Terry,
Yahi's are good for directional wireless signal such as shooting through
narrow spots (such as an elevator). They are not meant for war driving. I
perform wireless audits often and it really depends on the scope of the audit,
but do you really need a powerful wireless directional antenna for the
wardrive? In my case, I don't care if there is a weak signal 10 miles away
from me from some home user's access point. I also would have to spend a great
deal of time just finding the signals due to directionality.
On the other hand, if you are doing a pen test into the wireless
infrastructure and you want to do it so no one knows about it, the investment
into a yagi may be worthwhile. It depends on the circumstance, what you are
authorized to perform, and what the low handing fruit is.
Good luck,
Matt

Subject: Wardriving with Yagi Antennas
hi guys hope your weekend is good so far. Does anyone have any
experience with teh Yagi Antenna booster ? They claim it can boost up
to 10 miles. Just wonder if anyone has used it while wardriving. Maybe
there's a better antenna you'd recommend ?
Thanks in advance !
