kismet server and drones

Kismet Drone(s) Setup -- Voyage Linux

# apt-get update
# apt-get install libpcap-dev
# apt-get install libnl-dev
# apt-get install pkg-config

Get kismet

# wget http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/kismet-2013-03-R1b.tar.xz

Create the kismet user

# mkdir /var/log/kismet
# adduser kismet --home /var/log/kismet

Compile kismet

# tar xf kismet-2013-03-R1b.tar.xz

# ./configure --disable-client
# make dep
# make

Install kismet and kismet_drone

# make suidinstall
# usermod -a -G kismet kismet

Configure kismet_drone (the Kismet Server is at 10.0.0.225/24)

# grep \#g0 kismet_drone.conf |sed -e s/\#g0//
servername=drone4
dronelisten=tcp://0.0.0.0:2502 
allowedhosts=127.0.0.1,10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 
gps=false 
ncsource=wlan0 

This is what I changed in the default kismet_drone.conf file.

 ncsource=drone:host=10.0.0.4,port=2502,name=dr0ne4
