tom564 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hello, I would like to be able to capture data on 3 channels simultaneously using 3 separate radios, i have been having problems with the USB devices initializing and staying up which i assume to be a power related issue so my first question is: What would you use to power the cards? and my second question is: How much computational power do i need if it is a fairly busy network (is trying to run it on a raspberry pi unobtainable? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 You probably won't get it to work with a pi. You should be able to do it with a laptop though, as long as it has enough usb ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreidiv Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 you could always try a powered usb hub make sure it does not back feed (if its a power issue and not a cpu issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, can you recommend a specific hub that will not back feed? i did try to cut the red wire but that caused other issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddjflip Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You should be able to do it with a laptop though, as long as it has enough usb ports. agreed i have 3 on the laptop 2x external 1x internal still got space for 1 more external, byt 3 is enough (usually only use the 2 external, as i can attach my 40db antennas to them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anxo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I run pen test gigs from my Mac Pro (i5 8G RAM) and regularly use '3 radios' simultaneously. 1) Mac's built in for nmap scanning, 2)vm-kali-usb wifi radio for aircrack-ng, 3)vm-windoze-pineapple-karma. It does slow things down quite a bit but saves a ton of time when onsite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Just for giggles. My laptop has two internal pci wifi cards, an atheros, and a broadcom. Then I stuck on four usb cards, an alpha clone, and three rtl-somethings, then fired up kismet. Edited April 18, 2014 by barry99705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
