KisMAC - Free Sniffer/Scanner application for Mac OS X
KisMAC is an open-source and free sniffer/scanner application for
Mac OS X. It has an advantage over MacStumbler / iStumbler / NetStumbler
in that it uses monitor mode and passive scanning.
KisMAC supports many third party USB devices: Intersil Prism2, Ralink
rt2570, rt73, and Realtek rtl8187 chipsets. All of the internal AirPort
hardware is supported for scanning.
