Wardriving.....what a change!

I had a lovely session (if you can call it that) Wardriving around Zurich today.  Well, when I say Wardriving, I really mean Wartraining, Warwalking and Wartramming....public transport is marvellous.

Using my trustly Dell Mini9 running Windows 7 (Ultimate...hey, I am a MS Technet Plus subscriber!) and, most importantly, inSSIDer, I managed to scan nearly 4500 unique networks.  Only 15% of them were insecure (plus the 19% running WEP, of course!!).

inSSIDer, though, is an interesting tool which can get bogged down.  I managed to practically freeze it up as I set APs to never expire and that makes it run like a dog.  A tip for geeks like me: inSSIDer has settings to "Delete Inactive Networks After a given time....don't set it to "Never Delete".  Anther tip is to "Enable Logging"....do this and save more often than you purge old APs....you can open the GPX file into Excel as a read-only Worksheet and then chop out the details you want.....you will thank me later!!!
