I just want one that will run on XP and tell me SSID, IP, and whatever else I need to know. Life's a bitch and then you die so f**k the world and let's get high!

Though I know of no good linux ported wifi scanner apps as of yet to windows/xp. Airsnort looked like it had a port, but the two ports available don't work. My suggestion:/ Install a small linux install:D Like partition magic a 500meg partition, and add gentoo small version. I know it's like 80 megs. I don't know however how big it extracts to. Yea Netstumblers is nice. For Pda there is something called MiniStumbler But I prefer PocketWinc. Kismet does own for unices, and linux flavors. Unix variants are great for software. I trust kismet. Netstumbler is not going to be able to detect APs with broadcast SSID disabled. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Try knoppix-std.org, which contains the following tools on live distro CD: Quote: wireless tools /usr/bin/wireless/ * airsnarf : rogue AP setup utility * airsnort : sniff, find, crack 802.11b * airtraf : 802.11b network performance analyzer * gpsdrive : use GPS and maps * kismet 3.0.1 : for 802.11 what else do you need? * kismet-log-viewer : manage your kismet logs * macchanger : change your MAC address * wellenreiter : 802.11b discovery and auditing * patched orinoco drivers : automatic (no scripts necessary) Also, just read a /. article and there was mention, I believe, of Kismet finding twice as many APs as Netstumbler.
