I think this was discussed on the list a while back, that the Atheros firmware prevents the promiscuous mode being used. Can anyone confirm this? Any changes to the policy by the chip manufacturer? --mikael ___ Openmoko community mailing list

I have an atheros chip in my laptop and I can do both modes. If just monitor mode is supported, I can do most of the penetrations/ sniffing anyways. -brandon On May 17, 2008, at 5:16 AM, Federico Lorenzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, May 17, 2008 at 5:28 AM, Brad Midgley [EMAIL

An important difference between Monitor mode and Promiscuous mode is that in monitor mode you are only a passive receiver and cannot send any packets out. In promiscuous mode the device can also transmit packets (on the network it is associated with). Another thing, which I am not too sure of so

I have a number of programs that I use, and some that I wrote, for professional security pen testing (with permission). I was thinking of making a quick package for doing this automagically. (btw, does the neo support wpa/wpa2?) At the very least, it can cache enough requests on the wireless

weplab/airsnort/sniff2air, and a couple other tools. It is basically gluing a lot of the tools together for ease-of-use. I agree that it is a bit of a grey area, maybe I could just have a EULA like most of the programs involved have anyways. -bk On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 7:16 PM, ian douglas

Of course, it'd be pretty nice to just take your phone and test your network's security level (which, of course is too low if you're using WEP) But there are two major problems, I see: First, I believe the transmission power of the Freerunner will be kind of limited, compared to, say an mobile

I see this now, after reading more in depth about the driver itself. This could be somewhat of a setback :P I will have to do some more research, maybe see if they plan on adding that in the future sometime. Thanks for the input, -bk On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 7:29 PM, Steven Kurylo [EMAIL

Hey There is an email from Andy Green in March saying says we don't have monitor mode, which I think means no promiscuous mode. It would also be handy to get master mode. I can't see if ar6k will work in master mode, but a minipci ar5413 in my laptop at least used to do this using the closed
