Wireless Network Watcher 1.85

Shows who is connected to your wireless network

Wireless Network Watcher is a lightweight Windows application designed to display all connected computers to yourwireless network, along with detailed information about each of them.

Although it may sound a bit like a task addressed to more experienced users, Wireless Network Watcher makes everything pretty easy to use, mostly thanks to the interface.

In fact, that's also the sole purpose of the application: show this kind of information and nothing more.

The main window is the one that makes it possible, as it shows the IP address, device name, MAC address, network adapter company, device information, user text, first detected on time and detection count.

Furthermore, you can configure the format of the displayed MAC address, perform background scanning, place an icon in the Windows System Tray for instant access and beep as soon as a new computer is detected.

What's more, Wireless Network Watcher gives users the option to select the network adapter they wish to use, just in case there are multiple such hardware devices on your computer, but also the IP address range to be scanned.

Last but not least, the application has been developed to allow you to export the list of connected devices to multiple formats, including HTML, XML, CSV or text file.

Wireless Network Watcher doesn't stress up the CPU and RAM and works smoothly on all Windows versions, without slowing down the computer in any way.

All in all, this lightweight freebie does its job pretty fast and although it's supposed to run all the time and keep you up to date with the new computers in your network, it always remains friendly with hardware resources.

Wireless Network Watcher is a small and useful program that can scan your wireless network and show the list of all the computers and devices that are currently connected to your network.

For every computer or device that is connected to your network, the following information is displayed: IP address, MAC address, the company that manufacturedthe network card, and optionally the computer name.

You can also export the connected devices list into HTML / XML / CSV / text file, or copy the list to the clipboard and then paste it into Excel or another spreadsheet app.

What's New in This Release:

· Added /cfg command-line option, which instructs Wireless Network Watcher to use a config file in another location instead if the default config file, for example: WNetWatcher.exe /cfg "%AppData%\WNetWatcher.cfg"

WirelessNetView 1.67

Monitor the activity of wireless networks around you.

WirelessNetView is a small utility that runs in the background and monitors the activity of wireless networks around you.

For each detected network, WirelessNetView will display the following information: Last Signal Quality, Average Signal Quality, Authentication Algorithm, SSID, Detection Counter, Cipher Algorithm and much more.

In order to start using WirelessNetView, simply run the executable file. After running it, the main window displays the list of all wireless networks detected on your area. The list is automatically updated every 10 seconds, so you can see the changes in networks signal. Also, if new wireless networks are detected, they'll be added to the list.

Note:
Some antivirus and antispyware programs may flag WirelessNetView as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous ( inoffensive ) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.]

Requirements:

· Wireless network adapter.
· Windows Vista or Windows XP/SP2 with KB918997 update installed

What's New in This Release:

· Added 'Auto Size Columns+Headers' option, which allows you to automatically resize the columns according to the row values and column headers.
· Fixed bug: WirelessNetView failed to load the external MAC addresses file (oui.txt) when every line has 2 leading space characters.

FoxyProxy 4.5.5

Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird extension that enables advanced users to define andmanage multiple proxies for arbitrary URLs

FoxyProxy is a Firefox extension that allows users to define and manage multiple proxies for individual URLs.

It comes packed with an extensive set of configuration parameters that mainly cater to power users, and it is also supported by SeaMonkey and Thunderbird.

Once installed, FoxyProxy creates an icon between the address bar and search engine bar in Firefox, that you can click to bring up the configuration dialog dedicated to proxies, proxy and pattern subscriptions, global settings, quickly and automatically adding proxies, and logging.

When adding a new proxy to the list, you can select direct Internet connection, manual, system or automatic proxy configuration. A list with URL patterns can be populated as well, and it is possible to create a whitelist or blacklist, as well as add wildcards or regular expressions.

If you want to insert a new proxy subscription, all you have to do is set a name, description, URL, refresh rate, format (IP address:Port), proxy time, and obfuscation. Similar rules apply to each new pattern subscription you submit.

In addition, you can enable "QuickAdd" to create a dynamic URL pattern to a proxy when triggering a hotkey, as well as specify a pattern to identify blocked websites via "AutoAdd". All activity is recorded to a log. These are just some of the options provided by FoxyProxy.

The add-on does not burden Firefox's performance, as we haven't come across any issues throughout our evaluation. Unfortunately, it is not intuitive for less experienced users. If you prefer other web browsers, you can check out FoxyProxy for Chrome or Internet Explorer.

FoxyProxy is a Firefox extension that comes as an advanced proxy management tool.

FoxyProxy offers more features than SwitchProxy, ProxyButton, QuickProxy, xyzproxy, ProxyTex, TorButton, etc.

