iPod Touch Makes Great WiFi Sniffer

The ability of Apple's best products to make the average consumer's life easier is that company's greatest asset as well as its greatest competitive advantage. So when Apple added Wi-Fi ability to the iPod touch and to the iPhone one of its goals was to make wireless connectivity easy and convenient. The iPod touch does exactly that and some.

While testing out the iPod touch for review (and complaining that I always have to remember it is not iPod Touch with a capital "T", but iPod touch with a small "t" or risk being uncool, I mean kewl...oh jeez) I came to a bit of an epiphany about its Wi-Fi conveniences. It was damn easy. So much so that it makes life easier for people who are more than just tune-toting pedestrians. The iPod touch makes for an ideal tool for information security professionals as well as the crackers and hackers who are looking for a little wireless access.
