im new to the linux stuff. well so new i havent even installed it yet as i am trying to get help on that.
I have gone to
www.kismeta.com as this is what came up in the search engine. is this the right kismet. web page or is there another befor i start to try to readup about the software and what it can do. i say this as i havent been able to find any thing about wireless in the website.
i have looked through the kismet threads here and people talk about this software and i want to know some things please.
What is Kismet. ?
How is it used? as i have read the page on the web site and it contridicts what people have said in these forums on it finding ip address's
i would like to use it in the security audits i am doing now but i need to know how it works first before i look a fool.
As I belive Kismet will find AP's that have there SSID turned off. so this would be good. but How does it find the IP address's.
Is it a software that works on the laptop that works with the radio card or does it just use ant network card in place. be it a radio or a normal NIC.
please help
