Hi Brad, It was an eBay auction in Germany from a commercial dealer. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem <http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320352932375&ssPageName=A DME:B:EF:DE:1123> &item=320352932375&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:DE:1123 Is it a problem to get in the US?

Without "n". It's a pretty decent card but was somewhat expensive that time. http://www.air-stream.org.au/src 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. http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=195 <http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=195&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=48> &pl1_id=1&pl2_id=48 - Logilink WL0025 USB 802.11a/b/g with external anntenna. Very cheap and works with injections http://www.logilink.eu/cmsfiles/modules/i-sell2u/showproducts.htm?isu_suchbe 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 http://hackedgadgets.com/2008/04/25/the-wifi-predator-use-a-far-away-wifi-co 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.

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. - Mick On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 8:21 AM, <infolookup at gmail.com> wrote:
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!

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

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.
