  1. Hi Everyone,

    I'm Dave. I started watching the show years ago, stopped and now have taken it upon myself to watch every episode from start to current. I'm in Season 5 right now trying to wrap my head around packets. More or less learn as much as possible. I've been programming for about 7 years and started solely on linux about the same time. I use linux as often as possible to solve my problems. I have fun stuff like MythTV setup, proxmox VE, and changed my win 8 laptop over to ubuntu as soon as I purchased it. Anyway enough about my excitement. I guess that's all for now. Some bio below. Oh and welcome to all of you that are here already!

  2. After doing a little more research I found that ubuntu stopped updating their repositories for Kismet. I'm updating with the official kismet repository and everything should be working.

  3. I removed my modifications from the config file and ran it again. I never actually get to the screen where it tells me that i don't have a device configured. It looked like below (Which is a different error than before).

    I looked at their site and it appears their last release came out 2011-04-04. I did an apt-cache show and found the below info.

    Description-en: Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool
     Kismet is a 802.11b wireless network sniffer.  It is capable of sniffing
     using almost any supported wireless card using the Airo, HostAP, Wlan-NG,
     and Orinoco (with a kernel patch) drivers.
     .
     Can make use of sox and festival to play audio alarms for network events
     and speak out network summary on discovery.  Optionally works with gpsd
     to map scanning.

    Also when looking in the config file the example was setup exactly like the page i showed earlier. (see below for my config file)

    # Sources are defined as:
    # source=sourcetype,interface,name[,initialchannel]
    # Source types and required drivers are listed in the README under the
    # CAPTURE SOURCES section.
    # The initial channel is optional, if hopping is not enabled it can be used
    # to set the channel the interface listens on.
    # YOU MUST CHANGE THIS TO BE THE SOURCE YOU WANT TO USE
    source=rt8180,wlan4,Alpha
    
    
  4. Hi Everyone,

    I'm having issues with the configuration of Kismet on my ubuntu 12.10 laptop. I installed the application and then followed the instructions on this page to configure it for use. http://www.alonon.net/kismet-configuration-on-ubuntu/

    When I ran "lshw -C network" i found the below information for my network card however when I used the driver information I got the below response

    Is there anything special I'm supposed to be doing with this particular car?
