Stumbler  
Stumbler - the Wireless Network Stumbler for the iPhone

Introduction

A new release from the iphone-wireless team, Stumbler lets you view the wireless networks in your area. While right now Stumbler only handles 802.11 networks, soon you should see Bluetooth and GSM capabilities as well.

Stumbler is still in a early Alpha stage, but it is fully functional, and pretty stable.

Planned Features

would this allow me to connect to a VPN network that uses 802.1X/PEAP? I work on a college campus and I would love to have WIFI all day instead of crappy slow EDGE. Thanks, I am not familiar with this side of networking etc!

Comment by dennis.mccarney, Sep 11, 2007

I would like to be able to turn edge off, a weak wifi is better than edge.

when is wep cracking gonna be in?

Comment by djMaxM, Sep 17, 2007

any chance on the source code?

Comment by lokkju, Sep 17, 2007

source code is in SVN

Comment by kellizer, Sep 23, 2007

Great if the app could having a pinging capability from open networks to confirm that It is indeed an open network. The most suitable approach to this may be to call an http web service ad await a response.

i would love to contribute to a wireless sharing featue. It would be great to dock my iphone and extend the range of my current network.

Hey, My name is fabe and I would like to tell you about your very good work, buddies. I really like this app, and is very promising. I would like to suggest a name for the app, because in the home page said so. I think a great name would be: "iWi". Short and it's a short word for "iWifi" nothing else! Hope you like it!

I'm excited about this. Auto Scanning will be cool. Just keep walking and the iPhone vibrates as soon as it finds an open Wi-Fi. It would also be great if you could connect directly from the Stumbler.

I particularly like this program, but one thing that was a thorn in my side was the default.png I made my own, feel free to use it if you're able to upload it to your iPhone/iPod

Comment by wassermajster, Jan 03, 2008

with Raw 802.11 packet capture (monitor mode) would be best iPhone app. Continue great job

Comment by foofshop, Jan 26, 2008

ability to connect to listed SSIDs would be excellent. has development on this stopped?

thanks - dirtymouse

I noticed that when I had my router set to use WPA2 personal, stumbler reported it as WEP [WEP: Yes and WPA: No] while when I had it set to use WEP, it reported it as WPA [WEP: No and WPA: Yes] or am I just reading it wrong?

I continue to get a download error in installer.app. What source should I add?

Comment by MAS.DPL, Mar 18, 2008

So many people have recommended this, but as above I get download error in installer. I tried to manually install By putting unzipped files in 'apps' folder ... BUT I am a newb so would love a step by step guide to manually installing stumbler, properly pleaaaaase?

Comment by duhcati, Mar 27, 2008

Yeah, installer.app does not seem to work with certain sources; seems like you'll have to install it manually then :)

1. make sure you have installed OpenSSH (and that you did not turn it off with bosstools) 2. download the zip package above and unzip it 3. in my case (Leopard) the zipfile downloaded to and unzipped in my 'Downloads' folder. 4. note the IP address of your iPhone / iPod touch (mine is 192.168.1.12) 5. start terminal and type the following command: scp -r Downloads/Stumbler.app root@192.168.1.12:/Applications/ 6. the password is the default apple password (alpine) 7. restart your iPhone / iPod touch and you're done :)

good luck

Comment by robertvanbregt, Mar 28, 2008

@duhcati: will try your howto, but what source should work for Stumbler in Installer.app

Comment by robertvanbregt, Mar 28, 2008

Well, the SSH worked, but now I wonder if updating will be automatic. Will see...

Comment by tofarley, Apr 10, 2008

Is it possible to use the raw (monitor) mode drivers from the shell or other applications?

Comment by tmpuctionz, May 18, 2008

seems like this project was left on the shelves =/ bummer

Comment by harry.campbell8, Jul 20 (5 days ago)

It works. Far more comprehensive than the apple wifi search well done. I also made a new start page if anyone is interested:
