Oh it works wonderfully! I was not so concerned about crushing as I was about the wiring getting severed by moving doors, windows and such. Since I armored the cable, I have had zero problems with cable damage. Added bonus, the added thickness and the Electrical tape wrapping makes the cable LOOK to...

I was considering volunterring for that... Took initative and checked the tucows regestration page. There are a ton of fields to fill .... Vistumbler is far too good to keep quiet about...

I may have asked this before, but does anyone know how to get Vistumbler listed with freeware websites?

Awww... Those sad little single AP's Makes me sad <sniff> out there all by themselves

Yeah I like all of thsoe features as well... ANd I think I have some more clear vinyl tubing to armor the cable....
I tried repairing my old GPSr but all I ended up doing is burning the soldering pads off of it .. grrrr!

Wife promised to buy me a new reciever and I found this one. I like it very much. Manufacturer price is 60USD bt I found it at Amazon.com for 30USD.

I am thinking it is in the software.... we all know that the radio is the cheapest part of the package. ANd good luck getting 'geek to give it up.

or a BB lodged in your skin LOL'

tell me about it I was in a blue funk all day over it. But I looked at the damage and I think I may be able to resolder it.

LOL...

Well Me and my big mouth! HAd everything ready for a nice long scan along the interstate and what happens??? My GPSr gets busted up when the USB hub I had velcroed to the celing of the car decides to fall. USB plug broken clean off the unit! Is simple repair but without a GPSr, Vistumbler won't posi...

Am planning to drive Lexington KY to Mount Sterling Ky abot 150 miles or so. Wish luck on the scans!

would it help if I took the bullets out???

Imagine what could be done with a loaded weapon pointed at you ROFL

Chessymaster... This is simply a strangeness of Vista .. Is harmless..

Talk about a low S/N ratio! Yeah Now I can see what ChessyMaster was saying.
This would also explain why I get 5-8 Ap's for the traffic control systems in the area. they have null ssid's and generate several AP's.. but oddly enough , only one antenna visible each.

Chessymaster.. two points. Both minor. First,Please post images as JPG or BMP as not everyone can see TIF on these boards. Second. As you may have seen.. Hiding your SSID does NOT make your WLAN 'invisible'. Will cause curiousity to what you would be wanting to try to hide.Use random Numbers and Let...

@ Andrew.. Yes I think SS first then Coords would be better. Intutitve.

@ andrew.. I noticed those gaps in the signal strength as well. I just figgured that the detected signal was below a lower limit.

@ Freebe... Oh I just arbritarily selected colors in the GPS signal strength properties so that I could see better. No dependacy on strengths.

Yes Freebe, is a little complicated to explain but easier to show.
In google earth, right click on the AP signal strength then select properties then under second tab click on select color.

Here is a screen cap using both the test KMLs. Orange circle is from the Range KML the Blue is from Signal Strength KML Test Ap is a Linksys with MAC ending 47:CB As you can see, using signal strength as the variable for circle radius leaves a high level of uncertanty as to the location of Ap Linksy...

Was watching Fresh Prince of Bel Aire this morning on TVland and mulling over the Circular Signal strength code. I think what I was really looking to do is be able to take a signal and generate a circular plot giving an idea of the location of a given Ap on that circle. Theoretically, If one has thr...

I like both solutions, Andrew.. But I think I like Highest strength better. Could be as an option for either one?

Yeay, I did the rnage thing manually.. I used my 'benchmark' AP Southern States Coop (ssid=SSCOOP) and since I know where that AP lives, I was able to use your Circle script. I will look over your posted KMLs.

Well, I don't guess it has to be live, but as an option to the GPS signal strength graph. Instead of the line graph style. Maybe tie radius to estimated signal strength? More intutitive I would think. I tried to post this reply a few hours ago, but I think your server been feeling ill again.

andrew, I happenned across an autoIT script that generates circles for google earth in the Techidiots site.

Maybe you might be able to import it into Vistumbler.. radius = signal strength?

RE Grass cutting.. does that include Airfare and lodging?

Go to the Wifi forums here http://www.wirelessforums.org/wireless-networking-discussion/ . There area coupke of senior members there that work exclusivly with Ubiquty bullets. From what I understand, these are excellent products for those who can afford them, Also do a search "google" Keyw...

I would say one option would be VistaPE . VistaPE is based off vista files, sot it should have the needed netsh commands. It also looks like it could be booted from some type of flash (http://www.instructables.com/id/Create-a-Bootable-USB-drive-with-VistaPE/). I guess the trick would be finding som...

ha ha ha .. Got it the 11 time through

well, I have found some pico-ITX motherboards online About the same footprint as a 3.5 drive. And they were only Linux or CE.. hmm... well Like I said, would be cool..

Kewlness... Maybe oone day when one of us bothers to re-write in a Linux compatable code....

Ummmm have you and Andrew discussed posting Vistumbler at freeware sites like Tucows and Cnet?

Is Vistumbler Linux compatable? was looking at some Linux based embedded systems and that question came to mind

A sub-micro computer running vistumbler from flash memory with a 500mW radio , GPSr and antenna built in. Auto Dloads onto a removable Flash card or USB. Hmmm... I am sure there is a tech head out there somewhere that could try this. Hmmm... maybe a Windows CE based hardware?? No, not a laptop. Hmmm...

new scans in wardriving

Soulnd like someone got upgraded to SlaveDriver 3.14 LOL

I had started labeling the AP's BUT with so many ap's on each drive, this is nearly impossible. I would guess just this little drive would take me better part of four hours to label them all

Got my omni mounted for good on the warscout.. here is a sacan from drive about the neighborhood.. as per usual VS1 and KML.

And here is a pic result of scan:

It's these little 'in' jokes that make forums fun

Poor thing... Maybe you should hire a temp modem and let this one take a couple weeks off?

Kewl.. is that in the wiki?

Yes .. the next geration in Stumblers

lol.. that is funny thogh.. are wwe ceratin those arent satellites?? Or Eyebrows?

well heck, Freebe, why didn't you say it was an Ubiquity Bullet! From what I understand , those are awsome! IF I could afford one I would own one.

so could this technique work with ANY .INI errors?

Never could get Netstumbler to work for me.. I think mostly because of it's radio reqirement

So is there a belt with Longitude = 0? and I would think there would be a large cluster at E 0Deg and N 0Deg LOL
