 |
|
I would like to detect hidden essid. I installed kismet but i have a configuration error.
Here is the output i get when i try to invoke kistmet:
| Code: | # kismet
Server options: none
Client options: none
Starting server...
Waiting for server to start before starting UI...
Will drop privs to carin (1001) gid 100
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
NOTICE: Disabling channel hopping, no enabled sources are able to change channel.
Dropped privs to carin (1001) gid 100
Source 0 (addme): Opening none source interface none...
FATAL: Please configure at least one packet source. Kismet will not function if no packet sources are defined in kismet.conf or on the command line. Please read the README for more information about configuring Kismet.
Kismet exiting.

Here is my /etc/kismet.conf file (snipped)
| Code: | source=none,none,addme
filter_tracker=BSSID
|
Not sure exactly what i should fill in this field. My wifi card is eth2, with ipw2200 driver. And in filter_tracker I dont see an option of essid. |

Thank you. I looked for README. Couldn't find it. i searched locate kismet and it found /etc/kismet_ui.conf
/etc/conf.d/kismet
/etc/init.d/kismet
/etc/kismet.conf
/etc/kismet_drone.conf
and few others but no README. Searching now again with locate i see there is a readme gzipped. Probably i was blind for few minutes. 
Now i changed as you mentioned and i still get an error: | Code: | # kismet
Server options: none
Client options: none
