I find the combo of kismac and ethereal (from fink) to be a powerful combination. I use kismac to find stuff and dump it to a file, and ethereal give a half way decent view of the data. Be sure you use a supported card, and if you have airport extreme for full support plug in a prism2/2.5/3 card. ibook and 12" powerbook owners are limited.

The BAWUG meeting is next week (got moved) and I would be happy to do a 15 minute demo. Maybe someone else would like to sign up for a windows demo of raw sniffers and stuff? I do windows too, but as a thinkpad owner most of the cool network tools don't work right...I'll buy beer for anyone that can get winpcap running on the GB Ethernet and the a/b/g wireless card under XP. Please do not respond install linux/freebsd/etc as I can do that just fine myself. :)

Cheers,
Cliff

Kismet will run on OSX and you can feed the dumps to airsnort, either
the raw dump or the weak packets file.

Theres also Kismac, which may do what you want as well.

Anyone know if it's possible? Planned?

I was wondering if there was a way to compile or download a MacOS X
port of AirSnort for my PowerBook G4 (15"; 1 Ghz)? According to its
FAQ, http://airsnort.shmoo.com/faq.html#Q6 says "MacOS, with it's
AirPort cards, probably won't be able to support the low-level packet
capture." It sounds like it doesn't work yet. I even searched for a
Fink package, but it doesn't exist yet.
