KisWin - A Windows Kismet Client

The Project

I developed this program so I could have a native windows GUI for Kismet. It does nothing by itself, it is merely a client which is able to connect to a Kismet server running on a linux machine.

!!THE PROGRAM IS LARGELY UNTESTED!!

Currently it supports such features as:

- Parsing Networks and thier clients
- Channel Locking
- Loading individual protocols
- Alerts
- GPS Data parsing and Network heading (currently untested and only mode available is avarage center)
- Microsoft Speech Function for discovered networks
- Sound notification
- Both Metric and imperial systems
- Open/Load XML files, not the format supported by kismet though

Planned features:

- Image signal display in the treeview
- More fileformats
- Stuff

Open Source

The project is written in, the perhaps old, Visual Basic 6. The reason why i choose this is because i know it :) and it is pretty easy for people to understand, if they wish to study the code. The full source is available in the download section.

How to:

Using the program is pretty straight forward. First you need a Kismet server running with a supported card. This can be rather tricky, my setup is using the Back|Track distro with my Cisco Aironet A/B/G card which has the Atheros Chipset, or I use my inbuilt Intel 2200BG card. To start a pure server which i can connect to i use the following:

kismet_server -c madwifi_ab,ath0,Cisco -a 192.168.0.10 -p 2501 -b INADDR_ANY

or

kismet_server -c ipw2200,eth0,Intel -a 192.168.0.10 -p 2501 -b INADDR_ANY

Where i specify which device and driver to use, along with which IP to allow and which Port to run on. Then i run KisWin and press Connect, enter the ip of the server and connect!
