What is required to run KisMAC?

KisMAC requires an Apple Macintosh Computer with MacOS X 10.3 or above.

The following wireless cards are supported by KisMAC:

1 Apple's internal AirPort card or Airport Extreme
2 Intersil Prism2-based PCMCIA cards (by the macjack driver)
3 Lucent Orinoco cards (by the macjack driver)
3 Atheros-based PCCard cards
4 Prism2-based USB devices
5 Cisco 11Mbit devices
3 PrismGT-based PCCard cards
All of the cards have basic monitoring capabilities. However external Orinoco cards can also send raw management frames. Prism2 cards are able to send raw data frames as well. Airport Extreme cards are now supported in passive mode.

We recommend the use of an external antenna, this will allow the capture of packets in a wider area. If you have a TiBook you might want to check out Ulfs MacTail page.

In order to find certain networks again, KisMAC offers support for NMEA-compatible GPS devices. These devices need to be supported by MacOS X.
