There will be a worldwide coordinated WarDrive on August 31. Read more here.
This week I am cleaning up some of the loose ends in version 0.3.30. When this is done, I will make it available. This version will work with the new drivers from windowsupdate, unlike version 0.3.23.
All you HPC2000 users: as soon as I have figured out how to make a Windows CE install package, I will be able to give you a version that supports CE 2.11.

This site will give you the most current information available about the development of the NetStumbler and MiniStumbler software.
The general idea is that this will be a highly condensed version of the information that you find at netstumbler.com.
There's not much here yet, so check back soon.

This email came to me via a number of sources. If you're familiar with wireless, nothing here will surprise you. However, for the folks that go to Fry's to buy a cheap AP and unwittingly blow holes in their company's LAN security, this should be required reading (as should the article at extremetech).

| Q. What is Netstumbler? A. NetStumbler is a Windows tool that allows you to discover 802.11b (and 802.11a, if using Windows XP) wireless LANs. It includes GPS integration and a simple, intuitive user interface. Though primarily targeted at owners of wireless LANs, it has been the de facto tool for casual users such as "war drivers" since 2001. NetStumbler 0.3 won the eWeek / PC Magazine i3 award for Innovation In Infrastructure, 2002. |  |
