Customizing Your Airmagnet View (by Tony Fortunato)

When I get asked, "whats your favorite tool"? My immediate response is always, "the one that I can customize".

No, thats not a consultant's standard answer looking to confuse or be too generic.  I really mean it.  I always look for tools that allow you customize the interface, reports, and basically anything to make my job easier.

The simplest example of this is would be a simple a capture or display filter with any protocol analyzer.  I always evalaute how easy it was to create the filter, save the filter and retrieve this filter at a later date.  I once used a protocol analyzer that required 4-6 steps to simply create a disply filter and another 4 steps to apply it.  No thanks, I've got better things to do than practice my mousing skills.

In this video, I show how I customize a View from Fluke Networks AirMagnet Spectrum XT analyzer.

Enjoy
