06.10.07New hardware…I got a Linksys WUSB54G v4 off Ebay last week, with the intention of modding it for an external antenna, but took it for a drive earlier today.I was picking up a lot more SSIDs during a drive around town, routes I've travelled before and I'm pretty sure I was picking up SSIDs from both sides of the street, as opposed to the houses on the side I'm driving. It's done my wigle.net stats the world of good ;) Looks like the WUSB54G is a good, receptive bit of kit. Can't wait for the modding! Continue Reading...

05.21.07Realtime updates in Google EarthThere's a neat bit of software that you can use in conjunction with your GPS unit and Google Earth to show your position in realtime while Stumblin'. Using gps2geX, the software generates an "on the fly" KML file which is loaded in Google Earth. The co-ordinates for gps2geX are updated from the gpsdX daemon, which is also being used by KisMac, so no one app is taking sole control of the GPS unit. The results are pretty cool. You can see your exact position on Google Earth, updated as per your settings in gps2geX, Google Earth even tilts and pans the ...

05.17.07Gone in (just over) 60 secondsAn article on The Register proclaiming WEP is dead. A group of 3 German students have refined the methods and developed a faster method for cracking using ARP packet injections... “So to make it a little bit easier for the reader we can say that 60 seconds are enough to collect 40,000 packets and crack the key with a 50 per cent success rate.” Basically, this kicks down the already shoddy house that is WEP encryption, and really, if you have no need to hook up your PSP and Nintendo DS,you should be using WPA authentication on your networks at least.
