('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hi,
   im jus starting out at a security firm and have been put in charge of getting my own kit because the person in charge is on leave. i will be starting out with wired network audits but i have been given a free run of the wireless section too.
         
             could u recommend some cards that are supported by all security test software? eg airsnort/kismet? will i need to purchase one of each chipset? ie prism2/atheros. i need windows and linux support. thanks
