Automate computer settings by network with Net Profiles

Windows only: Freeware application Net Profiles lets you automate tasks—like mapping network drives or switching the default printer—based on the network your computer is currently connected to.

Yesterday when I highlighted proximity- and location-based switching with the Mac-only Home Zone, I lamented that I wasn't able to find a solid freeware tool for Windows that performed similar tasks; although Net Profiles doesn't handle any of the Bluetooth proximity functionality, it looks to work very well with location actions. It can even change your default browser homepage and proxy settings, switch desktop wallpapers, and launch programs. Net Profiles is freeware, Windows only. Thanks Christophe.

Wi-Foo The Hack of foo

Here is the list of tools we commonly use in pentesting wireless networks or just wardriving for fun and no profit. All these tools are covered in the book in sufficient details.
