What's you Wifi Pentesting Gear?

[nils at hemmann.de (Nils)]

I have the SRC 300 version of this card. Without "n".
It's a pretty decent card but was somewhat expensive that time.

Besides of this I'm using the following Wifi gear:
- Edimax EW-7305Pg  PCMCIA 802.11a/b/g  Pretty cheap Atheros card with no
external antenna connections.

&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=48 
 
- Logilink WL0025 USB 802.11a/b/g with external anntenna. Very cheap and
works with injections

griff=WL0025.htm
 
- Wifi booster 1Watt 2400-2500MHy, Bi-directional,
half-duplex,auto-switching via carrier sensing
 
- An Asus eeePC 901 with an AR5008E-3NX 802.11a/b/g/n wifi card. The card is
an exchange for the originally built in AxureWave crap. The Atheros card
works nicely with injection and Karma patched drivers from Digininja. I
added an external antenna connector simmilar to what Paul did. I used the
Kensington lock hole though.
 
- Four Foneras with SD card and fan mod plus second antenna connectors. 
-- One runnnig with Meltyblood's openWRT version
-- One as Wifi Predator simmilar to

nnection/
 
I'm planning to give Piranha a try: http://piranha.klashed.net/
 
 
The stuff is rounded up with some home made cantennas and other omni
antennas.

Has any one tried this from Ubiquiti. Have their 300mw A/B/G card just
thinking of upgrading?

Looks like it is only a 100mw rating though??

Thanks

 <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124278> Is cheap
considering it can do a/b/g/n over USB and it's linksys

I'd suggest you go the cheap route with the Hawking.  It's good gear
to start working on.  Just remember that you cannot check for the N
WiFi band -- so it should not be used for WiFi site audits.

That is unless you can find a cheap USB wifi card that can do it all
a,b,g,n,etc.  -- if you (anyone else on the list?) do know of one,
please share.  I'd be willing to switch to something more cutting
edge.
