Will KisMac run on Mountain Lion?

I have heard that KisMac does not play well with Mountain Lion. Has anyone had experience with this combination?


Thanks.

It doesn't work on Mountain Lion. After I downloaded and installed it I was able open the application and modify the settings but as soon as I hit scan the app closed itself. I tried a few times and the result was always the same, I'd hit scan and the app would freeze for a few seconds and then close itself.

Ask and you shall receive, a beta for Kismac 0.3.4 was released last month. Works pretty good on 10.8.2 (2012 15" mbp) went into passive mode as well. Depending on what chipset you have with your airport extreme card though can have different bugs. Mine cant inject packets, I'm going to test out my usb dongle to see if there is better driver support. Other wise worked like a charm.

Hi,


I am getting a crash everytime I click scan after the initial setup on Mountain Lion 10.8.4, tried to update Kismac but looks like I have the latest version of Kismac, please let me know if you found an alternative to Kismac or found a way to make it work. Tried re installing it but crashes every time.


Thanks,

Hi Guys,


Just a quick fallow up, I installed the 0.3.4 beta and it worked however when I run any wifi (wep) Packets acts very weird, actually every thing in there are all over the place, like Packets increase and decrease back to 1 and all the other info keeps jumping around almost like it lost its mind, any ideas? Anyone had this?


Looks like mine is not working as it should.


Thanks,
