The title says it all.
I left my Macbook in the passenger seat on the way to work one day, leaving Kismac running...
What I wanted to know was how many unsecured WAPs I crossed on my way to work. I no longer have the gathered data but I was shocked...approximately 20% of the observed WAPs were not secure at all.
I'd like to be able to do this again, leveraging my iPad. I'm currently looking for something similar to Kismac (or Kismac itself) for the iPad.
[Edit: found something here...not particularly good news but it is understandable.]

New Software Added - 3/28/2010
Added KisMac to my Macbook.
This software is NICE!! I've used Kismet before (on a Sharp Zaurus SL5500), but the Mac version is VERY nice!
One disturbing thing (that I should put on my security blog) is that I saw a lot of WAPs in my neighborhood still using WEP. Three of them were Actiontec routers, which show the new rollout of FIOS from Verizon. Mine also shows up, but mine is set to use WPA2. There were maybe 5-6 WAPs using WPA (of maybe 10-12), but I was the ONLY one that I detected that was using WPA2. That's not good, IMO.
I may take a drive around tomorrow to sample the neighborhood. I'll parse that data and post it on my security blog.
