It is a stable plug n play device with firmware support expected. The awesome folks at Hacker Arsenal have done a brilliant job in building Wimonitor. The Raspberry Pi 3B is powerful enough to do stable monitoring and with a few simple steps can be converted to a Wimonitor (well, almost !). The Pi can run a variety of OS including Kali and I have had good success using Pi’s during Wi-Fi pentests. Meanwhile - why not try this on a Raspberry Pi ? Hopefully they will start shipping from EU soon. I haven’t got one yet, but have been hearing good reviews about the product since launch. Basically it is a tp-link TL-MR3020 router with a custom firmware that does all the monitoring part and sends the packets to the host laptop (or Mac !) where you can start Wireshark and concentrate on the packet analysis. It gives you the flexibility to plug in the device into the Ethernet port and start Wi-Fi monitoring on any OS.

and comes with a web interface to do the configurations. Wimonitor is a wonderful product from Hacker Arsenal that saves pentesters the hassle of having to configure VMs, carry compatible wireless cards that support monitor mode etc. #wifi #wifi monitoring #wifi sniffing #raspberry pi #wimonitor #Windows #kali #wifi pentest #wifi cracking wpa2 handshake ☰ Menu Wi-Fi packet sniffing / monitoring on Windows using Raspberry Pi - inspired by Wimonitor
