Title: Kismet On 3.5.3?
Post by: radioz on January 31, 2005, 12:51:06 pm

I just picked up an Ambicom WL1100 card for my 5600. Plugged it in and it seems to work ok so far.

I'd like to try playing with Kismet, but cant find it in the feed. Has anyone had success with it in 3.5.2? If so, where did you get it and how did you install it?

Thx

[OOps: the title should have read: 3.5.2. Sorry!]

I have the one from OE compiled, but I need to reflash my Z before I can test it and submit the changes.

Not sure if this (http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?submenu=zaurus/zaurusheader&page=zaurus/wardrivingapps) is of any use as its for 3.5.1 but im assuming the instructions should work for 3.5.2 as well.

Personally I just use wellenreiter, trouble free install and works without error.


EDIT
If you follow those instructions kismet works fine on 3.5.2 (5500), even Kismet-Qt works (needs the compat libs). For some reason Kismet-Qt didn't come with an icon? so I just made a desktop file and all works fine.

I've heard wellenrieter is good, but I think kismet is worth at least a little extra effort to get it running.  If I have it right, kismet is a passive sniffer which means you're invisible, whereas wellenrieter is like netstumbler which sends out probe request to see who responds.  If a wireless router doesn't respond then netstumbler/wellenrieter won't find it.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong.
