WI-Fi sniffing can become addictive

Ever wish you had Wi-Fi Sniffing as a sixth sense, yes this may be just a dream, but luckily there is now a nifty little gadget especially useful to fringsters that turns this dream into a reality. This little gadget will help you sniff out all those free hotspots wherever you are.

The Hotspotter provides four essential pieces of information about the
Wi-Fi networks it detects: SSID, signal strength, encryption status and channel, making it a must have for fringsters who have Wi-Fi enabled phones.

However be warned that sniffing Wi-Fi may become addictive! Some of the side affects of Wi-Fi sniffing documented are FREE fring calls, FREE fring text chat and a multitude of other mVoIP effects.

Ok so here’s the bad news, although Wi-Fi may be free, sniffing Wi-Fi doesn’t come cheap the average unit costs R500.00 locally. Still a way cool gadget to get your hands on though.

Well so what are you waiting for? Got any more gadgets to tell us about.. this is the place.

Not everyone who has an exposed wi-fi net knows that anyone can help themselves to it. Piggybacking is generally frowned on. Maybe ask permission before using any newly discovered hotspots… :-)

Well, if you have a WindozeMobile smartphone, you can just install Wififofum2 (it´s free) and save the money for the Wifi sniffer…for this money you can buy a nice bluetooth GPS receiver, because Wififofum also has GPS support… :-)
