Why you should take MeerCAT for a spin
MeerCAT (Mobile Cyber Asset Tracks) is a visual analytics tool that helps users locate authorized, unauthorized, and unsecure wireless devices, and assess the wireless security risks to their organization. Many organizations that are unaware of the risks from/to wireless networks have an eye-opening experience by using MeercAT in conjunction with wireless data. It can be data you have collected by wardriving your organization’s campus, or data supplied with our demo.  |
How can I request a trial copy of MeerCAT?
Requests for a trial copy of MeerCAT can be made by contacting us at 631-754-4920 or by sending a message through our contact page. Please provide your full name, organization, organization email address and phone number. Typically we will provide evaluators with a CD or a private download area.
Are there any limitations in the trial copy?
A private download location or CD will be provided. Separately, a license key file will be delivered by email which unlocks MeerCAT for you to evaluate. The trial copy is good for 30 days.
Need more background information?
MeerCAT can be valuable to users with different levels of experience. If you're new to the field, or if wireless protection is just one of many other duties you have, consider reviewing the concept of a wardrive. Check out Kismet, free packet-sniffing software that passively detects wireless access points and wireless clients. MeerCAT ingests Kismet data. Some also find the Linux security distribution BackTrack helpful; this web site offers additional FAQ's, HowTo's, and forums.
