Kismet on the 6000 Options

[lwong]

I followed the guide but the link for the libpcap doesn't work for me.

If I use the libpcap I downloaded from Killefiz I got the following error:

zcat: libpcap0_0.7.2-1_arm.ipk: not in gzip format

zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file
ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking control.tar.gza from libpcap0_0.7.2-1arm.ipk

Can some tell me what's wrong?

Thanks

the link should work again now. Sorry, I must have erased it by accident

Thanks forrepairing the link. I THINK kismet work for me now: I don;t have an AP at home, kismet couldn't find anything but at least it's not giving me "cannot connect to server". Maybe I will go to a Starbucks tomorrow and see if I can detect any network.

First off, hello. I was really glad to find this site and have seen some great info so far.

I just got a 6000L and am attempting to get Kismet up and running. I have followed all the instructions throughout the site including the 6000L kismet instructions guide and what is on killefiz. I am getting an error when I start kismet: "Can't connect to the server." One thing I have seen is that I don't have the version of libpcap recommended on all the install guides (I can't find an active link to libpcap0_0.7.2_arm.ipk). If anyone has some advice to share I would greatly appreciate it as well as perhaps a copy of libpcap0_0.7.2_arm.ipk.

TIA

I guess I deleted it from my site by accident

thanks for the link skoorb. If anyone out there has had similar problems with "can't connect to server" I would appreciate some guidance on resolving the problem. I have all the right files now but am still getting the error.

Thanks

i guess you probably already tried the how to for this here

I had this problem after the link to libstdc++ was broken.


From the how-to:

CODE

2) In terminal:
su
Copy libstdc++ to /usr/lib. Make sure the file permissions match the other libraries. Create a link to libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3. (ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3)

But there may be other ways to cause this error.

Thanks for all the input. I am still having the same problem. If I run kismet from the term, I get the following error:

3769: Segmentation fault


Any suggestions?

Thanks

What version of Kismet are you trying to install? I never got 3.10 to work, but 3.0.1 worked just fine. Cacko ROM here.

[DrWily]

I thought we were talking about an SL 6000 here. Maybe I should see if I can get Kismet working on mine since I just got my SD memory in today.

[gnukles]

I tried 3.1.0 and 3.0.1c w/o success.

All the solutions offered were greatly appreciated, but the problem seemed to be elsewhere. So, backed out the whole install, re-downloaded everything, installed, configured, and it is now working fine.

The conclusion...a corrupted version of kismet was to blame.

What worked for me was as follows:

kismet 3.0.1c
kismet-qt 2
libpcap 0.7.2
libstdc++

Thanks for all the help. Maybe this ordeal will assist another person who has "tried everything"

Hi, all
I think I have followed the howto but kismet_server tells me:
"no valid packet sourced defined"

kistmet-qt can_t connect to server.

Any hints?

Hello,

I followed the instructions. Received no error or warning messages.

I created the war-walk connection and it works.

While connected to war-walk, I launch kismet via the icon.

It opens to the configure screen. I choose Sharp Prism2 and tap restart.

When the restart is over, it says "Can't connect to server"

I've tried other settings, but they all return the same message. Our entire facility is wired. Could it be a security setting on our wireless? Or did I botch the install some how?

I've also tried connecting via my normal "work" network profile. Then launch kismet. Same thing is returned "Can't connect to server".

Thanks,
Roger

Two possibilities.

Is your "war-walk" configuration staying up and connected? - I.e. is it in ad-hoc mode? If it is then connect to that and run kismet from the command line and see what it says. Properly configured without a client talking to it - it will run and report an initial snif and then exit.

Otherwise it will most likely tell you exactly whats wrong.
