I guess it doesn't really matter whether it is b or g, since my router
which I will be using supports both.
So how about b cards that are known to support injection and mac
address spoofing if possible? Is there even anything like that for
USB?
Also, is there something like hping for Windows? I will be using my
mac to do the actual attack, and only have access to windows laptops.
Thanks for all the hints guys, I really appreciate it!!
