Mini Stumbler Equipment.

Jgaard · 10-04-2005

Hi

I've been asked to make a small and compact network scanner for my company.

I've never worked with PDA's before so I'm asking for help to buy the right equipment.

I need to be able to do the following:
- Logging networks of 802.11 b and g (logging a would be a bonus).
- Logging position with GPS.
- In as small a form as possible.
- At as low a price as possible

I know the small form factor (SFF) is a problem when it comes to price. But PDA size is what we need.

There is just one more thing. I've been searching for a PDA with GPS and 802.11 but not been succesfull. So I expect an expansion card is needed. Please only link to stumbler compatible hardware.

Windows or Linux, we don't care.

Are you planning on scanning inside a building? If so, a GPS isn't gonna do much for ya.

Jgaard · 10-04-2005

No the plan is to scan the areas around the buildings for starters, then when we know there is a network we will move inside to do a scan there.

We need the GPS to document that we caught the network in a specific area so that we can be allowed to wrek hawock in the department most likely to have put up an illegal accesspoint.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that term.

Never mind the use, what about the equipment?

Excuse me?

Jgaard · 10-04-2005

It's going to be used for legal purposes only.

So can any one give me a hint to what equipment I should recomend that we buy.

Who the hell asked what it was going to be used for? And I dont understand how a GPS will improve your chances of "locating the department" with a rogue AP. Wouldn't signal strength solve that mystery for you?

Yes the GPS could be dumped.
But we want to be able to supply this unit to anyone and then analyse the results afterwards.

Here's a solution if you can't find a handheld unit.

Find an iPAQ 3800 series on Ebay with the external PCMCIA sleeve.
Buy an iPAQ 3800 series serial sync cord.
Buy an ORiNOCO Classic Gold. FAB-Corp, WarDrivingWorld, Ebay.
Buy a cheap GPSr which has serial output.
Connect the sync cable to the GPS.
Load ORiNICO drivers.
Load MiniStumbler.

Stick a fork in it, and call it done.

Specifics abound of these forums for all of the above.
