RE: antenna - Re: Wireless pentesting requirements

["Rusty Chiles" <rustychiles () cox net>]

The following vendors all offer a wide variety of wifi antennas that could
be used for pentesting.
They aren't terribly expensive either:

http://www.fab-corp.com
http://www.hyperlinktech.com
http://www.pacwireless.net

If you are doing this professionally pay the extra money. If I paid for a
site survey and a guy with a pringles can or tupperware container showed up
I would be concerned with their testing ability.

good luck,

I use this Tupperware Antenna, Tuper Tenna as it is called, and it is very
useful and gets more dB gain than the pringles.
