Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic.

Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.



I compiled the latest SVN, applied tz1's patch to enable the GPS successfully if you wish it to, modified the config files to make it save in /media/mmc2/kismet and wrote a script that starts it for you properly.

WARNING: The config files use channels by default that is designated for people outside the US, you may get ****ed over by the authorities if you run kismet in the US with all the channels enabled.

I've ran kismet for 17 and 24 hours fine. Any longer, and it probably will mess up but at least it can run for more than a hour

The script will save your current autoconnect & search interval settings and then disable autoconnect and searching automatically as they mess up kismet. You then have 5 seconds before your current wifi connection is disconnected and if it doesn't exist, the logtemplate directory will be made as to stop kismet from exitting if it doesn't exist. After you close kismet, the internet connection will be reset so you don't have to reboot to use the internet again and your autoconnect & search interval settings will be restored.

DEPENDENCIES:

You need libpcap to run it:

For my script, you need:

- Wireless tools - so that the internet connection can be reset without rebooting:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...ireless-tools/

- Rootsh - so that the internet connection can be reset (I run commands as root and I can't be arsed to make a sudoers file):

- Aircrack - so that you have something to crack the dumps with and so that you can reset the internet connection:
