Wifi Hotspot Scanner

[Piesang]

Do anyone know about a application that I can use to scan for wifi hotspots that looks like a radar that will be able to give me more or less a idea where the hotspot is situated?

I'll check it out thanks.

but does net stumbler point u in the direction of the access point?

Netstumbler is a good program for that but you can only see where it is if you use it in conjunction with a GPS. Netstumbler for instance has that capability.

well got a tom tom gps unit lets see if i can get it working with that i also have the 6110 nav so either way it better work

Okes, one cannot detect the direction without a directional antenna irrespective of what software one uses.

And yeah. Use netstumbler as suggested.

Easy WifiRadar is simply a Wifi connection tool for Linux. I used to use it a while ago. Nothing special about it, though.
