History
iStumbler was originally based on MacStumbler source code.[citation needed] Its early development focused on detection of open wireless (802.11) networks,[citation needed] but more recent versions support the detection of Bluetooth wireless devices and Bonjour network services.[4]
Up to release 99, iStumbler was open-source under a BSD license.[5] It was later changed to nagware, having a pop-up screen every 30 minutes but otherwise being fully functional.[6] Current releases require a payment to use.
The app has been delisted from the Mac App Store by the developers due to it not functioning properly on macOS Monterey and above.[7]
Usage
iStumbler uses the AirPort card built into Macs. It automatically scans for Wi-Fi and WLAN networks,[2] and can also detect Bluetooth, Bonjour, and other AirPort networks.[1] The software shows a graph which displays the network name, the type of security, the vendor, the signal, the channel, and the MAC address of listed networks.[5] A graph showing the history of signal strength can also be displayed.[4] It can be used to join listed AirPort networks without configuration and to join Bluetooth networks as well.[1] It uses GPS data to display the coordinates of the computer being used and nearby Wi-Fi points.[6]
iStumbler works by sending out probe requests to all available access points and displaying the information received from those requests.[1]
