hi i would suggest a kingston data traveler 100. an 8gig kingston is available from your local Staples for £14.99. plus if you spend more then £15 you get another 1gig stick for £3.00. i just got a bar of chocolate too. the total cost for 9gig of memory and a bar of chocolate was £18.48. no shipping and for less than £20. so you can even goto the pub for a pint and have a bag of chips on your way home and still have change from your £30. it even comes with a five year warrenty and some guy machine washed one of these and it still worked. this is what i use and its great.

give your local staples a ring and find out if its still available on offer. let me know if it is i think ill get another one before they all go.even if hey are not still on offer the 8gig kingston is normally around £20 anyway so you will probably still get the extra 1gig stick too.

oh ok sorry in that case staples also does these

i had one of these when i used sky broadband. it worked well but couldnt comment on comparison to others as it is the only one ive used. they are available i believe for £19.99 in some stores (you would have to shop around). Maplin also have some great deals on networking.

also if you discover one you want try looking on ebay to see if you can get it cheaper. unless you dont like to wait for delivery

Hello,
the posts in this thread are really helpfull, but the most of them are old.

Now, which is the really best and full (Backtrack3) supported USB wlan adapter with an antenna-terminal , i shall by for wlan hacking?

[blulite]

wow i havnt been here for a while!!!! i lost my bt3 usb stick. found it now though i was in the washing machine. (and it still works)

any how in my personal opinion i would go for an orinoco gold card. im not sure if orinoco do usb but these are amazing cards. and with an antenna of your choice you can get some excellent range with high signals. but i suppose it depends if you want to wardrive or sit at home. either way have a look here

and maybe search google or altavista to see if there is a usb version.

there are some antennas in that store that have 10km range

just a thought

hope it helps

Recently i have been tempted to buy a yagi antenna as i wanted to do some long range stuff from my mums house to my dads (around 2 miles). I have been looking at some options on ebay but i was unsure as ive never used one before and want to be sure before i go spending £40 or £50 on one. Could anyone give me their suggestions as to what i should look for and what to steer clear of.

P.S heres what i have looked at on ebay:

and also this but i was unsure if the chipset supported injection it uses the ZyDAS 1211 chipset

I use newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164015&Tpk=hwug1

im still within my 30 day refund, should I get a new one or keep this one? Id like an internal one, but I dont know what would fit in my acer aspire5900, or what would work with aircrack that would fit..

I guess ill be stuck with an external.

So should I stick with the hawking one or can I get better?

Ok my turn. I'm looking for up-to-date opinions on USB Wireless. I know a lot of people will say Alfa AWUS036H. However, I'm looking for USB Wireless "Key" type options (not storage but that type of form factor..let me know if I'm being unclear).

Also (though less importantly) I'm looking for input on PCMCIA Wired Ethernet adaptors as well, nothing fancy just 10/100 with good out of the box Backtrack/Linux compatability.

"key" type options-Does this mean the shape of the USB adapter your are referring to?

As for pcmcia wired ethernet cards I've never had a problem with any 3Com cards. I'll post a few of the models I have.

Those both have the x-jack so they call it, a little more compact but easy to break the rj45 connector to it.
I have another with a external cord that you plug into it but right now I have seemed to misplace it. If you want the serial on that I'll gladly send it to you when I find it.
