Charles Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Thoughts, opinions? I tried using kismet, but kept having problems displaying the "network info" of whenever networks it picked up. When I used airodump-ng, it displayed the BSSID and whatnot without having to go thru menus. Is there any advantage to using Kismet over airodump? Thanks!

c0r Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I haven't used kismet a lot.I only use the aircrack suite. With airodump-ng you can see the clients that are connected to the AP. I don't think kismet does that..correct me if i'm wrong. c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Aces Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 kismet is good if thier is alot of hidden AP's, also kismet with the aircrack-ng plugin is better and the fact wardriving is better with kismet http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/212.html as you can get gps co-ordinates with it if you set it up right and have a gps etc for actual cracking though ive always used aircrack or cowpatty with rainbow tables if i capture the wpa handshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopez1364 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Use both! Use kismet for captures and finding hidden SSIDs then use airodump-ng for all the extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 You can use kismet for captures? I guess that means that I need to do more research before asking stupid questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Aces Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 charles yes you can, i've always used the aircrack suite as a whole as it seems to work better for me. as your probably know, it helps if you have 2 wifi cards or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think of using one for airodump-ng with channel hopping and using another one "attacking" an accesspoint. But is there any possibility to use 2 or more network cards together?

MBP Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 you can attack with 1 and capture with another. i've used multiply computers for attacking/capturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You can use kismet for captures? I guess that means that I need to do more research before asking stupid questions. Well yea! I've run kismet with 4 wifi cards at once. Had them all channel hopping only three channels, so 1 card would be doing channels 1, 4, 7, then next would be doing 2, 5, 8, next would be doing 3, 6, 9, last would be doing 10, 6, 11. Going down the highway at 65+mph and you could miss an access point with just one card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think kismet does that..correct me if i'm wrong. c When you are in Kismet, if you select an AP and press 'c' you can see the clients connected to that AP: If the AP is not encrypted, or if you know the encryption key, you can also see the IP address of each client as well as the manufacturer of their wireless card and MAC address. Nifty stuff, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kismet-2010-01-R1 I'm running Debian 5 on my laptop; the "old" version of Kismet is the newest version in the repos. Haven't needed the new version, so I haven't compiled it.

cmdgamma Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 personally i just find airodump-ng much easier to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Aces Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 How are you using two wifi cards? I can only think of using one for airodump-ng with channel hopping and using another one "attacking" an accesspoint. But is there any possibility to use 2 or more network cards together? using multiple wifi cards is WAY better nuff said sorry bout the late reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 personally i just find airodump-ng much easier to use. Yes that is true, but airodump-ng does not give u the ability to search for non broadcasting wireless. As opposed to Kismet. If you do war-driving frequently you will find kismet very useful.

Correction, you may be able to use airodump-ng to detect non broadcasting SSIDs, but Kismet seems to be a good choice.
