Title: kismet-2006-04-R1.uci Description: 802.11 layer 2 wireless traffic monitor Version: 2006-04-R1 Author: kismetwireless.net (dragorn?) Original-site: http://www.kismetwireless.net Copying-policy: GPL v2 ----------------------------------------------------- Extension by: Winter Knight Comments: Kismet stores it's config files in $KISBASE/etc, where $KISBASE is Kismet's base directory. I linked this to /home/dsl/.kismet/etc so that the directory can be written to. I put the defualt config files in /home/dsl/.kismet/default-configs to prevent clobbering. I modified kismet.conf. I changed the suid user to dsl, since that is what 99.9% of DSL users would use. I modified the logtemplate variable, so that it writes log files to /home/dsl/.kismet/log, because the default is to write to $KISBASE/bin, which is not writable in a uci. I included the original kismet.conf as kismet-orig.conf. _ Note that kismet works with most wireless cards/drivers. It does not work with ndiswrapper. See online docs for more information. _ To use this extension: 1) mydsl-load kismet-2006-04-R1.uci 2) If this is your first time using kismet with DSL: cp ~/.kismet/default-configs/* ~/.kismet/etc If you are running from LiveCD, every time is your first time 3) edit ~/.kismet/etc/kismet.conf, especially the sources variable. Use the online documentation if you need help. 4) sudo /opt/kismet-2006-04-R1/bin/kismet _ Requires: Working, native, wireless card and driver. No other extensions required.
