You know, sometimes working with Mikrotik wireless devices can bring you to some uncomfortable places...Where carrying and opening your laptop to scan radio signals is the last thing you would do. Now, with TikScan, you can execute your wireless scans directly from your iPhone!
You can also use it to scan radio signals from devices already connected to your base stations: since TikScan creates an SSH session, the device will disconnect for the duration of the scan and then will send you back the results when reconnecting.
Here are the features youll find in TikScan:
- Connect via wifi to a Mikrotik device in your network
- Check wireless interfaces available on the device
- Scan radio signals choosing the wireless interface and the duration of the scan command
- Search the output for the SSIDs you need
- Take pictures directly in the app, without being forced to put it in background to use iPhone camera app
- Prepare a report with the results of your scan and send it to your mail or to your company
- Include in the report GPS Coordinates of your current position or drop a pin on the map: the report will be sent via email with a link that will open Google Maps over the place you specified
WARNING:
- You need a wifi connection to get access to the Mikrotik device (I suggest a portable wifi router with a battery if you want to use TikScan "on the field")
- The app has been tested with RouterOS version 5.25+ . Devices under RouterOS 5.25 are not supported.
- SSH access must be available and activated on the device
- The app reads the SSH output of the command, so you wont be able to see the results in real-time: in the output window you have the possibility to re-launch the scan command just pressing a button. By the way in the output window youll see different results of the same radio signal that anyway will help you understand the variations received
- Commands launched from the app are read-only, by the way you use the app at your own risk. The author of the app is not responsible of problems you could get on your Mikrotik devices
