Wardrive

[TheSwed]

How do a set up my pineapple to be a good wardrive unit? Is it possible?

[barry99705]

root@Pineapple:~# opkg install gpsd

You might not need gpsd since kismet can talk to gps devices natively now, but I've got a script somewhere that can update the date and time from the gps so I always install it. I'm using a Microsoft usb gps that came with MS Streets and Trips 2006, which is a rebranded Pharos igps 500.

root@Pineapple:~# opkg install kismet-client kismet-server

Edit your /etc/kismet/kismet.conf

These are the changes to my settings.

logtemplate=/sd/kismet_logs/%p%n-%D-%t-%i.%l 

Then just setup a switch configuration to start kismet_server. You can ssh in and start kismet_client just like you would on a laptop to make sure your settings are working.

[TheSwed]

Nice. Thanks a lot.

[barry99705]

No problem. Kismet throws mac80211 errors, but the radio seems to hop. Might work better with a different usb wifi adapter, but then you lose the gps, or have to use a powered hub, then you have other power issues.

[TheSwed]

I have a alfa 051nh card. And a usb gps. I won't work with a non powerd usb hub? Is their a battery powerd usb hub to buy?? Or can it be home made?

[barry99705]

I haven't seen self powered usb hubs in a while.

This product is sold by apple in Sweden.

Do you think it works?

[thesugarat]

TheSwed,

I don't think that's going to do what you think... It appears to be a USB hub or a USB battery pack. But it isn't really clear that it can be the hub while plugged into the pineapple and power the devices that are plugged into it at the same time. I could be wrong though...

[barry99705]

Maybe someone smarter than me can help me out. I've got a bash script called startkismet.sh saved to /sd. In my boot modes config I have 11001 set to run /sd/startkismet.sh. The problem is it's not running the script. I've chmodded it 777, just to be sure, and I can ssh in and run the command manually.

Here's the really simple script,

#!/bin/sh
kismet_server

Any ideas?

[cooper]

/sd mounted with noexec? What does 'mount' return?

[barry99705]

I can execute the script no problem, it's just not running at boot.

I think I know. Is your script perhaps invoking a DIFFERENT shell that doesn't have kismet_server on the path?

Try changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash

Nope, didn't help. Like I said, I can do a ./startkismet.sh and it works. I've also tried just putting kismet_server as a boot mode. Wonder if it needs the path?

Nope, that doesn't work either.

Edited May 9, 2014 by barry99705

[cooper]

Of course it needs the path. You're invoking 'kismet_server'. It'll go through the path to find that program and fail if it can't find it.

To test, replace the 'kismet_server' invocation with this:

PATH_TO_PROG=`which kismet_server`
if [ "x${PATH_TO_PROG}" == "x" ]
then
    echo "No kismet_server found." >> /var/log/script.log
else
    echo "Starting ${PATH_TO_PROG}" >> /var/log/script.log
    ${PATH_TO_PROG}
fi

Added the path before, /usr/bin/kismet_server.

[cooper]

I think at boot your path only contains, like /bin and /sbin and not much else. It might just be that kismet_server will invoke other stuff which it can't find because their location isn't on the path. That's what I thought you meant with "wonder if it needs the path" as in the PATH environment variable set properly.

Replace what I suggested and start out with

echo $PATH >> /var/log/script.log

to really demonstrate the problem.

[barry99705]

sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

[cooper]

Do you have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH set typically?

Can you get that kismet_server program to output debug data?

Is it a binary executable or a script?

I'm picking up my own pineapple later today which should help in debugging...

[barry99705]

It's a binary. It's executable. I can get a linksys wrt54gl to run it as an init.d object no problem. The pineapple just won't run it. I'm going to try removing the karma init.d objects and see if that works.

Well that didn't help either. Freaking weird. I even tried making an init script to automagically start it at boot. Nada. I can now call /etc/init.d/kismet_server start and it starts just fine. I can just do a kismet_server and it starts just fine. For some reason it won't start during boot though. Not sure why.

[barry99705]

Okay, I've given up on autostarting kismet, so now I'm trying to make an infusion. I know dick about writing php, so I'm copying the crap out of other infusions that have the commands I need. Basically I've copied Darren's ads-b tracker settings for the small_tile.php, handler.php, functions.php and the includes directory. I've modified everything(I think) to work with kismet instead of dump1090. I've removed settings that don't pertain, or just don't need to be there. After tracking down an extra bracket, I've gotten the small tile to actually show the start, stop buttons, and current status of kismet. Now the problem is I can't get the start button to actually start kismet server..... It will stop it, and even show it's running if I ssh in and start it manually. I think I'm almost there, but not sure what's wrong. Here's the configs if anyone wants to chime in.

small_tile.php

<?php include_once('/pineapple/includes/api/tile_functions.php'); ?>
<?php include_once("{$directory}/functions.php"); ?>

<div style='text-align: right'><a href='#' class="refresh" onclick='refresh_network()'> </a></div>




<?php
$kismet_server_running = exec("pidof kismet_server");
if($kismet_server_running == "") {
  echo "kismet_server <font color='red'>disabled</font>";
} else {
  echo "kismet_server <font color='lime'>enabled</font>";
}
?>
<br/><br/>
<form method="POST" action="/components/infusions/kismet/functions.php?action=startkismet_server" id="startkismet_server" onSubmit="$(this).AJAXifyForm(notify); return false;">
  <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Start kismet_server'>
</form>

<form method="POST" action="/components/infusions/kismet/functions.php?action=stopkismet_server" id="stopkismet_server" onSubmit="$(this).AJAXifyForm(notify); return false;">
  <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Stop kismet_server'>
</form>

functions.php

<?php

if(isset($_GET['action'])){
  if($_GET['action'] == "startkismet_server"){
    echo start_kismet_server();
  }
  if($_GET['action'] == "stopkismet_server"){
    echo stop_kismet_server();
  }
}

function start_kismet_server(){
  //print_r($_POST);

  $startcommand = "kismet_server --daemonize";

  exec("echo ".$startcommand." | at now");
  return "<font color='lime'>kismet_server Started</font>";
}

function stop_kismet_server(){
  exec("killall kismet_server");
  return "<font color='lime'>kismet_server Stopped.</font>";
}

?>

Well I found a small type in the code above and fixed that. Now when I click the Start kismet_server button it says "kismet_server Started" like it's supposed to, but kismet_server really isn't started... What's really irritating is I can put in "echo $PATH >> /var/log/script.log" that Cooper suggested to see the path, and it runs that just fine. I'm starting to wonder if this version can't be called from a script? You also can't run it from the Execute Commands window in the configuration tile.
