Yep I saw this at DefCon! Amazing what you can do with a bit of knowledge and a lot of creativity! And I'm just sitting here trying to figure out my Java homework...

Ha! You have to take Java!

Are you a Computer Science major?

older thread but glad it got bumped up because that's cool. I could think of a few stray cats around my neighborhood that could map out an lot of networks for me :-D

Go hacker cats, gather me dataz!

I think this is kinda stupid to be honest.

Attaching this to a drone that could be flown in an automatic grid pattern over the area... Would be more logical. A cat is unpredictable and would hardly return with a thorough analysis of the area. The only benefit to the cat would be the innocuous manner in which it could move. However I think even Wardriving or Warwalking would provide you with a better analysis over the same time period and wouldn't attract any more attention than the cat.

Sadly, yes, we can't choose. Though I'm not a computer science major, the education system is a bit different in Germany.

I was actually planning to do this with a blimpduino ( little tiny zeppelin with arduino for RC control and what not) even designed it a bit, then realized i had too much time on my hands.