Here are some key features of "FoxyProxy":

• Define which proxy to use (or none!) for arbitrary URLs using wildcards, regular expression and other conveniences
• Define multiple proxies
• No more wondering whether a URL loaded through a proxy or not: FoxyProxy includes an optional log of all URLs loaded, including which proxy was used (if any), which pattern was matched, timestamps, etc.
• Temporarily or permanently disable a proxy with the click of a button
• Out-of-the-box support for Tor - zero configuration
• Optional status bar information about which proxy is currently in use
• Full Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) support
• Unobtrusive presence, stable execution, premier support

Requirements:

• SeaMonkey 2.0a and later
• Thunderbird 3.0a1pre and later
• Firefox 3.1b3 and later

What's New in This Release:  

• Fixed exception when clearing the cache due to missing "security.enable_ssl3" and removed logout() (in nsIDOMCrypto)
• QuickAdd and AutoAdd patterns are properly converted to Regular Expressions if the user selected that format
• Updated copyright date

WirelessMon 4.0 Build 1008

Detect, monitor & map (incl. GPS) wireless networks (WiFi) including channels.

WirelessMon is an intuitive software that can be used to detect Access Points (AP) on any wireless network within range, and to monitor them. The program provides substantial information regarding each SSID it locates including whether the AP is secure (or not) and its availability for use. A live 'channel usage' chart provides information on the level of traffic for each available channel.

This information will assist network managers by indicating channels that could be used to reduce interference and improve throughput. Users of the Professional Edition will have the additional bonus of being able to generate 'coverage maps' based upon the signal strength of all detected APs.

To use this function, users need to import a map created by an another application (e.g. scanning). Once the map is loaded, users can either plot points manually on the map, or use a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. If done manually, the user selects a point on the map and the program automatically stores information on every AP it can detect there.

GPS users need to establish two reference points, then they can leave it to the program to detect their location on the map and store the AP information for each point. Network managers, laptop users and wardrivers will all find WirelessMon to be the perfect tool for their wireless network requirements.

Here are some key features of "WirelessMon":

· Verify 802.11 network configuration is correct.
· Test WiFi hardware and device drivers are functioning correctly.
· Check signal levels from your local WiFi network and nearby networks.
· Help locate sources of interference to your network.
· WirelessMon supports the MetaGeek Wi-Spy (2.4i, 2.4x and DBx) useful for finding interference from non 802.11A/B/G/N devices transmitting on the same frequencies
· Scan for hot spots in your local area (wardriving)
· Create signal strength maps of an area (also known as heat maps)
· GPS support for logging and mapping signal strength
· Mapping can be performed with or without a GPS unit
· Correctly locate your wireless antenna (especially important for directional antennas).
· Verify the security settings for local access points.
· Measure network speed & throughput and view available data rates.
· Help check Wifi network coverage and range
· A feature-rich, value-for-money alternative to NetStumbler.

Requirements:

· 64 MB RAM
· 15 MB of disk space
· Compatible 802.11 wireless adapter(s).

Limitations:

· 30 days trial period
· Nag screen

What's New in This Release: 

· Added support for the newest version of the MetaGeek Wi-Spy DBx
· Added support for connecting to hidden networks when SSID is known
· Added support for sending security passphrase from WirelessMon during the connection process in Vista/7/8 rather than requiring windows to display the key entry dialog in the system tray.
· Fixed a bug that was preventing connection to access points when specifying a MAC address
· Changed behaviour where if an access point was set to use WEP/WEP64 WirelessMon was displaying WEP-104/WEP128. This is due to observed behaviour in Windows Vista/7 that only WEP (key of any length length) is reported by Windows (not WEP-40 or WEP-104) no matter what WEP setting is used in the router. Now WirelessMon will only display "WEP" unless extra information is available.

RouterPassView 1.55

RouterPassView is a lightweight and portable application that recovers lost passwords to router configuration files, as long as there are backups stored on the computer.

Since installation is not a requirement, you can just drop the executable file somewhere on the hard disk and click it to run.

It is also possible to run it on any workstation directly from a USB flash disk or similar storage unit.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get entry updates, and files are not kept on the hard drive after removing the utility.

The interface is represented by a standard window with a plain and simple layout, where you can open the router configuration file using the file browser or drag-and-drop support. The list shows the item type, password, user name, and server.

It is also possible to grab passwords from Internet Explorer windows, open the router web interface, use a search function when dealing with large amounts of data, copy all items or only selected ones to the Clipboard, as well as toggle between table and text mode (ASCII or hexadecimal).

The simple-to-use application is very light on the system resources, running on low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and retrieves passwords rapidly. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the app did not hang or crash. Thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, RouterPassView should please all users.
