KisMAC For Macbook Pro
Posted 1st February, 2007 in by Sam
Thanks to Steve, who pointed me to this article detailing how to build your own version of KisMAC that will work with your airport extreme card.
I have built a version of KisMAC that should work great (yes, in passive mode) on all Macbook Pros with a core duo processor. This probably won't work as well with a core 2 duo, but you're welcome to try.
KisMAC is a wireless networking security tool for Mac OS X. It is a port of the popular Linux software Kismet.

But there is one thing that I will no longer hold against my notebook because now it can actually run KisMAC. Before this, my only feasible option for packet sniffing was to run Knoppix STD on my old Dell laptop that didn’t even have a functioning battery. Now my options have increased since someone took the time to get KisMAC to work with the AirportExtreme card in macbooks. If you’ve read this far I’m assuming your’re interested… here it is. (via) [...]

Thanks so much - I just bought a 17" MacBook Pro and until now I have been unable to use KisMac.
So far it appears to be working although I have yet to capture enough packets to try crack my own network but I'm definitely doing better than I was ;-)
Thanks

Hi, I downloaded KisMAC that you've built. I run it on a MacBook Pro Core2Duo. Unfortunatly I can only sniff networks but can't perform any attack… Does anyone manage to make it work ?
