Ministumber works very fine with Dell Axim. HP Ipaq (6950) is bad for any such activity. Although the processor power is very nice, but of no use. I'll try ipaqlinux soon -- ~SB http://exploitsearch.com On Feb 11, 2008 9:26 AM, David M. Zendzian <dmz () dmzs com> wrote:
The problem with the nokia is that they only put 64M of RAM into it. Who in this day & age thought of that with ram prices so cheap. But with that in mind, and using the hacked OS2007 image i'm fairly stable :) at least enough to run some "decent" apps (600 page ebook, kismit, a few xterms, ssh, etc; never all at the same time...). Just don't load a lot of applets and extra apps, it is a small tablet. http://maemo.org/community/wiki/Os2007On770 That's the link to the OS2007 for the 770. I still have some issues with stability but i know it's 100% due to running out of ram & hitting swap. It does run way too many daemons, but it is linux and you can tweek it some :) David If you need more power, there is always the OQO of the sony. But they are slightly bigger than the average PDA.

Fine, I give Nokia the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps a loose surface mount component... ok. Whatever, I get it. Crash Crash Crash. So I then bought another one. It wasn't stable enough either and crashed almost as frequently (I was obsessed about keeping Juniors hands off of it this time around). Having 2 unstable Nokia devices are enough for me to perhaps inspire the pentester to think again about using even one. If someone has better luck with this, then good for you! I am jealous, as I have spent untold hours on mine trying to get things to a point of stability. As it is now, these are relegated to sitting on a shelf in the home lab. The shelf is labeled "The Junk Shelf". Spend and learn. Jay James INFOSEC ID Analytics, Inc.

Try a Nokia N810 and run kismet, aircrack, dsniff, and metasploit instead. On Feb 4, 2008, at 8:02 PM, Paul Greene <techlists () comcast net> wrote:I hope this isn't too off topic for the list. I want to buy a PDA that can also be used as a phone, has builtin 802.11 b/g wifi, and, importantly, has no problems running mini- stumbler. If the device also had a built in 1 or 2 megapixel camera, even better. The HP iPAQ 510 looks like it has the specs, but I can't find anyone anywhere using this particular model with mini-stumbler. Almost all of the Google searches I ran on mini-stumbler and iPAQs came up with older posts, i.e. 2-5 years ago. (the operating system on the iPAQ 510 is Windows Mobile 6.0) I'm not set on an iPAQ, but am more interested in getting a current PDA model that someone is already running (with the above specs) and is enthusiastically happy with what they've got.
