Re: After a decent strong wifi sniffer
 

You can find the files in MyDocs, with the date and kismet as filename ;)

Re: After a decent strong wifi sniffer
 

tip: leave it running for a while and the phone gets quite hot. caps are stored default in mydocs, wireshark is handy for analysing the packets (on your desktop, the wireshark in extra's has terrible ui issues.

Why the hell one should avoid plugins? (vi_, I'm looking at You)

Re: After a decent strong wifi sniffer

Re: After a decent strong wifi sniffer
 

hey guys. sorry really cant get my head round this prog. what am i supposed to do with all the files when they are in mydocs?

i have seen that website lised above but am struggling to access the client files as it says permission denied on x terminal.

what would i ned to do with the files when i actually configure them?

is there not another prog similar to this which is more newbie friendly?

thanks guys for the help

I dont know why these guys are spoonfeeding you hot sh|t pudding.


1. Open xterm
2. type 'root' to get a root shell
3. Kismet will ask if you want to start server. Choose yes (it is already highlightes, just press return)
4. It will ask you for your server options, just press return
5. some sh|t will appear on screen, this is the console output. Press tab, this should highlight 'close console window'. Press return.
6. You should now see all the wifi networks around you.
7. The controls are a bit funny (they used to be WAY easier back in the day) just play around till you get it.

The files you will find in the path you invoked kismet from. They are the log files. Kismet should also start up the GPS in order to record the locations of all the networks found (so you can plot them on google maps 'n sh|t).

This all assumes you have rootsh and powerkernel installed.

The guy shouldn't bother with the plugins as he barely understands how to operate the program, nevermind a whole bunch more sh*t on top of that. Not to mention 2/3 of the plugins are useless for a noob. (bluetooth, broken. WEP, pointless. PMK, WTF that is.)

Also, kismet is the AK47 of wifi sniffers. Can you explain what it is you want to do exactly?

Re: After a decent strong wifi sniffer
 

Hi therefollowed all your directions successfully up until here:

the things i see around me are: Elapsed 00:3.09, Networks 0, Packets, /sec, Filtered.

What would be the need to plot them in to google maps? To get the exact location of the wifi points so i can walk there and use the net right?

Rootsh yes, powerkernel no.. can this be found in the app manager?

Yes i would like to be able to pick up nearby wifi points in the neighbour hood and use them for internet access (if of course they dont have pass wep/wpa keys)

Have i got the right software here?

Re: After a decent strong wifi sniffer
 

looks like its not picking up any networks. Are there any around? Remember the N900 is not THAT sensitive.

wardriving, it is even more dorkish than bus-spotting


yes, although you don't need powerkernel for this. My mistake.


mmmm, not really. kismet is a full on passive wlan packet sniffer. It will pick up access points that are even to far away to actually use for Internet access.

If you just want to find open access points and connect to them for whatever nefarious schemes the best option is actually the drop down connect to network status menu thing. It only lists access points you can actually use. The padlock next to the name indicates what encryption method is in use if at all any. Is there some problem with this?

If your into stealing someone else's wifi when you don't have any of your own (would you not steal bread to feed your starving family?) You need to look 'bleeding edge wifi drivers' and use one of the many packages for cracking WEP keys.
