Site survey scan?Forum: Networking Topic: Site survey scan? started by: awdark Posted by awdark on Aug. 27 2006,20:46
I would like to know if there is a way for me to scan for networks around me. I have tried to use Synaptics to install Kismet, but my lack of linux experience didn't get me far. I had tried Auditor linux in the past and kismet used to be a little button I could click. I got to the point where I had to login to root to do a "scan", but I could not get the program to do anything interesting. It was unable to see anything so I don't think it was actually working. I am using a Dlink DWL 122 USB dongle that works great for wifi on this distro. I do not need lectures about scanning, hacking, and overall stealing wifi. I have my own DSL and routers. It would just make life easier if I could go to a public hotspot, do a scan to see whats avalible then enter the SSID into the Prism2 GUI. Thank you. (Open to kismet howto or similar scan apps) |
