siftyy Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I know lots of you use Alfa wifi cards, but why? Is there any advantage to using them instead of the build in ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Many reason to use them. They support monitor mode/Packet Injection. Better range/ability to change the antenna. These are just some reasons in which I use my alfa in combination with the one in my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Wlan0 for karma, wlan1 for client mode, wlan2 (alpha) for jamming. That's just one scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THCMinister Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Also if you get an N compatible Alfa card, you then can scan/access/pentest/etc. those types of networks, as the pineapple is unable to do so with the built in radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabasoya Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Wlan0 for karma, wlan1 for client mode, wlan2 (alpha) for jamming. That's just one scenario. This is primarily why I use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I think 95% of people who have a pineapple and an alfa, use it for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
