Re: Wireless Hacks book published by O'reilly

I assume that is the O'reiily book. I got it at a local used book store. It is a bit dated, but still very useful. 

Regarding Netstumbler, you should try to get kismet running. It is much more detailed. You can find stealth access points, sniff packets, etc. However, it is very complicated to install. I still haven't got the GPSD interface compiled. 

If you have enough hardware, run kismet on one computer, then use wifi on another computer. That is, sniff your own packets. It is educational. ;-)

Kismet has a variety of odd sounds. One is for an alert whose significance I don't understand, but it is great for raising your paranoia level.

Subject: Wireless Hacks book published by O'reilly


Hello!
I just finished reading the copy of Wireless Hacks that I checked out
of my public library several days previously. This is my second time
around with it since it was published, and obviously bought by either
the SIBL branch of the New York Public Library, this copy, first time
was with one copy from BPL (Brooklyn Public Library), both copies were
the first editions published in September of 2003.

I found it to be an interesting work. Rob Flickenger, if you are still
around here, meaning the list, then thank you for taking the time to
compile these hacks into one volume, each and every one were a big
help to a better understanding concerning both the WAP11 access point,
and the card I am using, a wavelan based one, but an IBM OEM one.

I found it interesting to watch the traffic statisics collect via Net
Stumbler and of course I discovered other access points out in my
neighborhood, including one or two who were not running simple forms
of security.
