    does anyone know of a good wireless 902.11x manager for a pda/pocketpc? or else a wep encryption cracker/tester for said o/s? I use it for evaluating the security of the wlans I install, of course ;)

    Not sure if its what youre after but MiniStumbler and WiFiFoFum will detect any wireless networks within range and give you detials as far as ssid and if they have any encryption tunrned on or not. I dont think that they actually let you connect to the networks that they find as you'd ahve to use the built in application for that, but they do tell you whats around.
    You wont be able to find anything for cracking the networks for a pocket pc though, as it would require a bit more processing power than they have, and would probably take longer than the battery would last also before you could catch enough packets.

    Other then the built in 802.11x support I havent seen a seperate app for it. As for a WEP cracker I havent seen a PDA one. Considering you need about a gig of data to cracka vunerable WEP implmentation it may not be possible/practicale on a PDA.
