A very simple wireless packet sniffer. I wrote it as a code sample for a job talk. At the time, I was playing with Onavo, an iPhone app that compresses data on your iPhone to minimize data plan usage. I was quite shocked that my iPhone was beaconing the SSID 'onavo-disabled.' As a result, I removed the app. Pretty creepy that an app can cause your iPhone to beacon.
