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. |
