  1. The difference between them and this thread is they knew what the hell they were doing. They already make devices that pretty much do what you're talking about. They call them cell phones. You could also do this with a pda.

    Some PDA's and cell phones are very limited. but it seems like you don't have a clue what iam talking about.

    if you go back to a couple post and read redxine post he understands exactly what i want to do with it.

  2. I think you might need to review the concept of "wireless." Specifically wave frequencies that technologies use.

    A GSM or CDMA modem is very different than a wireless ap. Also, it means that the people using it will never be able to connect to you, and you will not even know that they are using it unless you have the equipment for sniffing cell phone communications.

    This thread is very convoluted but it seems like you want:

    Jasager - to make others connect to you

    Some way to track these people who connect to you - Finding the location of people who connect to you is theoretically possible if they don't move, never change IP addresses, and don't change their MAC address. Good luck finding this ethereal person.

    Zipit - for hacking someone else's wifi

    A way to triangulate the wireless ap that you break in to so that you know where it is - The variation in the wireless AP signal strength will pretty much kill triangulation efforts... unless you are planning on spending some time near it...

    GPS - because it was the subject of your original post

    TL;DR - This is the most diverse assortment of technology I have seen in a 10 post thread, and there is no real connection between them other than the words "wireless" "modem" "AP" and "GPS"

    Well in the day of Albert Einstein, Alexander graham bell and other great inventors like them came up with bright ideas and people thought that they were crazy and what they are doing is logically crazy but in the long run everyone is no able to benefit from it. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

  3. Oh so you're talking about triangulating a wifi signal.

    Effectively, it's fairly simple trigonometry. The only data needed is either distances at three points, or three angle values in the same situation. The more points and distances, the more accurate the result. The hardest part is collecting the data. In traditional GPS, each satellite has an extremely accurate cesium atomic clocks which accuracy to plus or minus 2 nano seconds. Each satellite therefore has the exact same clocks, and they are accurate enough to be able to measure distances between them by measuring the time it takes for a signal to travel (found by using those clocks as a basis) and dividing it with the speed of light. The earth side GPS receivers also have clocks, but they are not the accurate ones in the satellites, but are rather synchronized by subtracting a known latency. Using all these distances, the receiver can calculate it's exact position.

    The same thing could probably be done with wifi using the same concept, except there is no real 'time format' or clock keeping that goes on in the 802.11 stack. SO, the only real way to measure distances would be by signal strength. Three stations should then be able to triangulate a single point this way. Perhaps a directional antenna would help too in providing angle values.

    This would be a great way to locate rouge wifi users, but the concept is on a little shaky ground. I think I read a paper on it once...

    you said the exact thing what i want it to do and I think it can really be done. i was looking at a couple of devices and 1 device in particular caught my eye.the wireless usb modem that a ISP provide for internet anywhere. if iam correct that device receive transmission from cellphone towers. Some ISP cellphone towers also provide GPS signal. i just have to figure out how to make it work as intended
  4. hey guys my ISP just gave me a wireless usb modem to access the internet anywhere i go. Currently it works on my windows machine. i was wondering if anyone knows how to get it to work with suse 11.2 or backtrack 4.

  5. You will not make a GPS receiver look for networks, it isn't possible, they work on very different radio frequencies (1.17 to 1.57GHz, not 2.4 and 5.8GHz) and even if they didn't you'd need to write firmware from scratch that talks 802.11 rather than GPS signals. As mentioned, netstumbler/issider or a simple hardware device (even an Arduino with a GPS module and a serial wifi module would work) will report rough locations when a wifi signal is found, though without trilateration it won't be very accurate. A car satellite navigation unit may be capable of this, especially if it runs on Windows CE (ministumbler, wififofum) and has a wifi module. If it doesn't contain a wifi module then it would have to be fitted with one, otherwise it is not possible to detect wifi.

    i was kinda of thinking to build a unit that combines jasager the zipit and GPS all together. basically the jasager would do it job as you all known what it does. the zipit can be used to install airmon-ng, aireplay-ng ang aircrack-ng, etc. the GPS device would be used to locate a wireless ap or wireless ap client. so for example the gps would tell you how far the wireless ap is from your present location and tell you the exact location where the wireless ap is or if someone hack your wireless you would be able to track there ip address and use the gps to know exactly where they are located.

  6. Netstumbler lets you bundle it with a GPS to get an "approximate" location of an access point, but its not going to give you anything other than your general location when finding the access point. There isnt any GPS device I know of that alone has the capabilities to scan wireless networks. Thats not what a GPS does. Not saying you couldn't combine it with something, like Kismet or Netstumbler or other such software, but as a device, a GPS only talks to satellites, not wireless access points.

    As far as open ports, you would need something in addtion to the other two I mentioned, like nmap or other portscanner but nmap works by having internet access, and if you arent associated with the access point or able to get to it via the internet/wan/lan, then you cant scan the access point for open ports.

    right now GPS are programmed to talk to satellites. but iam sure with the right code it can talk to a wireless ap and know the exact location where it is

  7. i think its possible if you could find the right hardware to do it. I think the Iphone or the Android are only 2 possible phones it can be done with. Windows base pda and smart phone you will have to check out there hardware compaitblity and do some serious programming to make it work. I think if you can get a version linux installed on it with all the device hardware working correctly and you can connect to the internet with the phone you can download skype for linux and dial out. Its a really great idea if you think about it woo hoo

  8. Hi guys I have this great idea that just might be able to work. I was wondering if its possible if you can take a regular car GPS and program it to find the physical location of an ip or mac address of a wired or wireless AP or wireless client and display information like open port numbers, network traffic, protocols, etc.
