I’m in Baltimore this week teaching Ethical Hacking Wireless. We’re having a lot of fun, and since we’re in Baltimore, it’s a good opportunity to spend some time with WiMAX and the Clear (Sprint) network here.
I stopped off at Best Buy a few hours ago and picked up a Motorola WiMAX Clear modem (CPEi 725) for US$90. A little while later, I whipped up a tool to use it for scanning WiMAX networks in the area, shown below.
