I was wondering if the following linux based wifi tools can be ported to pandora:

Kismet
NetStumbler
Wellenreiter
WEPcrack
airsnort
wepwedgie
Hotspotter

Theoretically practically ANYTHING can potentially be ported. ;)

Getting hold of the source code for the program, and all it's dependences is the first step. The second is figuring out if the wifi driver on the Pandora has the same kind of program interface as your standard x86 linux driver. That's something we probably won't know until it's out.

Planning on a little bit of Hacking/Cracking are we? ;)

That's about the only reason I plan on getting a pandora :p

btw, aircrack is missing from the list
 
Damn yes! Wardriving has just reached another level with the pandora. I remember having to carry my notebook around in a backpack to pick up WiFi signals. Almost got busted this way... having a pandora in your pocket with airsnort running, reading the newspaper on some bench in front of an office building... oooooh! Stealthy!

Well I look for wifi hotspots with my Nokia N95. Which allowed me to find out that the loudly advertised free wifi at McDonald's (in Ireland) wasn't free at all.

Incredibly enough tho there doesn't seem to be any utility out there for Symbian to break WEP protections...

It is such a pity that there is no wifi module visible on the board yet. At least if we could see that it was some open chip maker, like Atheros, we would know if it supported promiscuous mode or not.

But I suppose that no news is good news (well at least it isn't bad news, well not yet anyhow)

There is a free wifi in every happy meal :D

Who said anything about wardriving? This is the Age of Warwalkers! =)
 
Hm, I think the range of the internal Pandora Antenna will be not very great, I don't know how big the Antenna will be but I'm sure you need to Stand 2 or less Meters beneeth a W-Lan Hotspot or a W-Lan router to have acess. :D

But I like these "War-Walking" Idea. The Pandora would be cool for trying it because everyone think you are playing a NDS Lite while walking through the Streets :lol: AFAIK this "Kismet" is open source so maybe there is a way to have such a tool onto a ARM platform.
I have a buddy who think his WEP W-Lan protection is enough so it's time to show him what's possible with a small, little thing in shape of the Pandora. ;)
 
It's too bad there's no internal GPS, that would make an excellent complement to any war[drive/walk/etc]ing capabilities. Though I suppose I could always get a USB or bluetooth GPS. Here's to hoping the wifi chip has promiscuous mode and other abilities useful for cracking. This could be an excellent device for that. (cue "but... but that's illegal! and... and it's bad!" posts)

Its not illegal as long as you throw in the "for educational purpose only" statement.

You could plug in a GPS through USB I'd bet.

Kismet has built-in GPS capabilities, so it can map out where you saw the networks, and what signal strengths were where. I'd use that alone without the (illegal) war walking. :)
 
Regardless of the actual use people make, there are legitimate security uses for them. You never know how good your defenses (and security staff are) until you test it. The bests tests are done when unexpected and when they can't see them coming (e.g. when their boss playing on his DS lite). Especially for networks with multiple Wifi nodes, a small portable device would be awesome.

I was actually thinking of applying for a security job, it would show a lot if in the interview you asked if they wanted a demo of your auditing skills, pull this out, and start to find security holes (or the lack there of), right in your interview.

Anyway, there is no reason not to have these, the programs are legal, so why not. Someone will port them.
 
I doubt anyone will hire you based on the fact that you know how to wardrive. Plus you would definitely not get the job if you failed in the interview
