Chanalyzer 3.3 has been going strong for a year now, and the last update in September fixed the few outstanding bugs that caused crashes. The past few months we've been heads-down on the next version of Chanalyzer, but there were a few features that we wanted to get in the hands of users now so we took a break from working on the next version to work on Chanalyzer 3.4. Here's a quick overview of what's new... let us know what you think!

Thanks to everyone for sending us recordings to check out. As a Wi-Spy owner, you've seen some pretty odd things in the public ISM bands. Doesn't it feel great knowing that you can see what these devices actually look like in the infisible RF space, while so many other people have no idea? Many of you have taken the time to email us a recording of these devices-so I'm sharing some with you right now.

The forum has become popular enough that we've decided it's time to look at a dedicated forum platform. MetaGeek.net uses the Drupal platform and the forum is currently just a Drupal forum, which is adequate, but lacks many of the features of serious forum platforms. After investigating the popular forum platforms out there we have settled on vBulletin.

Looking to outfit your crew? Need packet analysis and spectrum analysis? Why not take advantage of some pretty significant savings when you buy our new Wi-Spy packs or Wi-Spy - AirPcap bundles.

Thanks for attending! We had a great turnout!

Attending WLAN Analysis 101 is a great way to get the ground-up picture of what ails WLANs. Laura starts with some in-depth Wi-Spy and Chanalyzer instruction of how to troubleshoot interference in the physical layer then goes into how to capture and interpret wireless traffic with Wireshark. Always fun — and perhaps a bit devious — Laura is famous for completely thwarting an unsuspecting wireless LAN by jamming it with RF interference during the class.
