After a decent strong wifi sniffer
 

Was wondering what peoples recommendations would be for a wifi sniffer stronger than the one im using is which is the n900 default.

Thanks very much.

kismet :D Can be found in extras-devel, needs a little of exploring and figuring before you can use it easily ;)

Thanks

I can see Kismet and the plugins (AutoWep, BTScan, DOT15D4 or PTW)

How do i know the relivent one for me?

thank you.

You ONLY need kismet, avoid the plugins for now.

Hi again,

Ok have just installed kisnet and its not appearing in my installed apps...
do i need to run it through terminal and if so how would i do it and what would need to be typed in order to beging the sniffing process?

thanks guys.

Run from terminal as root.

Hi,

have just gone into terminal and written root and pressed enter then typed kismet to which it started up this dos looking screen which i am given an option yes or no to. When i press yes or no i get an error saying: localhost:2501 will attempt to reocnnect in 5 seconds.
Is there something else i should do?

Thanks again

use tab key to navigate in kismet and to get into topbars use the esc key ;) You should start a kismet server so please choose yes and the start server... turn on your brightness to level 5 as dark grey is hard to read with black background =/

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.

Ok no problem... following your directions...so far it has been doing something on its own and has been going for half an hour and says on the bottom last 5 lines of text "INFO: Saved Data Files"

do i need to wait for this or should i press something?

thanks v much.
