WiFi Hopper v1.2 Build 2008-021700 Win

WiFi Hopper is a WLAN utility that combines the features of a Network
Discovery and Site Survey tool with a Connection Manager.

Sporting a comprehensive arsenal of network details, filters, RSSI
graphing and built-in GPS support, WiFi Hopper is invaluable for
identification and advanced characterization of neighboring wireless
devices.

Additionally, WiFi Hopper can connect to unsecured, WEP, WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK networks directly from within the application. With editable
network profiles and dedicated Connection Manager execution mode,
WiFi Hopper can be used as a significantly more transparent
replacement for Windows and manufacturer-provided wireless clients.

WiFi Hopper encompasses a feature set aimed for a wide variety of
audiences including Wireless Network Administrators, Security
Professionals, Programmers, QA Engineers and Power Users.

Following is a quick tour to the main components of WiFi Hopper. Be
sure to check out the Features page for a complete picture of the
extensive feature set!


Network Discovery and Site Survey

WiFi Hopper can display details like SSID, network mode, encryption
type, RSSI, frequency and channel amongst numerous others for a
complete picture of the environment.

It's easy to filter out classes of networks by using the network
filters. Additionally, a GPS device can be used for reviewing the
approximate locations of the detected access points.

With a combination of other features like signal graphing, WiFi
Hopper can also be used for additional tasks like detecting channel
congestion.


More Transparent Connection Manager

Compared to the Windows provided and manufacturer supplied connection
managers, WiFi Hopper is significantly more transparent.

With its network profile support, WiFi Hopper can remember your
networks so that it can automatically connect to them as they become
available.

Finally, WiFi Hopper also supports a 'Network Hopping' mode in which
it automatically connects to open networks in the area.


Security, Auditing and Testing

WiFi Hopper can be used to track unsecured wireless networks that may
be compromising network security. Additionally, WiFi Hopper makes it
easy to look to unauthorized access points involved in an attack or
simply causing interference.

For programmers and QA engineers, WiFi Hopper is the ideal,
Windows-NDIS based, testing tool. With WiFi Hoppers connectivity
features, functionality of WLAN drivers and hardware can be
independently verified.
