Ok... I will try to give a little step-by-step guide how I think it makes sense...

Packages to install before kismet:
flite (Speech output when a new wlan is found. Very cool)
aircrack-ng (airmon-ng is fine to get your wlan *out* of monitor mode once you quit kismet, otherwise you might have to reboot your tablet)
becomeroot (we need some way to become root)

Install kismet from tz1's link (you might need the red pill mode for this, but I don't know exactly - it might work as root in a shell with dpkg -i [debfile])

! Important: Use this only with tz1's build! eko's build places the .conf-files under /etc/kismet !

Download my confs from http://rapidshare.com/files/10086066...confs.tgz.html
and save this .tgz-file somewhere on your tablet where you will find it again.

Open a x-term shell, become root (sudo gainroot) and copy the file you just downloaded to /usr/etc and untar it there:

cp kismet_confs.tgz /usr/etc
cd /usr/etc
tar -xzvf kismet_confs.tgz

This will overwrite the standard .confs with my versions.

Changes from tz1's original confs:
1.) Disable apm (doesn't work anyway)
2.) disable sound (same)
3.) enable speech (with flite)
4.) change the capture source from prism54g (produces rubbish) to nokia770 (fine)


The data files will be written to /media/mmc1/, so you should have an exchangable card in there, if you want to change it, edit kismet.conf.

I can only say that it works fine for me, so I hope it will for you.

Oh and if you want metric units (for speed from gps and stuff) set
metric=true in kismet.conf

/Edit: Forgot half of the important stuff ;-)

Running Kismet
============
Set your wlan to *not* connect automatically, if you are connected to a wlan, quit the connection (gray wlan symbol).

Open your terminal, become root, and start kismet by typing kismet ;-)

After running kismet your wlan might be in some half-zombie mode (you have this case if you click on your gray wlan icon and it won't find any wlans).

In this case type
airmon-ng stop wlan0

This should do the trick

I got kismet working with Tantris instructions, thanks.
I have problem with gps logging. Kismet doesn't save gps coordinates very often, only about once a minute. Most of the APs don't get any gps information. Does anybody know how to get kismet to save more gps data?

Hi mikkov,

Do you use the gps in a n810 or do you have an external gps?

You might want to ask the developer directly at http://kismetwireless.net/Forum/General/

Unfortunately I don't know the exact version of kismet tz1 compiled into the .deb-file - maybe it would work with a newer version, maybe it is the most recent one...

I tested with N800 and LD-3W gps receiver. But I will test this also with N810.

If anybody else has tried this, I'd be glad to hear.

I was asking because I didn't get any data with the built-in gps from a n810 with eko's build. I haven't tried it with tz1's build yet...

I changed gpsmodelock to 'true' and now gps data is saved every second. Tested with n800 and ld-3w

So my process for getting a map while doing wifi audits is this:

1) Run kismet with GPS enabled obviously
2) Use kismel2kml to convert the xml file generated by kismet into a kml file
3) Use gpsbabel to convert the kml file into a gpx
4) Import the gpx into Maemo mapper as a POI series

I need a way to de-dupe the kismet file or the kml by eliminating multiple BSSIDs.

I used kismet earth php script which gives pretty nice kml. http://www.niquille.com/kismet-earth/

There are many other scripts floating around if you just keep googling.

edit: don't know about importing to maemo mapper

@mikkov

gpsmodelock=true seems to work very well on the n810, too! Maybe I have time for a little war-walk tomorrow ;-)

For all:
=====

"My" kismet-conf files with gpsmodelock=true are here for download:
http://rapidshare.com/files/10173190...confs.tgz.html

(I will take the old confs down, once gpsmodelock=true is proven to be better than false ;-))

Instructions for unpacking etc. can be found here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...1&postcount=81

I think you can attach files to posts (esp. small files) - rapidshare keeps telling me I didn't type in the security code right.
