[BAT] dstumbler patches (sound, live logging, fakeGPS)

Wed, 14 Nov 2001 07:05:18 -0800

Just want to let everyone know that I've included some of these new features 
in dstumbler v1.0-rc1 as well as a set of brand new features:

- reports if the ssid of a network is default
 (based on Xam's great whitepaper on default ssids:
 http://www.wi2600.org/mediawhore/nf0/wireless/ssid_defaults/)
- monitor mode support for prism2 cards
- /dev/speaker audio support for reporting detected aps and nodes
 (adaptation of Kevin Kadow's version to be a little less noisey)
- realtime logging to file (for wi-scan'esque comaptibility)
 (adaptaion of Kevin Kadow's version to better integrate with the current
 logging facilities)

Features included in the prism2 monitor mode support include some very useful 
detection additions:

- detection of weped and adhoc networks
- detection of nodes on bss networks
 (useful for tracking down rougue connections *cough* "Wireless Lan
 Discovery"'ers)
- detects if a bss network uses shared or keyed authentication (along with
 nodes)
- detects the maximum supported rate of aps and nodes
- detects the beacon interval for aps
- detects if bss nodes are set to connect to any network or a specified one
 (useful for finding clients that could possibly be reassociated with a
 rogue network, or *cough* "Wirelss Lan Discovery"'ers)

For those of you that may have recently joined the list, if you would like to 
help beta test rc1 and have the time to report bugs and such, please contact 
me off list and I'll make sure you get a copy.

I'm looking to release a final of dstumbler and new version of airtools in 
around a week for everyone else that's interested.

Cheers,
