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. |
