This is a good sign, just got some chinese food.  Heres what my fortune cookie said:

[Apetrick]

That is a very good sign

[LankAsif]

Ummmmmm, how does a concept from California, representing an Asian society, written in English represent straight forward progress?
;p
Boo is the good sign, not the cultural origami. Lol

Good luck!

Here is the cli-stumbler download

if anyone wants it,  just finds nearby networks.  It should find more than the settings.app though.

Good work! After some testing I realized that this picks up on APs with SSID broadcast disabled, just gives you the Mac address but a step in the right direction.

[C0deH4cker]

What is it that you wish to accomplish with this? From what I can tell, this only picks up wifi routers, not devices.

[BooCocky]

Thats all I need it to pick up.  Except bruteforce ones that require a password.  Its similar code the Settings.app uses to find networks and connect to them.  So do that a whole bunch of times on a specific router with a dictionary of passowrds and see if it gets a connection.

The file goes into /usr/bin correct? Don't wanna put it in the wrong directory lol. You should seriously put this on the repo.

[BooCocky]

Yea /usr/bin is fine.  Not really production quality yet.  C0deh4cker showed me some modifications that he did.  Still have to get it to connect to the network (which isnt that hard to do).   

   Eventually a set of tools that work with the wirless card,  and a python wrapper around Apple80211 so code can be written with python by anyone will be made.  Also id love to port airport to iOS using what Ive found so far enabling monitor mode.   

This is why aircrack is for linux.  You can still capture packets in monitor mode in OSX but you use airport.  So capturing packets on OSX does not use linux wireless-tools, which is configured automatically by airmon-ng and airodump-ng.  Instead uses Apple80211 frameworks and hermes chip to capture packets, so you have to capture a different way but can still use aircrack-ng to crack the ivs file.

Alright, I'll put it in that directory. This project looks like it's really going somewhere Boo, if you achieve Monitor Mode, I can guarantee you'll be famous

[A12danrulz]

This isn't even closely related to monitor mode...

[C0deH4cker]

Yeah it is. It is like a pseudo-monitor mode (from what boo's said).

[A12danrulz]

It's just using apple's built in functions in the wireless headers to detect and connect to an access point. These features are provided by any wireless card for it to be considered 'wireless' lol. These functions just capture Beacon frames and are able to send Authentication frames. All wireless cards are able to listen to these packets, you just rarely work with it's abilities. Monitor mode just extends that to capture the encrypted data being sent over other APs, or the unencrypted packets of an open AP that you are not associated to. But I can understand it being confused as monitor lol. I had that thought at first lol.

Edit: I just saw you said pseudo lol. I guess it depends on what you mean by pseudo. All this does is basically what the settings app does, but we can script this and interact with it instead of merely recording the output. And at this point I'm rambling lol sorry, I'm just bored out of my skull ATM lol.

I thought it was a rant too lol. But I can see what you mean.
