I’ve just complete work on a project I’ve had in mind for a while now, a warwalking case. As you can probably guess it involves fitting a war-drive rig (car excluded) inside a carryable case. As I had one going spare I started off with a fairly standard CD carry case: Bit of fun with […]

Updated wardrive rig
This post should be short and sweet as Dale beat me to the punch with an excellent write up of wardriving with BT4. Thanks to some back and forth advice, Dale’s hardware setup is also nearly identical to mine so I wont repeat anything he’s already published. But his post did push me to stop […]
kismet2gmapstatic: Updated versions
I’ve spent the day adding some additional functionality to my GPS mapping proof of concept (original here). The second release, kismet2gmapstatic-0_2.py, changes the scripts output to wrap the Google maps API call in a self contained HTML page, and contains multiple map images to mitigate the URL length limit. The third release, kismet2gmapstatic-0_3.py, builds on […]
BU-353 GPS Reciever
Recently added to my wireless toolkit is a USB GPS reciever. After a fair amount of research and some advice from more experience guys I ended up with the Globalsat BU-353 device below: (If you can’t make it out, that is a British 10p for size comparison) Unsurprisingly given some of my previous posts, the […]
kismet2gmapstatic (PoC)
I’m still following my recent interest in wireless networks and devices. In the past month I gained a USB gps reciever (which I forgot to write about, may have a short review shortly). After adding gps capability to my wardrive setup I proceed to scan the local area, then hit a brick wall. There appears […]
Breaking WEP
‘WEP is insecure and breakable’ – No surprise here, everyone knows this is the case. But there can be a large difference between knowing something is theoretically possible and seeing the security provisions fall over merely by being looked at. Recent InfoSanity research has shown WEP is still found on 30% of real-world access points. […]
Analysis of wireless statistics
As promised when the postman delivered the Alfa equipment, I’ve done some initial analysis of my first wireless capture. The data being analysed was collected during the evening commute back home, a trip that includes urban, sub-urban and rural areas so should be good representative sample group. Security The previous wireless post has already touched […]
New Alfa wireless equipment
I’ve just taken delivery of, and started to experiment with, my new wireless equipment consisting of an Alfa AWUS036H and some additional antennas. My primary (official) motive for purchasing new hardware was that my primary incident response laptop only has 802.11b internal so can’t connect to newer networks (and I’ve just upgraded my home network […]
