Hardware ID update script

tradecraft1 · 07-08-2003

All,

There is a script in the /extra's directory that used to update the MAC address lists that Kismet uses for Hardware ID. The web site it pointed to is gone. Another person has taken over this project. www.ffrf.net/fingerprint They have a single list for both AP's and client's but it's a different format then what Kismet uses (tab deliniated vs. semi-colon and the order is different)

I have written a script that will download this new hardware list and convert it for use with Kismet. Here is the script:

#ffrf fingerprint database to Kismet conversion script
#!/bin/bash
wget http://www.ffrf.net/fingerprint/fingerprint.csv.gz -O ../etc/hw_manuf.gz
gunzip -f ../etc/hw_manuf.gz
gawk -F ';' ' {printf"%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n",$5,$3,$4 ,$7,$6,$8,$2,$1}' hw_manuf > hw_list

Watch the line wrap, there are 3 lines to this script. Put this script in the same directory as your kismet.conf file, mine is /usr/local/etc

Open your kismet.conf file and go to the section that starts,

#Where do we get our manufacturer fingerprints from?

Change that section to this:

ap_manuf=hw_list
client_manuf=hw_list

Any problems let me know.
