Why are you doing this? By fatboy on Feb 29 2004
Well, I purchased a set of 802.11b cards at a local hamfest and after getting my network setup, I wanted to see what other networks were in my neighborhood. I found a network utility called Kismet that allowed me to see other networks. As soon as I opened the door to my house, "Bwing!", there was someone with a wireless network next door. After that, I was hooked. I have a GPS I was using for APRS and the software logs where it sees these networks on the face of the earth. I needed a way to view the data and my friend Paul thought it would be really neat to put this information up on the web. He did the HTML and I programmed the database.



Why do you only support Kismet csv logs? By fatboy on Feb 29 2004
Kismet is the only software I have ran for logging wireless networks. I don't do Windows, so I don't know what Netstumber or other log file formats looks like. Please send me some.
