Kismet/WirelessKismet and Wireless Stuff ... Extended development logs, up and coming features, and general wireless link-whorery.The Last Hope- (Found June 24, 2008 ) For anyone on the east coast, you should come to The Last Hope this summer.I'll be there running the network and wifi.Post in the forums if you're coming (Probably makes sense to start a new topic and post it all in there), maybe everyone can coordinate hanging out.http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1211661857.txt Kismet and Spectools releases- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Long time brewing, 2007-10-R1 releases for both Kismet and Spectrum Tools. Kismet gets major memory reductions and major speed increases in the client, which means it should no longer slow to a crawl and fall down around 1000 networks. Also a bunch of fixes for memory corruption (weird client crashes should be mostly, if not totally, resolved now) which were all internal memory corruption issues, so no security concerns there as far as I know. Basic 802.11N IE tag parsing so now 11n...http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1191879563.txt What kismet needs for n800n770- (Found June 24, 2008 ) What I think Kismet needs to have for me to do an official release on the 770800: dbus communication to the wlan control program to suspend network scanning while kismet is running launcher scripts to bring kismet up in a terminal automatically bluetooth gps detection scripts to detect GPS units and use them, integration with the os2007 gpsd systemI don't know when I'll have time to work on adding these, so consider this a call for assistance from anyone who wants to get proper support...http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1191879738.txt Kismet and Leopard- (Found June 24, 2008 ) So, Apple changed some things around when they did Leopard, and broke the recently-added Kismet support. BUT, it's fixed now in SVN, and as soon as some Maemo stuff is done I'll package it into a release. For those who want to get into it now, a very current libpcap is a must. From CVS current. This is because it seems Leopard subtly changes how it does DLT enumeration, which means existing libpcap releases won't find the 802.11 DLT and won't be able to figure out how to flip it into rfmon..http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1197944249.txt New release pending- (Found June 24, 2008 ) New release is pending on me getting stuff done for the nokia 800810 to try to finally eke out some stability there, if there are any patches now is the time to start sending them to me. (Check the svn changelog, most of the annoying glitches from the last release are taken care of).http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1199291015.txt Kismet on Nokia 8x0- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Kismet finally works (for most definitions of work) on the Nokia 8x0 tablets running OS2008.Generally things behave (even GPS, after rewriting it to handle the broken GPSD in Maemo and falling back to R=1 debug mode), however coming OUT of Kismet will leave the system in a bad state, namely, the power management changes necessary don't revert cleanly when applying the old power profile, so you'll severely truncate your battery life if you don't reboot.Beta packages will be available sometime...http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1201806039.txt N810 GPS TTFF problem- (Found June 24, 2008 ) For those using an 810, you might have noticed an often abysmal time-to-first-fix (I sure have). Try this:http:vilunki.wordpress.com20080204solution-to-n810-gps-problemshttp://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/misc/entry-1202138066.txt (Untitled)- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Latest stable version fixes all the little bugs that showed up in 3.0.0.Expect major development to start again soon, first on the list is modularization of the packet and data logging engines in preparation for plugins. (Yes, still preparing for plugins, yes, it's been a year, but I want them done right so that they're actually useful.)Grab the latest stable, give it a try, and if you feel adventerous keep an eye on the devel changelogs and take a look at them. Changes for a while won't be...http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/wireless/entry-1204303795.txt Pending release, Nokia- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Nokia 8x0 support is the last thing preventing there from being a new stable release. Someone on IRC said they were working on some packaging for it and would send me patches, so once I get them, I'll merge them in and do a release.That said, Maemo support is no more stable than it was before: Maybe half the time it works, the other half of the time it drops dead a few seconds into running and you have to reboot the unit. You also have to reboot when you're done running or the battery...http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1207919691.txt Atheros options- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Just to bump these out of the forums so that they're more easily findable:Two options for the "card drops dead while channel hopping" problem encountered with madwifi-ng. Option one, proposed here, is to turn off the "autocreate" kernel module when loading madwifi via "autocreate=none". You will then need to make your STA vaps manually with wlanconfig, but reports are that it prevents the drop problem when you create monitor vaps later, even after creating a station vap.Option two, madwifi...http://kismetwireless.net/blog/index.php?entry=/kismet/entry-1191079973.txt |
