Wardriving w/ GPS & 770
 
Does anyone have a good method (or link to a page w/instructions) for Wardriving with a 770?

I'm working on a security project and I want to use the 770 to detect (and hopefully locate) rogue access points around my work.

The 770 seems like it could be a useful tool for this.

I have Kismet up a running w/o doing any tweaks, but maybe others can share their experiences?

Thanks!

I just drive around with the tablet's Select Connection screen open, it automatically refreshes every 15 seconds or something like that. If you're not doing highway speeds, it's generally plenty fast enough to get a good list of access points. (in my experience anyways...but i've only had mine/been war driving for two days now)

Slakker thats not war driving ;) War driving is finding the acces point and compromising it.

additionally, the Select Connection screen will only show APs that are broadcasting their SSIDs or are defined otherwise. kismet will discover the AP, hidden or not, and attempt to enumerate any devices associated with the AP.

Thats why Kismet would be my app of choice for this project. The site that I found about it (http://www.ptlug.org/wiki/Howto_Ward...gle_Earth_Maps was interesting (I had to translate it using Google) but I haven't had a chance to try their method. Anyone else with a Wardriving method?

Actually that would be piggybacking.....wardriving has nothing to do with using or compromising found APs

No that's called a felony.

I use applications like NetStumbler and Kismet in my job. They are excellent site analysis tools. I can judge wireless coverage easily, and know exactly what APs cover what area. Since PocketStuble doesn't work with my 8125's wireless card, an alternative for the 770 would be a great application; even if it has some shadier uses.
