MiniStumbler version 4.0 released - Wi-Fi spying software
April 26, 2004 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By anonymous 1.
It is a handy tool (available also in a version for Windows XP) that can help owners of Pocket PC PDAs to find Wi-Fi networks that they could re-use or simply break into... and this tool can even cooperate with a GPS receiver so you can drive around with your car in search of Wi-Fi networks...
MiniStumbler is a tool for Windows CE that allows you to detect Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) using 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. It has many uses:

- Find locations with poor coverage in your WLAN.
- Detect other networks that may be causing interference on your network.
