This is another All-In-One page for wireless monitoring solutions. The easiest is to use Kali Linux http://www.kali.org/ . Please follow a few steps to create bootable Live USB:
Kali Lnux
- Download ISO from http://www.kali.org/downloads/ or using wget command
http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-latest/amd64/kali-linux-1.0.4-amd64.iso
- Install bar package to show information about a data transfer. It is not required to write the image to usb.
apt-get install bar
- Copy image on usb drive. Please make sure that you use correct device to write the image as it will not warn you when writting. In ubuntu useful commands are: lsusb or mount
dd if=kali.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k | bar -s 15g
For persistance mode please follow this steps at Kali documentation http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install
Kismet
Kismet is installed by default in Kali linux. A few information to consider:
- it creates virtual interface for monitoring to minimise the WLAN interface reconfiguration in a system. The interface will be named by appendix mon. We can preview this with iw dev. It may also reconfigure your main interface into Monitor mode, check with iwconfig.
- it is client-server application by default listening on :2501 port
- when adding source use your mon interface
- requires root privilages to run
