bingieman Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Hey all, I am a noob just getting started with pentesting and would like to ask for some advice. I have a MacBook pro retina and have installed vm ware fusion on it. I have Kali 2.0 running on this and would like to have the wlan0 thing for wifi hacking. I know you need an external USB adapter for this but am not sure which to go for and which works the best? I would like to find an adapter that would run reliably on my system. What would you guys suggest? Quote
Rhiza Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I believe the Alfa wifi cards should do the trick. A popular model for pentesting is the Alfa AWUS036NHA and can be bought on Ebay or Amazon and the likes. It's all about what chipset the wifi cards use. Stay away from Broadcom chipsets and stick to Realtek and Atheros Wifi chipsets. Quote
Rhiza Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Just did a quick readup. Installing the Alfa cards on OSX is a bit of a hassle, but it works on 32bit Macbooks.So do a readup on which model you like and find a tutorial how to install the driver. Quote
Rhiza Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Or this one from Hak5's hakshop. it's got mac drivers :)http://hakshop.myshopify.com/collections/wireless-gear/products/alfa-usb-wifi-awus036neh Quote
bingieman Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 is the one from the hak5 shop reliable? i read into it but could not find any information about it. if you have used it or could find someone who has used can you let me know if it work with vmware fusion 8 right out of the box?
