RE: PDA recommendation for running Mini-stumbler (maybe OT?)


I've got a HP ipaq "travel companion"...has the built in GPS...it is
unable to run ministumbler, however wififofum works well. To be honest
with you, I am not that impressed with this unit and would not highly
recommend it.

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.

Hi Paul,

I've not had any luck with ministumbler on WM6.

I tried ministumber on my Windows Mobile 6-based AT&T Tilt (aka 8925 aka
HTC TyTN II). "Not a valid PocketPC application" was the error.
This got me reading the ministumbler release notes and noticing the last
release was in 2004, and it was probably hopeless. :-)

However, on this HTC phone that includes an 802.11 radio and GPS...
these toys seem to work very nicely together with WiFiFoFum2 to make a
self contained war walking/driving tool that will log GPS locations of
accesspoints if that adds any value for you:

I've not done a ton with this phone in this respect, however, and would
be interested in what folks have had good luck with in terms of
wireless tools for WM6. Something with a bit more functionality for
pentesting would be nice to have in a pocketable device.
