thnaks for your help you seem to really know your stuff about this!

looks like its not picking up any networks. Are there any around? Remember the N900 is not THAT sensitive.
according to the default wifi sniffer yes there are about 6 in range around this neighbourhood. Why isnt kismet even finding one of them?

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 acces
s

Wow! so it will crack them also or only access them if they are unlocked?

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.
In answer to this, definately!
what can you recommend as the most affective and useful are they on the app manager?

thanks so much for your help.

To be honest, I have no idea. Without looking at the console logs I could not tell you. However perhaps you could figure it out by looking over the logs.

Kismet will not crack networks, it simply finds them.

There is 'faircrack', 'cleven' and even a slightly modified version of 'wifite'.

However I must warn you, what you are getting into is quite advanced. People will expect you to read, read, read some more then do some more reading followed by a healthy dose of more reading. You must also consider the legal ramifications of using a computer system without permission (meh).

Some links to get you started:

aircrack

The WEP cipher weakness

Some info on how to use xterm

The stuff you are talking about getting into here is not difficult when you understand, just keep at it.

How would i go about viewing the logs is it an important part of needing to connect to the wireless networks or does it just tell you info of everything thats happened through out the sniffing process?

thanks very much

KIsmet simply tells you about a particular network. In order to connect to any given network you would have to close kismet (with ctrl+c) then connect using the network connection thing in the status bar.

No problem... just running kisnet then closing it (after its found the networks) is enough for my n900 to automatically detect more wifi's than it usually would right?

Also how long should i leave kismet sniffing for before exitting it?

thanks.

Hi there,

I have just been out on road in the car and it has sniffed about 4 networks but im not sure what to press or do after that?

Yes it has detected the networks but what do i need to do in order to connect to them? Presumably it sniffs out network which the standard wifi sniffer wouldnt usually sniff out right?

But how do i make it so im able to connect to them?

thank you.

Wrong. Kismet discovers network and stored info about them/data from them (depending on settings). It have nothing to do with Your regular Maemo connection dialog.

I recommend you to follow vi_ advices and take 2-3 days of reading, before asking any other question. Of course, it's perfectly up to You, but it seems that You don't have a clue what You're asking about (no offense - everyone was new to some thing, at certain point), so if You continue asking about things that you can obviously find yourself by just reading documentation, you may see less and less helpful responses.

And trust me, most of the times, You can count if someone really tried and dont know how, or is just plain "lazy", by only looking at question.
