INTRODUCTION
YellowjacketPLUS™ is an 802.11b analysis system consisting
of an HP iPAQ PocketPC® coupled with custom hardware and
software by BVS. This system contains a variety of features to
analyze 802.11b networks including spectrum analysis over all
14 channels (2.401 – 2.495 GHz), a list of AP’s and/or stations
over all 14 channels, multi-path and packet-error rate informa-
tion for each individual MAC address. The YellowjacketPLUS
also contains a “Geiger-counter” feature to locate a single AP/
STAtion via audio/visual aids and a security feature to warn
the user of possible unauthorized AP/ STAtions in the area
based on a list of authorized MAC addresses. The data from
a YellowjacketPLUS may be logged into resident memory for
transfer to a desktop PC at a later time and then be converted
from binary to ASCII using “Chameleon WLAN”.
