Wireless Site Survey Software
Does anyone know of any wireless site survey software that exists for Linux? Either general software or one capable of performing a predictive site survey?

kismet - readily available tool for sniffing out wireless connections, also available to run on your Linux handheld such as a Sharp Zaurus or possibly a ipaq running Linux.
http://www.kismetwireless.net/ Auditor Live CD - Lots of wireless tools on a bootable live CD (like knoppix) http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/Auditor_mirrors Also take a peek at http://www.linux-sec.net/Wireless/Sniffers/ |
I use iwlist which comes with the installation of wireless tools.
|
iwlist doesnt' exactly offer an easy way to translate things in to RF maps.
Does Kismet do that? I got it running, but I didn't see anything in the help that would indicate how I could do that. |
If I am not mistaken kimset is like netstumbler.
|
Refer to the Kismet documentation

Thanks farslayer. I saw that, but it didn't really give any information on how you set that up, capture the data, pass it on to the map program, etc. Do you happen to know if there is a tutorial anywhere for that?

Sorry I'm not going to read all the docs for you, google is your friend.
Skim the docs for kismet, gkismet, and gpsmaps what you need is all there. Google search kismet gpsmaps There is TONS of information out there on the Internet about using Kismet for wardriving. Theres utilities like gpsmap (Which is part of kismet and will be installed when you install Kismet) for creating maps locally, theres utilities for putting the map data on google maps, etc.. etc.. http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/gpsmap.1.html |
I didn't ask you to read all the docs for me. I asked you if you were aware of a tutorial for setting up kismet to make an RF map as the site really just mentions its possible and doesn't really describe how to do it. I've found many good tutorials that way and usually the same tutorials seem buried deep within google if I happen to get the right keywords at all. If you didn't have one, thats all you had to say.
