July 07, 2006 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R.

Back by popular demand!

(no need for notebook)

Information from the software house itself follows.

As a network administrator, you want to protect your users' confidential data. What better way to do this than to stroll down the hall with Airscanner Mobile Sniffer hidden in your pocket? Thanks to our support for Ethereal packet capture format, grabbing your user's passwords out of the airwaves is as easy as watching a movie!
