TYTechnolust Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Greetings If you were going to purchase 2 ALFA network adapters from Amazon this week, which two would you buy and why? I plan on using them with Kali and the wifi pineapple (MarkV). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would go for the alfa awus036nha as its supported natively on the Pineapple and virtually all Linux distributions. Best regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Buy them via dx.com as it might take a week or two before you get it, but it'll be significantly cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spazi Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I own AWUS036NHA and the AWUS036H. Both cards are supported by most linux distributions, both support monitor and packet injection.The usual stuff :)Best WiFi network adapters there is really.I can recommend buying the AWUS036NHA as pointed out by Seb.I supports b/g/n and it's a tiny bit faster than AWUS036H.

Sitwon Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 AWUS036H has a Realtek chip that supports b/g using the rtl8187 driver in Linux. AWUS036NH has a Ralink chip that supports b/g/n using the rt2800usb driver in Linux. AWUS036NHA has an Atheros chip that supports b/g/n using the ath9k_htc driver in Linux. I've tested each of these for Project Byzantium. All three are fully supported in Linux including IBSS. Personally, I prefer the Atheros drivers so I'd go with the AWUS036NHA as Sebkinne suggested.It's a bit more expensive, but I also really like the Ubiquiti SR71-USB, which supports b/g using the carl9170 driver (Atheros). High power and two antennas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYTechnolust Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions everyone. All were helpful! I'll look out for the AWUS036NHA as it seems the favored based upon the needs. On Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036NHA-Wireless-Adaptor-Compatible/dp/B004Y6MIXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398829034&sr=8-1&keywords=AWUS036NHA I didn't see it on dx.com Edited April 30, 2014 by TYTechnolust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Buy them via dx.com as it might take a week or two before you get it, but it'll be significantly cheaper. High risk of counterfeit from there. http://www.data-alliance.net/ is what I have used a bit in the past. They are an official distributor of Alfa products in the USA. Decent prices and fast service.
