description
Kismet is an 802.11
layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion
detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card
which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff
802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic.
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.
kismet supports logging to the wtapfile packet format
(readable by tcpdump and ethereal) and saves detected
network information as plaintext, CSV, and XML.
kismet is capable of using any GPS supported by
gpsd and logs and plots network data.
kismet is
divided into three basic programs, kismet_server
kismet_client and gpsmap
gpsmap
gpsmap reads GPS and Network XML datafiles and plots
networks on downloaded maps or user-supplied images (such as
satellite photos).
kismet client
kismet_client is a ncurses and panels interface which
connects to the server and displays detected networks,
statistics, network details, etc.

kismet server
kismet_server captures, dissects, and logs packets and GPS
data. It is capable of running in ’headless’ mode with no
display. Multiple clients (on multiple computers) can be
connected to a single server.
-I
Set the initial channel for a channel source (source:channel)
-x
Forcibly enable the channel hopper
-X
Forcibly disable the channel hopper
-t
Set the title used for the %t field of the logfile template
(Default: Kismet)
-n
Disable all logging
-f
Use an alternate config file
-c
Override capture source lines (type,interface,name). Refer to
kismet.conf(5) for more information. Multiple capture source
options can be specified for multiple sources. All sources
provided here are automatically enabled unless an enable list is
also supplied.
-C
Comma-separated list to override what capture sources are
enabled.
-l
Override logging types, comma separated (dump, cisco, weak, csv,
xml, gps)
-m
Override maximum packets logged per file
-q
Override sound option and run in quiet mode
-g
Override GPS host:port
-p
Override port to listen on for clients
-a
Override list of client IPs or network/mask blocks (comma
separated) allowed to connect
-s
Run in silent mode (no console status information)
-N
Override server name for this instance of Kismet
-v
Print version
-h
Help
usage
kismet handles automatically starting kismet_server
and kismet_client.
kismet is installed as suid-root by default. It will drop
privs to the user specified in kismet.conf immediately
after binding and configuring the capture source.
