NetStumbler (also known as Network Stumbler) is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection of Wireless LANs using the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g WLAN standards. It runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. A trimmed-down version called MiniStumbler is available for the handheld Windows CE operating system.
The program is commonly used for:
- Wardriving
- Verifying network configurations
- Finding locations with poor coverage in a WLAN
- Detecting causes of wireless interference
- Detecting unauthorized ("rogue") access points
- Aiming directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links
NetStumbler's author, Marius Milner, maintains the occasionally updated stumbler.net website where the software is available for download. Another website, netstumbler.com, has more frequently updated information and wireless news.
As of February 2010, the author is working on an updated version that will work correctly with Windows Vista and Windows 7.[1]
