Knoppix STD - Kismet

Pathfinder · 10-27-2004

Hey guys,

I downloaded the distro last night and put aside Windows/Netstumbler for a bit (well now for a long time since theres so much more to learn). Picked up this message from Kismet:

Suspicous Clients (mac here) probing but never participating.

After doing some searching here and on the Kismet forums, could possibly be a netstumbler laptop...but Im still confused as to the "false positive" statement given in the help forums. Does that mean an AP is failing or improperly configured?

Also can a Kismet see another Kismet program?

Just FYI...the SST-Page Ranking-1 AP that everyones going on about just popped up on Kismet. I live in Vernon Texas if anyone knows where that is.

Northwest of Dallas a bit (about 170 miles as the crow flies).

About a half hour drive from Altus AFB where I was stationed for 3 and a half years.

I'm guessing a smidge south of Oklahoma.

As the crow flies
From Wikipedia

"As the crow flies" is a colloquial term used to describe the most direct route between two points on the Earth. It is most often used to differentiate distance along this route with that along a less direct route, such as a road or railroad, and is generally the same as the great circle route.

An example would be the distance between Key West and Pensacola, at the two opposite ends of Florida. Driving, the distance is approximately 792 miles or 1275 km, but directly across the Gulf of Mexico it is only around 500 miles or 800 km as the crow flies.

It's Thursday and I forgot my towel.

we get this all the time at work as the forklifts drive by a access point but do not have time to connect to it.
