Our review of the Wi-Spy DBx and the Chanalyzer software from MetaGeek is here. It's a pro-grade solution that gives you a HUGE amount of information about your wifi network.

@nicklmg A word of warning about giving out MAC and SSID’s in videos

 

Google and allot of other services store location data on mac address and ssid names to get round the issue poor ip based locations.  so if someone was to change there ssid and mac of their router and open say google maps an go to my location it would go straight to your location based on the mac/ssid alone.  

 

its from all those terms to agree to when you get a phone they store this data from phones with gps, so they have better location  positioning based on wifi alone.

 

just a warning, i know it's not that big an issue given half the forum know the street address by now (at least the ones in chat on wan show, lol)

 

I found this out when I moved a router 100 miles and did not change the settings and was using map's on my phone.  That’s just one scenario I am sure there are allot of other meta data issues,   lots of app out there are collecting mac and internet ip, not for the nsa but so advertisers can give you local adverts, your opening yourself up to people finding your ip which is more of big deal for an internet based company.  As they could keep doing it until you worked out that was the leek. I know its not as simple as that for the ip, but if your done that way, its over, time to get new everything/

 

The product looks really good, but I don’t think many people have the technical knowledge or the time or the money to fix there wifi.  Company’s yes, but at work wifi is really bad for lots or reasons, the dmz means all the software and bits of the net don’t work and then there’s the 300 devices per access point to contend with.  Like my work allot of places have given up on wifi being good, just functional.

 

Anyways I tip my tinfoil hat to you

My god... This would be so much fun... Not enough to justify the cost though. I wonder if i could get an SDR to do something similar.

He uses aircrack. You need a supported wifi interface.

My Alfa Network Antena is better then this...

I have a working interface, i use kali for pc analysis and have confirmed that aircrack works. any clues as to how i do this?

The name it self makes me cringe "chanelyzer". This device is completely irreverent for pros especially at $680 as you can do the same and much much more with a $50-80 SDR and RTL-SDR also the UI is just a gimmick as there's a lot of fluff on top. The SDR dongle it self should only cost $30-40 MSRP but it really shows how people blindly buy this stuff when they don't know what goes on behind the curtain. If your going to spend $680 you should just get a HackRF which operates at 30 MHz to 6 GHz and it not just receive but can also transmit. Also ALL of Ubiquiti's airMAX series have this built in and is called airView making this even more irreverent to pros.

Feedback: Informative and entertaining  ''now you know''

What's great in the video:

-Normality disturbance, (best joke of the week: Linus barbecues PSU)

 

-Learned:

Relevant difference about 3Ghz and 5GHz (non overlapping channels)

Pointed out :

-different software utlities.

-Generalities about interference/hardware  (ex: baby monitor)

 

I have no cons to adress.

Many consumer grade adapters, such as Belkin's F5D8053 Wireless N USB adapters, will work Out Of Box on major Linux Distributions, and support monitor mode with aircrack-ng no problem. Once you've achieved an adapter of such stature, it's a simple matter of Google searching up "Reaver WPS" and cracking all your neighbors ISP routers, as most still support push-button WPS connections. Security by obscurity, right?

Ouch, that price hurt.
