| Ensuring Wireless Security with WirelessMon 2.0 PassMark Software has announced the release of WirelessMon 2.0, the new version of their wireless network monitoring software. WirelessMon 2.0 is a tool for identifying security risks resulting from unsecured wireless servers and for plotting geographic coverage of wireless networks on a map. The new map plotting feature enables users to create a WiFi 'coverage map' by automatically plotting the relative signal strength and number of detected signals on an imported map. Tracking points may either be entered manually or read directly from Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. Further improvements include: Added 'Channel Usage' graph showing potential interference; Ability for WirelessMon to act as a 'connection manager' allowing direct connection to an access-point from within the program; a redesigned user interface; and logs are now saveable in a Microsoft MapPoint compatible format. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
