Hi, I would recommend getting a prism chipset or a Orinoco chipset. I have the SENAO NL-2511CD EXT2 (prism chipset) and a Cisco Aironet 350. Using Kismet and tools for wep cracking work great with my Cisco Aironet 350. However if you want to use a program such as void11 to perform de_authenication and use the HostAP drivers you need to have a prism chipset based card. Prism chipset based cards are an all around great chipset, It works well performing wep and wpa cracking and still has the ability to work with most penetration testing tools. Note : The Senao NL-2511cd does not have a internal antenna. I bought a small MMCX antenna that hooks into it. I also use a 7db and a 14db antenna(yagi) as well. My Senao works great with void 11,wep_crack,kismet,airdump, and other tools on backtrack and auditor. -----Original Message----- From: jpippin [mailto:jpippin () gmail com] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 2:56 AM To: nikhildas () gmail com; pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Wireless Cards for pen testing? Get an Orinoco Gold with the Hermes2 chipset. Then use the Backtrack LiveCD and you're set to pen-test.

Hi, im jus starting out at a security firm and have been put in charge of getting my own kit because the person in charge is on leave. i will be starting out with wired network audits but i have been given a free run of the wireless section too. could u recommend some cards that are supported by all security test software? eg airsnort/kismet? will i need to purchase one of each chipset? ie prism2/atheros. i need windows and linux support. thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- -- This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
