Does the PEN-210 course have any recommended hardware?

For a brief listing of compatible hardware, please see the listing below.

Recommended Wireless Network Routers

• NETGEAR AC1000 (R6080)
• Linksys WiFi 5 Router Dual-Band AC1200 (E5400)

Recommended Wireless Cards

• Alfa AWUS036NHA

In general, most access points can be used for the course exercises although some variations may occur. Your wireless card must be injection-capable so please refer to the Aircrack-ng wiki to verify compatibility.

Can I use Kali to complete PEN-210?

The attacks and methods studied in the course are not Operating System dependent so you should not encounter any issues using Kali Linux rather than BackTrack. The primary difference between the two distributions when it comes to the PEN-210 course is that all tools in Kali Linux are in the system path rather than in a /pentest/ directory.

What are the reporting requirements?

The only report that is required for PEN-210 is your exam report, where you are required to submit the retrieved wireless network keys and the steps that you took to recover them. However, we do suggest you take notes while you are doing the course as it will help solidify the information and make it easier to retrieve when you need a reminder of steps that need to be taken while attacking wireless networks.

Where can I find the Karma resource script?

Since the original karma.rc script appears to have been taken down from its original site, we have mirrored it and you can download it from the following URL:
