Why each option

StumbVerter is the companion mapping tool for NetStumbler that imports collected NS1 data files and plots discovered WAPs as color-coded icons on street maps.

ANetStumbler

NetStumbler collects and logs WAP data itself but does not include built-in street-map visualization or icon-based plotting capabilities.

BStumbVerterCorrect

StumbVerter reads NetStumbler's proprietary summary files and overlays each detected WAP as an icon on imported street map images, using color and shape to indicate WEP encryption mode and signal strength.

CWEPcrack

WEPcrack is a WEP key cracking tool that exploits RC4 stream cipher weaknesses and does not process NetStumbler data files or render any maps.

DKismet

Kismet is a passive wireless network detector and IDS that operates independently of NetStumbler and cannot consume NS1 files for street-map display.
