+Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion
+detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw
+monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic.
+
+Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting
+standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden
+networks, and inferring the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.
