Simple windoze wifi network sniffer?

[hArTh-UK]

OK so I've moved into an apartment in Earls Court in London and my BT telephone line is being activated next Tuesday. In the interim I've bought a nice dlink combo ADSL modem/router/wifi ap etc to service my laptop.

I want to see if there are any open wifi ap's on which I can piggy back for a few days. I need a windows app that could find them for me. Note, I dont want to crack any network's encryption. I just want to find open aps. Kismet for widows looks like a biatch to set up. Any simpler-to-install windows apps out there???

You will need however, a supported wifi adapter INSIDE your notebook.

How's the weather biatch?

OR your wlan card's driver/interface utility's "scan networks" button. Or windows' for that matter.

Netstubler will show you all the airwaves, encrypted, hidden, boring, porn... A bit better than most other "scanners"

Weather has been amazingingly good. Most days are 20 odd degrees. Not too much blue sky but the cloud cover is thin. Temp hit 32 last week which was a 60 year record ... it felt like Durban

Hmmm I dont think this is going to work. I have this product set:

Of which I only have the DSL-G604T up and running as my new lappy is only arriving next week.

This prog seems to need an actual wifi card inside the PC?

O/T Dude thats not a good thing!
All the polution there is in the upper-hemispheres, so now what happens is the earth cant release the heat produced at the core - polution once again is the cause!

Sooner or later, things are going to heat up too quickly, too fast and too much. Volcanos will erupt all over, causing widespread ash throughout the skies, not letting any solar radiation through. The result? Earth will quickly cool down. Can you sense an Ice-Age coming along?


I just had to let this out, soz..

Bah!

I cant find a sniffer that works with an external ethernet linked wifi router!

My dlink is linux based but doesnt seem to support linux sniffers i.e. too cut down.

Sulk ... 5 working days to multimegabit goodness

/me taps table impatiently ...
