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?

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.

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

iStumbler is the leading wireless discovery tool for Mac OS X, providing plugins for finding AirPort networks, Bluetooth devices, Bonjour services and Location information with your Mac.
