I'm thinking of getting a Samsung Galaxy S4, Android version that Google recently announced. Do these apps require root or just Vanilla Android?
Some of the tools Larry mentions below do require root access, but others do not. IIRC, Kisbee and Pcap Capture require root access. On an S4, getting root is straightforward without a lot of shenanigans, since it has an unlocked bootloader. Rooting Android is not like jailbreaking iOS - you still preserve Android platform security controls when you root the device. I don't jailbreak my everyday iOS devices, but I am comfortable using my rooted Galaxy S3 with personal data.

I hate to say it, but I think you are correct on the iPhone side, mostly due to the fact that the wireless drivers are "less than open". To my knowledge, monitor mode support does not exist on non-jailbroken iDevices (I'm not sure about jailbroken ones). My solution? Go Android. I picked up a Nexus 7 and use the following tools frequently: Kisbee - Zigbee sniffer (for use with 3rd party hardware) Pcap Capture - Monitor mode WiFi capture with a specific ALFA wireless card and OTG cable WiFiFoFum - Rogue AP locator WiFi Analyzer - Kismet-like wireless discovery WiGLE WiFi Wardriving - Kismet-like wireless discovery Cloudshark - Cloud based wireshark for analyzing pcaps Hope that helps. - L On 5/30/13 9:58 AM, Brian Wilhide wrote:I am curious if anyone has found any good apps for mobile devices for wifi testing? I have been told that all of the iPhone apps don't detect networks with hidden SSIDs; has anyone found any contrary evidence? I am looking for a simple solution, not a dedicated device.
