Download watch: iStumbler update

For the nomads out there, there is a new public version of iStumbler, the open source OS X 802.11a/b/g, bluetooth, and mD stumbler, out this week. iStumbler 94 has improved staus me ages, more readable log formatting, a smaller memory footprint, and, most importantly, a fix for the nasty memory leak in earlier versio when ru ing under Tiger.

iStumbler i 't a hard-core wardriving tool--you'll probably want KisMac, which handles pa ive networks better, for that--but it's a great little tool for checking email from the airport or finding a co ection to blog from the park on a su y afternoon. With its built-in bluetooth stumbler, it should be a convenient way to find open printers around the office, too.
