MoocherHunter™ is a free mobile tracking software tool for the real-time on-the-fly geo-location of wireless moochers, hackers and users of wireless networks for objectionable purposes (e.g. paedophile activity, illegal file downloading, illegal music/video sharing, etc). (for MoocherHunter™ Law Enforcement Edition, please see below) YouTube VideoWatch this video on YouTube. 100% Made-In-Singapore with ThinkSECURE-proprietary code, MoocherHunter™ was first unveiled to Southeast-Asian law enforcement officials at the Singapore Police Force's invitation-only CyberCrime Investigation Workshop 2008 held in Singapore in April 2008. MoocherHunter™ is licensed under the MoocherHunter™License as part of the OSWA-Assistant™ wireless auditing LiveCD toolkit (note: only on version 0.9.0.3b and above) which is free for end-user download at http://oswa-assistant.securitystartshere.org. MoocherHunter™ identifies the location of an 802.11-based wireless moocher or hacker by the traffic they send across the network. If they want to mooch from you or use your wireless network for illegal purposes (e.g. warez downloading or illegal filesharing), then they have no choice but to reveal themselves by sending traffic across in order to accomplish their objectives. MoocherHunter™ enables the owner of the wireless network to detect traffic from this unauthorized wireless client (using either MoocherHunter™'s Passive or Active mode) and enables the owner, armed with a laptop and directional antenna, to isolate and track down the source. Because it is not based on fixed or statically-positioned hardware, MoocherHunter™ allows the user to move freely and walk towards the actual geographical location of the moocher/hacker. And of course, as part of the free OSWA-Assistant™ wireless auditing LiveCD toolkit, MoocherHunter™ is also FREE for end-users to use on their existing laptops (so long as it is only run within the OSWA-Assistant™ environment) with off-the-shelf supported wireless cards. In residential and commercial multi-tenant building field trials held in Singapore in March 2008, MoocherHunter™ allowed a single trained operator to geo-locate a wireless moocher with a geographical positional accuracy of as little as 2 meters within an average of 30 minutes.
