## kismet-201607R1p0 – 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and IDS

## Description

    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 infering the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data
    traffic.
