- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14yea! Stupid, fly by night blog I've never heard of... "HACK a day?!" wtf is that?!?
/sarcasam - EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8***** Awesome, period.
- SmoothieD, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Lame imitation. This was done years ago with Lego by this dude.........
http://www3.sympatico.ca/dugtan/lego/duggan_lego.html - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm most impressed with the software... a larger antenna on your rooftop with this software could be very useful.
- FTLJohnson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This comment should not be dugg down... He has a valid point, however it is wrong... What is COOL about this comment is that it makes this project EVEN more accessable...
The difference is that the LEGO stuff is just for remote controlling the aiming of the cantenna.... the software written in THIS hackaday, is built to AUTOMATICALLY zoom in on a signal...
Somebody needs to combine these two projects...and then any joeschmoe could put one of these together in 5 minutes... less soldering and what not involved... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4bring on "smart" wifi networks. Set them to auto rescan upon signal loss etc, its ***** sweet.
All hail to the mighty Chili Cantenna - satansbanjo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Yeah I didn't know anyone seriously used VB anymore. I mean, you wouldn't expect the kind of person who makes computer equipment out of kitchen rubbish to pay for Windows and state-of-the-art development software
Dugg anyway because it is rather cool - urbanRock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Triangulation = 3 points, the two cantennas and the wireless receiver you're trying to find.
- DBCubix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Nice SSID in the picture... YoAdrian haha
- sstidman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2If you had two of these and spaced them a bit apart, could they be used to track the physical location WiFi users? I'm not sure of the benefit of such a thing, but it might be useful in some situations to be able to determine the exact location of a WiFi user. One example that comes to mind might be that someone is trying to hack into your WiFi network and you want to find out where they are.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Ahhh.... a direct link.
- ellisgl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I wouldn't mind seeing the schematics and code....
- satansbanjo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'm not sure if you'd be able to pick up signals from someone who is receiving a wireless signal, but I'm not sure. You could be onto some sort of ultra-budget security thing there
- kuchino, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1looks like a "Death Ray"
- porplem, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Best description ever...
- FrugalFreak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1just where do you get the control program? BTY -hackaday.com has been around awhile. I am gonna build the icee machine SOON!
- inactive, on 05/09/2009, -1/+0maybe you need like three for triangulation?
- josegutz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yeah, I am mounting this one on my van this weekend for sure...
- TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1period. == redundant
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Cool. This is something I've kind of wanted when I'm using my directional (and not a piece of ***** can, I might add) to remember where a certain access point is.
Not cool? Software to run it was written in VB6. Probably easily rewritten for linux/bsd, but wtf? No real wireless dork uses Windows for their proclivities. No monitor mode = WASTE OF TIME. Not only are you sitting somewhere looking like a total weirdo with your pivoting tin can, but you're also broadcasting a zillion HEY EVERYBODY I'M LOOKING FOR ACCESS POINTS WHERE ARE YOUR ACCESS POINTS GIMME YOUR ACCESS POINTS RIGHT HERE probes for some corp's IDS to pick up. - EamonnMurphy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1If only it was USB 2.0!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1No digg, post a link to the ACTUAL CONTENT, not some intermediate blog which only dilutes the real info.
