I large part of my computer using life has been spend trying to get them to do things they were not designed to do. In high school we were breaking NT boxes. In college, messing with the schools firewall. Now I get paid to encourage search engines to like my companies site (I am a white hat if anyone is wondering). Now that I have my netbook set up with VMs all that was missing was the right wifi antenna and my mobile wifi auditor would be complete. At the recommendation of the guys over at Hak5 I bought the Alpha AWUS036H. Basically the word on the interwebz is this is the best you can buy.

Remember: just like with a gun, just because you have one does not make it ok to use it on other people. Play with your own set-up or ask your grandmother if you can practice on hers.

Remember (x2): You lock your doors and close your windows, so freaking password your wifi and don’t use Internet Explorer… Please god don’t use Internet Explorer.
