The 2nd most popular network tool on Mac OS X

KisMAC is an open-source and free stumbler/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 several third party PCMCIA cards: Orinoco, PrismII, Cisco Aironet, Atheros and PrismGT. USB devices with Intersil Prism2, Ralink rt2570 and rt73, and Realtek rtl8187 chipsets are in progress towards full support as well. All of the internal AirPort hardware is supported for scanning.

    The idea behind kismac is great, but sometimes the implementation just lacks, don't expect it to work very well on snow leopard and if you don't own an supported usb dongle the only thing you can do is basically watch the networks around you.

    awesome application to "stumble" upon wifi networks, even better if bound to a GPS device, perhaps with the new iPhone software we can create a breach there ?

    Interface is a bit sticky though, needs some work

    Very good
    you do need a usb dongle to max out the application
