-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 (with appropriate hardware) can sniff 802.11b,
-802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet also supports plugins which
-allow sniffing other media such as DECT.

standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden
-networks, and inferring the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic.
