Wellenreiter And Kismet On Cacko

[maslovsky]

- But it never finds anything.  There are two networks visible from my house, and Kismet finds them both.  Wellenreiter just scans and scans and comes up with nothing.  Ideas?...

I found out that if you use Socket/Symbol card and you use a dummy ad-hoc network connection, then this card will get stuck to the channel you've specified!  Wellenreiter simply cannot switch channels. This seems to be a bug in orinoco dirivers.

The workaround is instead of connecting to a dummy ad-hoc network type the following commands before starting wellenreiter:

cardctl scheme qpewlan0; cardctl reset;

This will keep the card "awaken" and will not lock it to any particular channel. It's also suggested that the first wireless connectino you create with Network Setup is using managed mode, not ad-hoc.

“..Kismet.. looks for the kismet.conf file at /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf” how did you fix that please?

Sorry I don’t know what a soft link is.

Try this link for a quick tutorial on what to do when you get Kismet up and running

http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article118.php

there is another article on that site about cracking WEP, that follows a demomstration given by the FBI using forced disassociations and replaying authentication requests to generate enough of a sample to give aircrack something to work with.

http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article111-page1.php

The following article gives a good bit of info on WEP and is a good source of links to other tools and their usage.

If you want to dabble further into this world then the following is a fantastic site by an older Finish  gentleman very much targeted at those of us who tend to ask "Why", just don't visit it using M$ IE !

Now, open /opt/QtPalmtop/etc/kismet/kismet.conf with your favourite editor =)

- I installed Kismet from the v1.23 feed last night, and it looks for the kismet.conf file at /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf, for some reason.  Don't recall it doing that in the past, but a soft link fixes it straight away.  Gotta love Linux!  (wolfish grin)
- This version has handy enablehost settings for hostap and orinico already.  Nice!  But it won't work with my Symbol card unless I leave hostap_source in force.  Says "FATAL: channel get ioctl failed 19:no such device" if I enable orinoco_14.  Weird.
- Wifi never finishes connecting with the recommended setup.  The little lightning bolt is on the connection applet, and it just flashes balefully at me.  The card looks dead ... no blinky lights or anything.  Eject and reseat.  Ding!
- Now it says "FATAL: Failed to set Channel 6 110:Connection timed out".  Additionally, my WiFi link says "No Connection detected." and it disconnected me.
- If I eject and reseat the card, then change back to orinono_source, I get "FATAL: Could not find 'monitor' private ioctl ... <blah><blah>" followed by "No Connection detected" and a disconnect.  Looks like I need to check a lib ... though I've never had this particular problem when installing Kismet from the Cacko feed before.  (shrug)

- I've always had a ton of trouble getting Kismet to work, but once it works, it's a very nice tool.  Wellenreither has always been just the opposite ... it's very simple to configure, but it rarely finds anything.  (bemused grin)

- Just some ramblings from the peanut gallery on this cloudy afternoon...

Ragnorok, while my Kismet connection was totally automatic with an earlier version of kismet, and a beta cacko, ( plug and play ) - I experience now the exact same symptoms you describe. ( In the past I used the hostap driver with my symbol card, and no "fake" network and it just worked. I installed it, launched kismet and all was good )

Have you found any solutions? I have tried all the advice in this thread - and no success with my Symbol card. ( Wellenreiter works, and my Ambicom card also works, when following tomoe's advice re. VT-100 terminal. But I would like to use my Symbol card...)

[Kerensa]

I'll add my two cents. I have a C3000 with the Cacko beta. Installed libpcap, libopie1, libopie2,  and wellenreiter from the cacko feed, but when I ran from terminal the app wanted the older version of libpcap (0.7.2). Found this version and installed it. Tried this for a bit with different cardctl commands before running wellenreiter, no luck. But it was at least running now.

What got the scan up and going is running wellenreiter from the terminal and AFTER it was going connect my card to the wireless ad-Hoc described http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/cus...ml#wellenreiter

Any ideas on a cleaner method?

[gsgmx]

for me Wereiller work very well, but kismet says error opening terminal: vt100.
killing server...

and then stops...

Tomoe to the rescue!

Actually, I was dealing with this (among others) problem for the last half an hour, just finished troubleshooting.
Try entering these commands in shell:

sudo kismet_server

(now open a second shell tab and enter this there:)

export TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo
kismet_client

Let me know if it works this way.

Hi Tomoe,

yeah that helped here too!
and with an additional

export TERM=screen

before your export TERMINFO gives me kismet with colors.    

i needed also the link for kismet.conf Ragnorok wrote about.

@rebski:
ls -s /opt/QtPalmtop/etc/kismet/kismet.conf /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf

also had to create a dir /var/log/kismet

Thats quick and dirty to get it working here, will try to optimize that setup, probably the k.sh startup script could be made functional by inserting these exports there.
 - if i find time to do and test.

Great, I will update kiemet package in the feed!

I was having similar trouble to others in this thread....  i'm on cacko 1.23 on a c1000.  

I noticed a couple additional things:
- ioctl errors and it sorta working when wellineter running seems to be due to dhcpd running.  Killing it (as root) makes them go away for me.  
- the permissions on kismet_client were 744, while the other kismet bins were 755.  This made kismet.sh not be able to start the client and fail.

hope that helps some!

Kismet is only producing .dump files, the rest (.csv, etc...) are empty.  Is this a bug or a config setting?  The older kismit I used with older Cacko did not have this problem.

Thanks.

Nevermind.  The writeinterval was set to 300, and I was not waiting long enough.

[loc4me]

can anyone tell me the difference between Kismet and Wellenreiter? Is one better than the other at some tast? Thanks.

[cmonex]

love this thread. helped me a lot, got wellenreiter up and running after four  earlier unsuccessful attempts!!!!

trick was: uninstalling the version of wellenreiter i had and getting the one recommended by thread starter. then su - and then wellenreiter (from console). got some errors in the console but it works fine after setting wlan0!  

(order of installing the libs doesn't matter? i installed the wrong version wellenreiter first then the three libs, in a wrong order again. then uninstalled only wellenreiter itself... all this after a rom reflash.. cacko 1.23 btw)

Hey guys, got kismet to show a color screen!  Borrowed an idea from over in the sl-6000 area.  Made a script to start kismet.  Called it oddly enough startkismet..

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

export TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo
export TERM=screen


kismet
Add that to /usr/local/bin/  chmod it 777 then at a prompt type startkismet.  Ta da!  Now to get my gps working.
