I'm a big fan of Aircrack-ng. Looking forward to test release 1.1.  

Are you new to wireless security and never heard of Aircrack-ng ??

Aircrack-ng is a network software suite consisting of a detector, packet snifferWEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK cracker and analysis tool for 802.11 wireless LANs. It works with any wireless card whose driver supports raw monitoring mode (for a list, visit the website of the project or [1]) and can sniff 802.11a802.11b and 802.11gtraffic. The program runs under Linux and Windows; the Linux version has been ported to the Zaurus and Maemo platforms, and a proof-of-concept port has been made to the iPhone.
