Access Points - the hacker’s choice

Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
Bands: 802.11a (5Ghz), 802.11b/g (2.4Ghz), and 802.11n operating at either 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz
Comments: The wide range of compatibility within this access point cannot go over looked. Combined with its relatively low price, it serves as a good, multi-purpose addition to your toolkit.
Downsides: The AP itself is slightly bulky and the Airport Utility must be used for configuration.
(Looking for an OpenWRT/DD-WRT flash)

Buffalo WHR-G54S running OpenWRT
Bands: 802.11b/g(2.4Ghz)
Comments: OpenWRT (or DD-WRT) adds such a wealth of functionality to these low cost access points that they immediately become a must have addition to the toolkit. I’ll use this for a variety of quick and dirty tasks, especially when I don’t feel like booting into Windows to use the Airport Utility. (Although there is a Linux version available)
Downsides: Only supports 802.11b/g, and it has been discontinued by the manufacturer
Due to OpenWRT’s portability, the specific make/model of this AP is not as important as is the availability of OpenWRT (or DD-WRT).

ALFA-AWUS036H & ALFA-AWUS050NH INSTALLING/UPDATING DRIVERS RTL8187, r8187, RT2800usb on UBUNTU

NOTE: For surfing Internet with ALFA-AWUS050NH on Ubuntu Jaunty with rt2870sta driver, you must use the Kernel "2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu", without change or updates the drivers modules. NOTE: The tutorial is not related to Ubuntu karmic. Driver RTL8187/Stacks-mac80211 (ref. ALFA-AWUS036h) - These drivers, for surfing Internet, are more stable than r8187, and fully compatible with Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. - Supports all encryption without problems. (OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2) - With Compat-Wireless, the "injection" working, but for support “Fragmentation attack” (opt. -5) you need to install one patch. - The RX sensitivity and packets injection is less, related to drivers r8187. Driver r8187/Stacks-ieee80211 (ref. ALFA-AWUS036h) - This driver is recommended for use with the Suite of Aircrack-ng, but not particularly suitable for Internet connections, as less stable and disc...

Packetforge-ng

The purpose of packetforge-ng is to create encrypted packets that can subsequently be used for injection. You may create various types of packets such as arp requests, UDP, ICMP and custom packets. The most common use is to create ARP requests for subsequent injection. To create an encrypted packet, you must have a PRGA (pseudo random genration algorithm) file. This is used to encrypt the packet you create. This is typically obtained from aireplay-ng chopchop or fragmentation attacks.
