Hi again all!
Just a quick request for the new Google Earth/.kismac server: if
anyone out there has a bunch of networks squirreled away in KisMAC
save files, please feel free to upload them! The server's file
upload facility can now handle files up to 2Mb (or about 14000
networks), and can also handle Netstumbler text files (either
"text" or "wi-scan" formats if you're using Netstumbler...
although .kismac webservice files are much preferable, so we can
see things like WPA and LEAP). There may be an opportunity coming
up for wider visibility for this server (and in turn for KisMAC),
but I'd like to be sure it will handle the load with a bunch more
networks in the database.
So, if you're willing to share some of your collection - all of it
would be wonderful! - please surf on over to http://
www.robin.darroch.id.au/kismac/upload.html
Incidentally, a good technique for combining lots of separate
KisMAC save files is to go to "File -> Import -> (data from) KisMAC
file", then command-click or shift-click to select multiple files
in the File Open dialog box. KisMAC will import all selected files
sequentially, then when it's done, Export it all to one .kismac
webservice file. Just try and keep it below 14000 networks in any
one file. :)
Many thanks!
Robin
P.S. The aim of this server is not to replace the existing .kismac
server - eventually I would like to see this running as an
additional service on the actual .kismac server - but for now,
let's get this stocked up and well tested so that we can spread the
word!
