APlogger
is a native iPhone/iPod Touch application that scans and logs
visible WiFi Access Points (APs).
It is similar, and owes much to, the popular iPhone Stumbler application,
but provides a number of additional features:
- summaries of the most recent scan and all past scans since invocation are
displayed.
- detected APs are logged in a tab-separated logfile for offline analysis.
Logfile names are expanded using strftime().
- the current location may be enumerated and is logged with each AP entry
(sorry, no GPS support yet!).
- one-off scans,
or periodic "auto-scanning" at a chosen rate,
may be requested.
- the detailed view of the most recent scan may be sorted by SSID or RSSI.
- the WiFi interface may be turned on and off with a simple control.

Apple iPhone School.
Testers and suggestions welcome.

NOTE: APlogger is not an application to crack WiFi WEP or WPA passwords,
does not retain or inject any WiFi packets,
and will not be extended to support this.

Here is a typical tab-separated logfile generated while driving near my home.
Lines beginning with a '#' are comments,
the others have fields for
enumerated location,

channel,
RSSI (signal strength),
and any encryption/protection:

Environment:
Compiler: gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5449)
(LLVM build 2.0-svn-iphone-dev-0.3-svn).
Tested on an iPod Touch (v1.1.1)
and an iPhone (v1.1.2).
Changelog:
- v1.0.5, 10th Jan - the auto-scanning setting is now retained
between invocations.
- v1.0.4, 8th Jan - microseconds dropped from times in logfile.
- v1.0.3, 6th Jan - first public release.
Credits:
Thanks to the following people who have (perhaps unknowingly) assisted
with the development of APlogger:
Known bugs:
APlogger is my first Objective-C and iPhone program,
so please bear with me!
-
If APlogger performs a periodic auto-scan
while a lengthy list of APs (more than 25) is being scrolled,
the application has crashed.
Resolved.
