KisMAC a new wifi scanner for OSX
Kismac is still in early beta stage. All features are not implemented, yet. Project went GPL, so feel free to add your contribution or post comments to mick@binaervarianz.de.
The main difference with other stumblers is that it will detect hidden networks and put an Airport card into monitoring mode.
This enables the airport card to be completely passive while detecting networks. The author of the viha-driver (which KisMAC uses) is developing a stumbler himself, but it has not yet been released.

What is required to run KisMAC?
-Apple Airport or a Prism2 PCMCIA card (other cards are not yet supported by the underlying drivers)
-Apple Mac OS 10.2.x (Airport driver cannot be disabled in previous versions)
(Recommended) External antenna (Will allow the capture of packets in a wider area)
