Finding stolen APs with Kismet ?

Logan-San · 08-15-2004

Hello !

I know that this is NetStumbler's forum but I've got an important (for me) question about wardriving setup for Kismet !

I have chosen Kismet, not Netstumbler because it can find cloaked APs and short preamble APs on my Orinoco!

So ...
In my city (in Poland) we have had some robberies of wifi stuff from base stations of local internet providers (some of them are my friends).
Sometimes I wardrive around my city and I've got an idea that I could try to find these stolen APs (if there are running) by MAC addresses (I have got all the stolen MACs).
And what is my question ;-)
How to setup Kismet to Allert me that specific MAC address is found (on AP or Bridge or Client etc) ? Is it possible ?
As I know Kismet can Allert when it sees someone who is scanning air with Netstumbler.

Thanks for any help !!!

yes, it is common to use festival or play other audio on specific events, such as a new network, etc... read the kismet docs and modify your .conf appropriately

You might also want to search on WiGLE by MAC address too. This ensures that either you or another wardriver who submits to WiGLE will find it. This is good, especially if the AP has left the area, which is a possiblity.
