What is required to run KisMAC? |
KisMAC requires an Apple Macintosh Computer with MacOS X 10.2, because the Aiport driver cannot be disabled in the previous versions.
The following wireless cards are supported by KisMAC:
1 | Apples internal airport card (by the viha driver) |
2 | Intersil Prism2 based PCMCIA cards (by the macjack driver) |
3 | Lucent Orinoco cards (by the macjack driver) |
| All of the cards have basic monitoring capabilities. However external Orinoco cards can also send raw management frames. Prism2 cards are able to send raw data frames as well. Airport Extreme cards are not supported. |
We recommend the use of an external antenna, this will allow the capture of packets in a wider area. If you have a TiBook you might want to check out Ulfs MacTail page.
| In order to find certain networks again, KisMAC offers support for NMEA compatible GPS devices. |
