Re: [Announce] Kismet + Fully functional WLAN monitor mode for the N900
 

hi
kismet cand capture handsake data pack?

Re: [Announce] Kismet + Fully functional WLAN monitor mode for the N900
 

Kismet will capture any and all traffic "on the wire". Data, beacons, management frames, including wpa handshakes if they take place.

thank you!
i try to capture some data but no luck with handshakes. i will try some more.

Sometimes it doesn't work on the first try, but I've never had to restart the device. ctrl-c and then launching again has always worked.
I'll try it right now... and it worked, first try.
Maybe you should try returning to stock frequencies/voltages and see if that helps.

no problem with power kernel 2.6.28.10power37 so far

Re: [Announce] Kismet + Fully functional WLAN monitor mode for the N900
 

Hello

I run 2.6.28.10power37 kernel overklocked ideal to 700 MHz.
Also have PR1.2 and latest kismet.
I have to run as root, when I do I see many networks and packets coming on them.

Diff between you and me I have never ran an older power kernel and never reflashed.

Re: [Announce] Kismet + Fully functional WLAN monitor mode for the N900
 

Ok as requested by lxp, I hereby report my findings on kismet with almost latest stuff.

PR1.2 firmware: flashed without using OTA method. eMMC remains stock.
kernel: 2.6.28.10power37. No other kernel hack patches added on.
wireless power management: off (disabled completely via wlancond with settings from one AP profile).

The issue seems to be with bluetooth co-existance. I originally had my bluetooth turned on but in hidden mode and the results from both kismet and airodump-ng only showed probes (along with autogroup probe under kismet) but no APs except when I physically raised the height of the n900 I was only able to pick up one or two (along with physically rotating n900). However whilst constantly on the move I was not able to pick up any APs only probes.

The issue was later solved by turning off bluetooth completely which resulted in perfectly working kismet along with airodump-ng.

Thanks again to lxp (lxp1 on #kismet at irc.freenode.net) for the help :)

(edit) It was interesting to note however, during bluetooth module being turned on and set to hidden mode, the wireless module device being in managed mode (not monitor mode), it was able to pick up far more APs with active probing. (/edit)

tuxsavvy,

It seems like you have solved my mystery! Indeed when I test Kismet with Bluetooth DISABLED it seems to run perfectly, but when Bluetooth is on (even in "hidden mode") I only get probes.

I certainly agree the problem is with Bluetooth and Kismet co-existence. While this would be great to fix, we can certainly live with turning off Bluetooth before running Kismet. Lxp should document this, though.

Thanks!

Lxp,

If you find a few minutes free you may want to update your website to reflect the below information. Knowing this would have saved me tons of time :)

Re: [Announce] Kismet + Fully functional WLAN monitor mode for the N900
 

I have documented it now in my blog.
A big thanks to tuxsavvy who greatly helped solving this problem.
