KisMAC the Ultimate Wireless Stumbler:
Not being a MAC fan, this application really makes me want to get a MAC
just to run this one app. It is amazing! This program is what network
stumbler for PC should be - and its free! Not only can it scan for wireless
networks for your favorite wardriving activities, but it does much more. Some of these
additional features are:
* wifi network scanning (including showing its capabilities)
* list of all MAC addresses detected on the network
* graphical real time bandwidth monitor to know how loaded the network is
* advanced WEP cracking built in (packet reinjection, brute force, weak
scheduling attack, newsham 21-bit attack)
* ability to tell all users to "deauthenticate" and perform a DoS
* supports a wide variety of wifi cards
