<<< Backtrack 4 pre-release is out now which has an newer version of Kismet. For BT 4 pre-final this page is not applicable >>>

Kismet

The Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 wireless adapter, which is build-in in my laptop is now supported by Backtrack 4 using the iwlagn drivers.

Warning: only use this tooling on a network and on computers which you own or have permission to do this. In most countries it is illegal to use it on a network you do not own without permission of the owner.

The source-name for kismet is iwl4965, so you can start kismet using the following command:

kismet -c iwl4965,wlan0,wlan0

as an alternative you can edit the kismet.conf file and change the source parameter.

airodump-ng

For airodump-ng it is necessary to first create a monitoring VAP interface:

airmon-ng wlan0

now, a mon0 interface is created, which can be used by airodump-ng:

airodump-ng mon0
