No man, a sniffer can help you detect networks you can't normally see or help you gather packets for decryption later on. IMO you want to crack a wep key or wpa/wpa2 or even get more info on the subject you should go to google and type "howto crack wep/wpa". I gave someone a brief recap on cracking wep when they said the same thing about "drivers doing the cracking". There is no software available for ppc that will crack wep, and if you actually think about it ... how would carrying your ppc out with you, grabbing even all the IVS you would need to crack a wep, running home to decrypt them and then running back out to use the AP going to do any good at all? I think that being able to capture packets with our devices is something we should be able to do with the correct drivers given the hardware and being able to set my card into monitor would be pretty handy at times, which we should also be able to do given the hardware in our devices.
EDIT: Maybe a little clearer explanation. If you want to crack wep go to ****ing google. If you want to know about drivers for your ppc that support the best range of functions I would assume that you would look here/xda/google for the info. The reason I ask "does anyone know of a device driver that supports this app(airscanner sniffer)" is that the way the driver controls the card for those apps is slightly differnt than the way our current drivers control our hardware. Maybe using the app as example made things more confusing when it should have just cleared up everything right away "ohh, he's looking for drivers that support monitor mode" instead of "gtfo out hacker, we don't crack intarwebz around here LOL!!!~1"
THIS ISN'T A WEP CRACKING FORUM OR A WEP CRACKING THREAD. PLEASE STOP TRYING TO HIJACK MY ****/GO USE GOOGLE! This is a forum/thread for information on available device drivers and their support for commonly used functions.
