What's cool once you get into an executable, you can convert it into a ton of different things. You can convert it into Visual Basic, you can convert it just about anything. Uh, but this basically does a wireless site survey of the attacker's computer. So, if they're trying to offiscate their IP address, it'll geollocate them with their wireless with netsh um netshwan show networks mode equals BSSID. You can submit that to Google and Google will tell you here's where that system is based on the access points nearby and compile it and then the results are like hyper hyper accurate. Uh this one nailed it within 77 meters of where it was. So it's really cool.
