Oct 06 2007 2007-10 Long time in coming, Kismet-2007-10-R1
Basic 802.11N support (IE tag parsing)
Airpcap 11n header support (PPI)
DBUS support for controlling NetworkManager
Significant memory reduction in server/client
Significantly faster client code
D80211 device support (iwl, others)
Darwin (OSX) native support
Revamped madwifi-ng support
GPSD anti-jitter handling
Innumerable bug fixes (encryption detection, device
handling, client crashes, etc)
There have been many options added to the config file,
be sure to update your configs!
Oct 06 2007 devel Added trackiv option (set to false) to turn on IV tracking
(previous default behavior)
Added kismet-watchdog script in extra/ from JeanII
Fixed radiotap detection on netbsd
Oct 04 2007 devel Added 11n IE tag decoding and display
Sep 28 2007 devel Added DBUS support for controlling networkmanager
Added ath5k support
Sep 27 2007 devel Started moving struct elements to dynamic allocation
vs. static maps
Sep 24 2007 devel Added support for Cace PPI DLT
Sep 20 2007 devel Enabled channel hopping on wrt54g source - Packagers, you
should probably turn OFF channel hopping by default in
the packaged config files on wrt54 platforms.
Sep 16 2007 devel Added tracking of send-to clients which are inferred from
data destined TO them with no data FROM them. Only
the last modified time is tracked on these clients.
Sep 15 2007 devel Added anti-jitter to gpsd handler to compensate for current
gpsd implementations toggling 2d/3d
Sep 01 2007 devel Merged 2 more patches from Jean to add network expiration
and memory limiting for very small-resource platforms.
Aug 28 2007 devel Merged patch from Jean Tourrilhes to change how logging
handles temp files
Aug 24 2007 devel Added iwl4965 source
Fixed bringing down interfaces during config tests
Aug 18 2007 devel Rewrote 'kismet' wrapper script to be a C program which
properly handles stderr/stdout and queues error output
for replay on exit, also handles timing on long-startup
sources (like darwin warnings) properly
Aug 18 2007 devel Aliased b43/b43legacy for broadcom driver split
Aug 13 2007 devel Aliased iwl3945 for ipw3945
Aug 03 2007 devel Tweaks to Darwin source handling
Jul 25 2007 devel First pass at battery support for Darwin
Jul 24 2007 devel Backported WEP display from newcore to only show WEP if no
expanded crypto options are available
Fixed lurking bug where networks with WPA improperly got
WEP40 set as well
Jul 23 2007 devel Added madwifi-ng support for Linux-2.4
Added vap teardown code for madwifi-ng
Updated README
Jul 22 2007 devel Revamped channel fetching system to use last ack'd set,
rather
than fetching live. This should reduce the load by 4 or 5
syscalls per packet, a good thing. (And enable channel
display
on Darwin capture sources)
Throttled channel control down to the rate at which it can
acknowledge that a set succeeded
Jul 21 2007 devel Added Darwin card type detection to properly use Broadcom
cards
Added Darwin channel control
Jul 04 2007 devel Added beginnings of Darwin support for OSX-Intel (atheros)
May 30 2007 devel Removed airpcap radiotap set since it results in
non-deterministic behavior on some configurations
Mar 07 2007 devel Aliased rt73 source (same as rt2500)
Feb 13 2007 devel Fixed scrolling (again)
Added ifconfig down to wext monitor mode for dscape
Feb 10 2007 devel Fixed long-standing bug in new network info in
kismet_client
Feb 08 2007 devel Fixed scrolling in kismet_client
Fixed handling of bursty traffic in kismet_client
Fixed gpsd parsing when lock forcing is used
Merged patch from Alan Grow for RSSI and better signal
plotting in kismet_client
Feb 07 2007 devel Fixed mis-detecting some networks as WEP
Fixed not assigning crypt types from data frames
Added TKIP and CCMP detection in data frames
Jan 25 2007 ***** SVN ate its face off, bulk commit of previous patches from
time of last SVN backup. Sorry everyone.
Jan 25 2007 devel Fixed several minor errors including closing -1 fds
Jan 25 2007 devel Fixed gps file being left when gpsd not available
Jan 24 2007 devel Added significant optimization to manuf lookups
Fixed manuf lookups in the client
Reduced client memory requirements
Jan 22 2007 devel Added daemon mode on request
Jan 17 2007 devel Fixed compilation on 2.4.x linux kernels
Merged patch from Kili fixing use of unsigned ints as
fds (eliminates warnings and potentially bunk error
messages)
Jan 16 2007 2007-01 Minor patch to properly #ifdef around a linux source
And again.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Hi,
I'm really interested in a newer version of Kismet
so I would like to help update the ebuild
I guess the patches have to be ported to the newer version...
is there a good tutorial on how to to that?
I really would like to help, but have never done that before
I can confirm that,
but I guess the patch was gentoo-related
when I compiled it, there was a warning about some missing things
(ignore that right now)
and when quitting from kismet itself, there was a segmentation fault:
kismet[18701] general protection rip:2b3834bc24ee rsp:7fff7681e718 error:0
I tested the binary generated by the ebuild and did not get any errors or
segfaults.
*** Bug 197460 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hi. Any progress here?
I confirm that no segfaults nor other, builtime or runtime, errors here
(amd64).
If it helps, a new Makefile patch is included as an attachment.
