Anyone know of a wifi sniffer/snooper that'll work with Exec

Hi
I'm looking for a wifi sniffer/snooper similar to mini-stumbler that'll work with the wireless net card of the exec.

Ditto

I know
Try wiFiFoFum (google it I can't remember the link) its a very good sniffer which works on the exec AND supports GPS for wardriving. PS its also FREE

Socket Companion has released a WM 5. compliant WiFi application a few days back. You can have a go at that. Its not free btw.

Try Hitchhiker v0.32 works with WM5

Excellent software, it was on my list of "Things that I have installed on my IPAQ to try on the Exec".
URL is http://www.aspecto-software.com/WiFiFoFum/
Some other points about the software :- It does not use an installer or CAB so nice and easy, also, make sure you do not use it at the same time as your activestink (USB) connection as it will not pick any WiFi access points up! There should be no reason to change any of the settings in the program to get it to work first time and pick up a AP even if you are already connected to it. Accessing the GPS might be another matter, not tried yet.
For anyone that has not used it yet, try it, its as good, if not better than the "non free" software and yes, it will log the gps location when a AP was found to a file for later incorporating into a TomTom POI for example.
It has issues with landscape display (it doesnt flip) but apart from that the software is fantastic!

ok I've tried wififofum with my leadtec bt gps and it works just fine.
wifi doesn't seem quite as sensitive as the ipaq 3715 but I can live with that!
wififofum all the way!

Newbie question

Does the alpine has wifi? Can i use hotspots? I've checked the apps that come with the alpine and i don't know if i have the necessary app to do so.
I have WM2003SE.
Thanks a lot.

Yes it does, and yes you can!
I suggest a program called Hitchhiker, and also WiFiFoFum. Hitchhiker is an easy to use program that does all the techno stuff of connecting to different WiFi networks, and WiFiFoFum gives you a broad view of the available networks close to you.
You don't require either of these to access WiFi networks, you can simply turn on the WiFi on your Alpine and select the network to use.

thanks a lot!

is there a simple way to check if your built-in wlan device is working properly? I have the "socket wlan tools mobile edition" but when I try to turn the radio on nothing happens, I also installed the "hitchhicker" and i get a message error saying I don´t have a wlan device... what the heck?!
Thanks again

WM5 wifi finder help please

Whats the best wifi finder for WM5. I tried a couple but they were not compatable so whats known to work and recommended by users with WM5.
Thanks

WiFi Companion
Worked great for me until I tweaked registry with another program.
Gives a list of available systems, strength, encyption, SSID, etc..

WiFiFoFum and Hitchhiker - only downside is they require .NET CF 2

Think thi smay well answer my query as well.
I did a corporate install and it's great but obviously I lost the o2 wifi directory software. Will wifi companion do what that did and find wifi hotspots and download the necessary settings for connecting?

WiFi Companion not working in Trinity?

HI!
I have been using wifi Companion in all my previous devices, but when I have moved to Trinity it seems to either interfere with other programs (Pocket Controller? O2 suite?) or maybe with AKU 3 itself.:
- Network listing dissapears randomly.
- It shows no connection while the MS icon in topbar says it's connected.
- No WWW etc simbols in the connection page...
Any other experience about it?
Any suggestion in case you solved it?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I got the same problem as well. I just gave up using it :-(

There are other tools mentioned here, that do work to detect wifi networks... please use the search function...

Try using GPSGate from franson. I know this fixes issues with WiFiFoFum on the Artemis. You need to output the GPS data onto another port. There's a free trial available, although I purchased it because it keeps the GPS running permenantly which provides near instant GPS fixes in applications such as tt6 etc.

thanks for answering, but I'm looking for an integrated solution to Wi-Fi management: changing networks, IP-profiles, and so on.
WifiCompanion suits most (not all) of my needs. I don't see any program so complete.
To saminegm: I did research, and tried (in other threads in this forum) with ministumbler, wifi fofum, hitchhiker, Wifi Knife, and -believe me- many others.
It's just that Wifi companion seems to fail in Trinity, that´s the reason for asking especifically in the Trinity forum.
Thansk anyway

Doesn't that use up the battery much faster to have GPS on all the time?

Wrong issue?
BTW weren't we talking about wi-fi programs? What is the issue with GPS? I don't even have a GPS enable ROM, they are not available in Spanish... yet.

Best wi-fi scanner software for TyTN?

I'm looking for some (inexpensive) software to detect wireless networks. Can anyone recommend a good scanning program for my Vario II?
Cheers.

I like Hitchhiker - scans and assists in connection to hotspots.
Also like Wififofum - has a nice radar type screen as an option or just lists networks and details. Does not connect to networks just shows them.
Both above require the .net cf framework 2 to be installed as well
Both are freeware
http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/
http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/index.html
Sometimes Hitchhiker shows an error on very first start up but ignore it and possible soft reset and should be fine from then on.

The best WiFi scanner
I found this freeware on 8525software.com. Its called WiFiFoFum. I think this is what you're looking for. http://www.8525software.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,27/func,select/id,4/

WiFiFoFum is best

I've a collection of 18 wifi programs, i've tried all of them.
Hitchhiker is good, not invasive like WiFi Companion.
To capture Packets, Airscanner mobile sniffer is the best, but seems that promiscous mode doesn't work on hermes.

I was tempted to purchase wi-fi Companion (it looks great). What do you mean by "invasive"?

Even under wm5 it has a habit of giving this error at first installation. Worth a soft reset and retry.

has anybody managed to use Hitchhiker on WM6?

I just installed WM6 and for some reason hitch hiker will start, it will find a network, connect and then error and result in me having to do a soft reset.
this program is amazing and MUCH needed since i need to connect wirelessly anywhere i am.
is there a way to get this to work?

Hi, Im using WiFi Companion, howerver the WiFi signal reception is very weak as it shows only 1-2mbps, btw im connecting at my on LAN .
Anyway to improve reception? Thanks in advance!

Sorry forget to mentioned that i have set the Wlan to "G" on my pocket PC but still no avail.

Hitchhiker on WM6?
Bt: the companion keeps low power on the wlan to save energy, so that's the reason you see only 1-2 mbps, just give more gear on the net and the speed will go higher.
Any news on Hitchhiker or another program with such functionality working well on WM6?? I don't think WFFF do such great job, does it try to connect and resolve net address once discovered a new network?

I don't have news on Hitch and WM6. But WFFF does not assist with the connection. Nice looking radar screen that can give true radar if GPS sotware is in use - other than that if it's something that provides a connection then WFFF is not the one for you. (Curiously a long time ago the developer did have an option to connect but abandoned the option for technical reasons).

Netbox works with WM6
