RE: Rouge Wireless AP

[Greg Copenhaver <greg.copenhaver () gmail com>]

Or kismet, which is passive, rather than actively probing like
NetStumbler does.  Since it does not rely on probing to detect networks,
and rather just listens for any wifi traffic, it will detect APs even if
they have their SSID broadcast disabled, and won't give you away as
someone searching for the rogue AP.  kismet is also open source, if that
matters to you at all.  It also has built-in GPS support, through the
gpsd daemon.

I'm pretty sure kismet in the BackTrack live cd, so if you run that (no
installation needed), you can run kismet without the hassle of
installing a new OS (linux) and compiling kismet.  It's possible you may
have driver issues for your wifi card, however.
