Kismet
Hello all. I am running RH 7.2 with an Orinoco card. I have it running in RH with nor problems. I downloaded and installed kismet without hitch, but when I ran it nothing happened. Upon further investigation, I found that I had to apply a patch to allow the Orinoco to drop in to monitor mode. This part is eluding me. Could someone give me a little help to get Kismet up and running?
Thanks! |

I don't know about red hat , but i'm using SuSe 7.2 with the standard wlan_ng drivers and a Orinoco silver card. I,ve compiled Kismet to Prism2, because i used a different card first...conceptronic C11. To my surprice Kismet works better than ever (great dump files...no need for Ethereal if you do something like: cat Kismetblabla.dump|strings|more)
Grtz, LostSon |

simple as rocket science
these patches are not simple to install and the instructions are questionable at best (when they exist) and I'm an experienced patch installer/kernel compiler.
There are other matters at hand as well. The firmware revision on the PC card makes as much a difference as having/using the right kernel modules. -SAU Max, I tried your software but I'm not sure what it actually did. It did see my cisco card and it did detect my home AP at least according to the configuration screen but the scanner screen never showed any changes other than to say it found 5 packets. I tried the patch you suggested from source_forge but it killed my ability to configure the patched kernel. the patch caused a parse error in some "Configure.in" file. I even got the 2.4.3 kernel it was originally diffed from and got the same results. I ended up using my unpatched 2.4.18 kernel. |

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 |

Kismet will find AP's with the broadcast turned off. It will also find wireless bridges. If it sniffs UDP, ARP or Cisco (CDP) traffic it can display to ip range on your screen.

Help with patching
Can someone point me in the right direction to learn about patching software?
I just installed Redhat 7.2 on my machine and bought the "Redhat Linux 7.2 Bible" but it is still darn confusing. I figured out how to extract tar.gz files and then how to "make" them but am unsure how to apply patches / diff files (for example the patch/diff file for airsnort). I have looked on the internet but not found a good description. I am not asking to be spoon fed, I am trying to learn how to use Linux for myself. Many thanks john |

from http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html
Install the pcmcia-cs sources, apply a patch, configure/make/make install the sources, then make/make install the drivers in the pcmcia-cs/wireless subdirectory if they were not built by your initial make. For those unfamiliar with applying patches, the command looks something like this when applied from the parent directory of your pcmcia-cs source tree: patch -p0 < orinocoPatch.diff |

Ok, sorry to be dense... but when downloading the patch.diff file from the airsnort page, should it be saved as a .txt file or something else? I appreciate the ongoing education.

I am havign a damn time w/ linux
I installed RH7.2 onto a Gateway Laptop with a Linksys wpc11
RH works beautifully... but the wifi doesnt do a thing... I installed the development tools, the Installed the Linux-wlan-ng 1.10 RPM Installed LibPcap0.7.1 -These I simply unpacked to root Installed Tcpdump3.7.1 Compiled Kismet per its instructions Now I run 'prism2_monitor' to turn on monitoring and then run 'prism2_hopper &' & run Kismet... The program runs but does nothing, I get no Data or anything... Is there any way to test if the Card is even working with the drivers?

Hehehe... ask the question and then figure it out yourself
Hehehe...
First you ask the question, and then between checking for an answer 3 times a day... you figure out where you went wrong. Forgot to change the kismet.conf to use prism2 as the capture type instead of pcap... now to get ethereal and wellenreiter to work... smile
