Raw Normal View History

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 (with appropriate hardware) can sniff 802.11b,
802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet also supports plugins which
allow sniffing other media such as DECT.
Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting
standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden
networks, and inferring the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.
This script requires a 'kismet' group to exist before running. The recommended
GID is 234. You can create it like this: groupadd -g 234 kismet
After installation, add user to kismet group and re-login.
