Press Release Body = Sydney, Australia, May 26th 2006 - PassMarkT Software today
announced the release of WirelessMon 2.0, the long-awaited new version of their
wireless network monitoring software. WirelessMon 2.0 is the ideal tool for
identifying security risks resulting from unsecured wireless servers and for
plotting geographic coverage of wireless networks on a map.

The new map plotting feature enables users to create a WiFi 'coverage map' by
automatically plotting the relative signal strength and number of detected signals
on an imported map. Tracking points may either be entered manually or read directly
from Global Positioning System (GPS) devices.

Further improvements include: Added 'Channel Usage' graph showing potential
interference; Ability for WirelessMon to act as a 'connection manager' allowing
direct connection to an access-point from within the program; a redesigned user
interface; and logs are now saveable in a Microsoft MapPoint compatible format.

A free 30-day trial version of WirelessMon 2.0 may be downloaded from the PassMark
website. Alternatively Users wishing to purchase the 'full' versions will have the
choice of the Standard ($US19.00) or Professional ($US49.00) editions.
