Sniffing?

Hi everybody.
What tools can be used to sniff the wirless packages send between a mobile and X
I would like to sniff what/if my mobile phone is sending and receiving,
any wireless packages ( WLAN, or GSM/EDGE/UMTS/...)
What tools are available?

go search in networking forum

no reason for such a comment.

WTF! I tell you where you will find answers. You should thank me instead.

You can try PeekPocket, Hitchicker, or WiFiFoFum
The 3 are freewares and can be found at http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com

that why he told you non of them are packet sniffers
now here 3 sec on google http://airscanner.com/downloads/sniffer/sniffer.html
your welcome

found this while searching for something else. http://www.cam.com/vxsniffer.html

thanks.
I can use these for sniffing NDIS
WLAN IR ...
like for example does wireshark.
but not GSM or GPRS packets,
which is more interesting in the mobile context,
is there anyway to sniff GSM, GPRS packets?

yes - but the equipment is SUPER expensive (6-digit US$) and is available to law enforcement buyers

Concurrent GPRS and WiFi connections

Hi all,
I am writing an app in which both the WiFi connection and GPRS connection are available for use at the same time. I am working on a WinMobile 6 HTC Wizard in USA on T-Mobile network.
When I have both connections open, I am able to access the WiFi but not the GPRS (faster connection I imagine). Does anybody have any ideas on how I could leverage using both connections, binding sockets on each?
Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. I don't know much about the CommManager in WinMobile, but if anybody knows any way for me to *possibly* be able to use both connections, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

As far asa I know, WM defaults to the strongest connection available, but some apps are very stubborn about using the WiFI unless it's the only thing available. I'm not a PPC developer, so I'm sorry I can't offer any more insight, but there should be no reason that you couldn' code your app to use both of the connections.

i dont think that is even possible in my opinion but that would drain the battery fast.

I'm definitely wrong by calling it the CommManager, thats just the user interface on WM to select which communications you want open. I meant ConnManager, which is the Connection Manager, which I've learned about here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416435.aspx
I do think its possible, but unclear how to access the Connection Manager API. If anyone has any background with programming using the Connection Manager API, I'd greatly appreciate some help in the form of example source code. Also, if anyone has ported a C++ library to C# before, I could use some assistance with that. The Connection Manager API is in the connmgr.h file which I've attached here, and I want to be able to use it in C#. I wish to use this on the mobile device and don't know exactly the best way to go about doing this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

GPRS and WiFi connections in use at same time

Hi all,
I am writing an app (Visual Studio, C#, .NET CompactFramework) in which both the WiFi connection and GPRS connection are available for use at the same time. I am working on a WinMobile 6 HTC Wizard in USA on T-Mobile network.
When I have both connections open, I am able to access the WiFi but not the GPRS (faster connection I imagine). Does anybody have any ideas on how I could leverage using both connections, binding sockets on each?

I think you may be out of luck. Although I'm not really a PPC coder, I believe that the OS will always default to the fastest/most powerful connection. However, I may be wrong and one of the more experienced people on this board will most likely correct me.

Connection Manager, not CommManager

Don't think it's possible...
Unless you use something like WMWiFiRouter.

As I know, WMWiFiRouter is only for sharing a connection between a WM device and one desktop (Ad Hoc). Is it wrong?

Thanks a lot! That was a good idea.
I have two PCs connected to my mobile phone so far.
My next problem is to make this connection secure as possible.
WMWiFiRouter only allows me to select WEP, not WPA.
It's a HTC Touch Cruise with WM6.
I would again appreciate if somebody could tell something more about it.
Or maybe I shall ask in the WMWiFiRouter thread? Which of them is actual?
Thank you in advance

How to prevent phone from using certain connections?

Hi,
I have a Windows Mobile 6 Standard based phone (actually an HP one called IPAQ 514) and would like to configure its connections.
What I want is that my phone does never connect to the internet by my phone provider but only with WLAN and Bluetooh. This means I want to disable the internet by my provider completly. Is this possible?
The setting should be used for all applications on the phone and also for those I'll install in the future. Currently I removed GPRS connections, except for MMS and I removed "DFÜ" (German). Anything more to do?
How to set up Internet Explorer?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Greetings,
Andreas Balzer

I don't want to go online through my provider either so I simply deleted the media net profile on my phone. Not sure how your HP works, but something along those lines should work.

if you want better controll, you can leave all dial up/gprs connections in there for moment when you really need it, and just disable and enable the one you need. this is simple small utility, which do the trick - modaco no data - http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
