Michael, Thanks for the feedback, ideally its for playing around with the tech in my home lab and learning it.
Once I get an idea of a few things I want to develop a plan for my job's network. We recently deployed 2 Cisco wifi controllers, and a bunch (can't remember actually number) of AP throughout our four locations, I want to see what type of attacks we are open too! ------Original Message------ From: Michael Douglas To: PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List Cc: [email protected] Sent: Jul 27, 2009 7:21 AM Subject: Re: [Pauldotcom] What's you Wifi Pentesting Gear? If you don't mind sharing (or you're able to do so) could you let us know what you're trying to accomplish? Different WiFi tools are needed for different things. For instance, at the Pen Test Summit in June, Josh Wright made mention of the iPhone using WiFi-Fo-Fum in an area with too many signals. Since the iPhone has a weaker detection than most pro gear (stuff with Real Antennas) the limited range actually helped him narrow down the signals much faster than it might have otherwise taken. --- For the low cost, I'm still loving my Hawking USB WiFis. The hawking G that I bought on John's suggestion is probably the best thing tech-wise I've bought in a long time. It just works. And by works I mean it is amaz-wait for it-ing. The drivers seem to be available for every OS and the fact that the pigtail is just there, makes it a great entry level card. (NOTE THIS DOESN'T DO N I DO NOT USE FOR REAL AUDITS -- but it's still damn handy) http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=hawking+usb+wireless+g&cid=4227856102301885371&sa=title#p I have played with a 1 watt omni directional antenna and wowzers is it fun... but you're gonna have so many SSIDs that you won't know what to do with them. ;-) But for war driving, or doing preliminary work, it's something to consider.
