In an attempt to investigate the wlan in terms of pen-testing, i am wondering what is the best antenna one would need and the best (in >terms
of wireless pen testing needs) wireless card around? Antenna As far as types go, you'll probably want dipole and yagi. Also look beyond the reported gain on an antenna and look at the type of cable and connectors because, if poorly shielded, they'll introduce _lots_ of loss. Also look at the radiation patterns to make sure it's adequate for your situation. Cards I like the Senao (EnGenius in USA) cards as they've been the most powerful I've come across (200mW output power for my 802.11b card). As far as chipsets are concerned, Prism2/Prism54 and Atheros are probably your best bets (Cisco Aironet is popular also). I'd definitely avoid Broadcom chipsets.
