I have used Linux in the past for my Wifi pen testing, though that was some time ago and I haven't had a need to do it in some time. I'm now using a Mac running Snow Leopard (Mac Mini) and I'd like to have a go at testing my networks.

Anyone know the best way about doing this on a Mac?

Thanks

Could you clarify? You want a Mac program that works like a Wifi Pen? – Josh Aug 2 '10 at 1:10

I don't have a Mac, but iStumbler looks pretty good.

I would find a pen testing Linux distribution like Backtrack. IMO, if you're pen testing, you should probably use the same guns with the same caliber that the baddies use.

You can run LiveCDs on an Apple Macintosh Computer. – crazysim Oct 5 '10 at 1:29
