Speaking of tools (cool tools, that is)... The Student Technology Conferenc=
e has an entire theme dedicated to "Cool Tools!"  Hey, look at that!  If an=
yone has mastered these tools and thinks the rest of us could benefit from =
them, be sure to submit a proposal to present your knowledge at the confere=
nce!  I'd be happy to talk to you about it.

Look forward to more shameless plugs and some pesky metaphors in the near f=
uture.

Subject: Re: Anyone know of a tool that....

Thanks for all the replies.  I probably should have been a bit more accurat=
e in the description of what I'm trying to do.  I am remote to the site in =
question.  So I have to use a tool that scans out over our wan link to the =
desired site and then probes the wireless subnet. So I can't use a wireless=
 scanning solution.  Pity that, because it probably has the best chance of =
doing what I wanted, but possibly not.

Our wireless network is a large flat beast, spread across the whole campus =
consisting of a class B subnet and consisting of around 200 or 220 WAPs.  N=
othing I've tried seems to work.  So far.  I believe someone pointed me to =
a Mac based tool that I haven't tried yet.  We'll have to see.  I searched =
and found someone wrote up a way to get the data from nmap, but it doesn't =
seem to be working for me.

One of my firewalls is constantly reporting half scan attacks from differen=
t IP addresses to the tune of between 10s and hundreds per day.  Seems like=
 when I get a number of these errors, I get the SYN attack warning, and the=
n usually within 10 minutes, I get notification that there is no longer a S=
YN attack occurring.  When I go in manually and look at these addresses, th=
ey have always been iPhones, iPods, iPod touches, etc.  I'd really like a w=
ay to scan a list and compare it when the errors roll in.  I'll update if a=
nything changes.

Thanks.
Chris
