pulWiFi

There are a lot of different apps on the market that deal with the WiFi connections of your Android mobile devices, but perhaps none are as innovative as pulWiFi when it comes to auditing and assessing the overall security of your WiFi network.

An Insider's Review of pulWiFi for Android

It's not a popular thing to say, but most WiFi users are pretty stingy. When they're out and about, for instance, and don't have their personal WiFi, they'll quickly be looking for someone else's WiFi that isn't encrypted. However, when that individual sets up their own WiFi network, it's usually protected by a password and they won't allow anyone else in. It's just one of those ways in which the world operates. So if you're really concerned about password protecting your connection, you may want an app like pulWiFi to assist you. The way this app works is simple. After you download it, you can simply choose to scan connections. It will give you a readout of your connection and tell you how secure it is. In addition, it will also find other available networks and tell you how good their security is.

In theory, this can be used by users without a WiFi connection to find and exploit the most vulnerable WiFi connections. We do not recommend using the app this way, but it is one of the ways it can work. Overall, it should be used to help you create a tighter, more secure personal network, not to get into other people's weaker networks.
