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.

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.
Download and install APlogger:
- Available via Installer in the "Network" category from
ModMyiFone - http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml.
OR (probably more up-to-date)
- Download
APlogger.zip -
v1.0.5,
released 10th January 2008.
MD5: 5da7ed93831a19fa021d190035ce305c
Expand the zip file and then copy (recursively) the whole
APlogger.app directory to your iPhone's application directory -
typically to /Applications or /var/root/Applications.
Ensure that the binary, itself, remains executable
(use chmod 755 /Applications/APlogger.app/APlogger
if necessary).
Download the source code:
APlogger is released under GPL v3.0.

A sample logfile:
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,
time (seconds since Jan 1st 1970),
SSID (AP name),
BSSID (MAC address),
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.
