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 can not be distributed through the app store, as it uses private APIs!

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.

Comment by mikeal.rogers, Sep 13, 2007

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.

Comment by mvbrorsen, Sep 23, 2007

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.

Comment by barratres, Oct 22, 2007

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!

Comment by nschum, Nov 08, 2007

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.

Comment by bilious, Nov 18, 2007

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

Comment by jim.kelley, Feb 15, 2008

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

Comment by robertvanbregt, Mar 15, 2008

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, 2008

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

Comment by rvnel...@pacbell.net, Jul 21, 2008

Please comment on OS 2.0 development; is it work in progress? ETA? I love the app; would pay for it. rgds, R

Comment by ramchargerse, Jul 30, 2008

Hey all, any new news on an update so that stumbler works with 2.0 firmware?

Comment by saintrobot, Aug 06, 2008

I loved Stumbler, any chance it showing up on the App Store?

Comment by sirbaenor, Aug 07, 2008

@saintrobot Haha, unlikely. I'm sure it will come to Cydia or installer 4.0 though.

Heres to hoping!

Comment by t...@cellfi.sh, Aug 08, 2008

Add GPS coordinations, logger and .ns1 / kismet format for saving. Would be great to use the iphone to bumbp my wigle.net scores.

Comment by joshmhurd, Aug 19, 2008

another vote to release on AppStore? please.

Comment by fpreston, Aug 23, 2008

Can't wait for this to work with the 2.0.x firmwares

Comment by int23h, Aug 25, 2008

yes, when will this be available for 2.0 firmwares? I saw it in the issues list. also, can this be downloaded as a cydia package somewhere?

Comment by randyguthrie, Sep 01, 2008

I tried to download this file with an iPhone 3G v2.0.2 and it said that Safari could not download the file. What is going on?

Comment by randyguthrie, Sep 09, 2008

I hate to ask a stupid question, but I just bought and jailbroke my iPhone.

How do I install this application without using App Store, Cydia, or Installer?

Comment by jplanglais, Sep 25, 2008

Had this on 1.1.4 and it rocks !

Need it on 2.1 !!

Comment by josefigueredo, Oct 07, 2008

Excellent work !

I can't wait for the planned features.

Comment by kowbeljared, Oct 10, 2008

Comment by dgealt, Oct 12, 2008

this needs to be available through the iTunes store... Sooner the better

i want to know where the folder download is on the iphone or my computer and what is this command do

Comment by y.steiner, Mar 12, 2009

Clearly auto scan + Vibrate will make it a killer app. waiting for the patch :) should be easy to do.

Comment by adrien.nicolet, Jul 21, 2009

That's a great API! I could check the sources out. Now what should I do to "install" this on my mac? I want to be able to use it in another project. I just want to be able to get the signal's strength of 3 known wireless networks.

Any suggestions? I'm new on iPhone dev and I'm a little bit lost!

Thank you!

Adi
