Unlike Offensive Security 101, "BackTrack WiFu" does not have online labs. The student is required to purchase or previously own compatible hardware. In order to gain the most out of the course, it would be best to work on "dedicated hardware" which is completely under your control. This way, you can reboot and reset hardware with ease. The course hardware requirements are:
A wireless access point (AP) with no hardened Firmware.
A wireless card (PCMCIA or USB) able to inject traffic.
A laptop / computer able to work with BackTrack and your wireless card.
An additional computer able to connect to the wireless network.
Most Access Points should work well with the course, and not block or restrict our attacks. If you're planning on buying dedicated hardware for this course, we can recommend the same hardware that was used to produce "BackTrack Wifu"
Access Points:
WRT54GL (Access Point)
Wireless Cards:
WG511T (PCMCIA Wireless Adapter)
ALFA Networks USB 500mw (USB wireless Adapter capable of Injection)
