DSWifi wifi_lib_test, Suggestions? Questions? Comments? Options

[sgstair]

Hiya people,
As you might know, I've recently released a binary of my work in progress library test.. It's nothing special, but it does some useful stuff which is why I released it.
Anyway, I'm interested in some feedback - specificly things that could be improved or that you'd like to see done differently, but any feedback is good

For reference:
Binary link: wifi_lib_test.nds (akkit.org) - wifi_lib_test.ds.gba (akkit.org)

Revision history:

Version 0.1 (initial release)
* Included "wardriving" program, capable of collecting data on up to 512 wireless devices (not necessarily all Access Points)

Version 0.1a
* Updated gui on main menu and "wardriving" program
* Added "keyboard test" for a newly designed keyboard module

Version 0.1b
* Increased "wardriving" limit to 4096 devices
* Fixed some really stupid bugs in the keyboard.

Version 0.1c
* Increased compatibility! M3 support added, could fix other platforms.
* minor tweaks

Version 0.2
* Added Ability to connect to Access points
* Added UDP "Experimenter" to send UDP packets.
* More tweaks, bugfixes, etc...
* See www.akkit.org/dswifi/ for PC-Side test app & more info.

Version 0.2a
* Added support for rate-spoofing to increase AP compatibility.
* Fixed crash bug relating to ARP timeout

Version 0.3
* Added "Packet Capture" mode
* Added Connect via WFC data option
* Improved connection ability
* Added DNS test
* Added TCP test
* Improved speed, memory efficiency
* ICMP echoes

More features will be added to this in the near future, of course.

-Stephen

As Tssf has said in another post this thing is sensitive.
I picked up 4 access point, 3 of which i didn't know about (all unencrypted too....)
I know this is like a alpha release but i have a couple of suggestions.
1. Instead of hex (?) for signal strength have a percentage or db
2. Lights out on lid close
3. Blinking light, (prehaps faster the closer you get to the selected ap?)
4. Possibility of moving the AP information to the top screen (using select?)
5. A count of WEPon vs. WEPoff AP's. e.g. 26/100 AP's WEPon

Keep up the good work.
This is sure better than MK wardriving (well walking).
I just leave it in my bag scanning for AP's around school.

It doesnt work withe the m3 (and no doubt the g6 either)
have you set the power control register?
the line
powerON(POWER_ALL);
should do it this is required for the m3/g6 but not for others it seems

I got this now working on my m3 but I wonder if it can detect Nintendo Wifi connector because it doesnt seems that shows up on the wardriving thing. And is the Keyboard test made for sending textmessage to wirlessdevice cause I can´t get it work. I think you need to fix the keyboard a bit cause you never write the letter you pushing.

It works great with my GBAMP! I don't have an AP myself but I spotted 5 AP's while walking around in my flat. Wow Never guessed here would be so many.

Some feedback:

* Wardriving detects WEPon and WEPoff but when an AP has WEPoff it can have WPA. Is is possible to implement something like noSECURITY|WEPon|WPAon?
* Current version has a limit to 4096 WIFI devices. Has anyone actually detected more then 512 devices?

Keep up the good work! I wish I had more spare time.

If you go to like E3 or something you might hit the limit.

all versions freeze in Supercard..

Dudu.exe,

Apply the loader. Noe of them work for me without the loader but do with it on my supercard SD.

Damned Dlink g604t doesn't work with this OR mkds
Stupid Dlink!

Keep up the good work Stephen

Largepig: The UK, US and EUR firmware is rubbish.
If you want wifi that badly grab the austrailian ADSL2+ firmware.
It works great!

Okay, this is probably a very stupid question, but where can I download a.ds.gba version?

Are there any program that can convert it?
All I've found is a program that removes the headerthingamado (or something like that ^^).

Yeah, I'd seen the post but am anxious to go for the Australian firmware. I had enough fun getting the bugger to work with Ukonline with the UK firware! Just have to wait i guess.
