Thread: ANOTHER Kismet thread...

hello,

im new forums, , new linux, infact, first day working os.

have been trying kismet working, , have been scouring web , google looking solutions error reports im getting!

finally, iv decided, way im going perhaps need, join 1 of these communities!

im not sure details need me this...... heres kismet .config file!

# kismet config file
# of "static" configs have been moved here -- command line
# config getting way crowded , cryptic. want functionality,
# not continually reading --help!

# version of kismet config
version=2005.06.r1

# name of server (purely organizational purposes)
servername=kismet

# user setid (should normal user)
suiduser=ethan

# sources defined as:
# source=madwifi_g,wlan0,hp-wlan400
# source types , required drivers listed in readme under the
# capture sources section.
# initial channel optional, if hopping not enabled can used
# set channel interface listens on.
# must change source want use
source=madwifi_g,wlan0,hp-wlan400

# comma-separated list of sources enable. needed if defined
# multiple sources , want enable of them. default, defined
# sources enabled.
# example:
# enablesources=prismsource,ciscosource

# channelhop?
channelhop=true

# how many channels per second hop? (1-10)
channelvelocity=5

# setting dwell time channel hopping override channelvelocity
# setting above , dwell on each channel given number of seconds.
#channeldwell=10

# split channels between cards on same spectrum? means if
# multiple 802.11b capture sources defined, offset cover
# possible spectrum @ given time. controls splitting
# fine-tuned sourcechannels lines cover multiple interfaces (see below)
channelsplit=true

# basic channel hopping control:
# these define channels cards hop through various frequency ranges
# supported kismet. more finegrain control available via the
# "sourcechannels" configuration option.
#
# don't change ieee80211<x> identifiers or channel hopping won't work.

# users outside might want use list:
# defaultchannels=ieee80211b:1,7,13,2,8,3,14,9,4,10, 5,11,6,12
defaultchannels=ieee80211b:1,6,11,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10

# 802.11g uses same channels 802.11b...
defaultchannels=ieee80211g:1,6,11,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10

# 802.11a channels non-overlapping sequential fine. may want to
# adjust list depending on channels card supports.
# defaultchannels=ieee80211a:36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64 ,100,104,108,112,116,120,124,128,132,136,140,149,1 53,157,161,184,188,192,196,200,204,208,212,216
defaultchannels=ieee80211a:36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64

# combo cards atheros use both 'a' , 'b/g' channels. of course, you
# can explicitly override given source. can use script
# extras/listchan.pl extract channels card supports.
defaultchannels=ieee80211ab:1,6,11,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,1 0,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64

# fine-tuning channel hopping control:
# sourcechannels option can used set channel hopping for
# specific interfaces, , control interfaces share list of
# channels split hopping. can used lock
# 1 card on single channel while hopping other cards.
# card without sourcechannel definition use standard hopping
# list.
# sourcechannels=sourcename[,sourcename]:ch1,ch2,ch3,...chn

# ie, channels on source 'prism2source' (same normal channel
# hopping behavior):
# sourcechannels=prism2source:1,6,11,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,1 0

# given 2 capture sources, "prism2a" , "prism2b", want prism2a stay
# on channel 6 , prism2b hop normally. not setting sourcechannels
# line prism2b, use standard hopping.
# sourcechannels=prism2a:6

# assign same custom hop channel multiple sources, or split the
# same custom hop channel on 2 sources (if splitchannels true), list
# them on same sourcechannels line:
# sourcechannels=prism2a,prism2b,prism2c:1,6,11

have been trying alot of things other websites , threads of same thing, , each time changed things in .config file, error message changed in terminal.

@ present, error code im getting is:

server options: none
client options: none
starting server...
waiting server start before starting ui...
suid priv-dropping disabled. may not secure.
no specific sources given enabled, enabled.

in advance replies, if there more details required, shall best provide them, remember, im linux user 1 day far

you must compile program use it, have compiled it?

kismet not easy new users.

code:

./configure

look @ errors, see packages missing, if there missing(there is) install them searching reposotorie or downloading internet.
do:

code:

make

and

code:

sudo make install

then can launch with

code:

kismet

you might wan't learn linux first.
