Hi All. I need real assistance getting Airsnort, Kismet, and other wlan related tools installed and running on Linux. I've pulled out enough hair over the matter.
I'm a networking consultant living on the Peninsula, working around much of the Bay. I've been integrating 802.11x into my life and work as voraciously as we all have. But getting Airsnort, Kismet, and wlan-ng to do anything useful on Linux has been so far impossible. The problem is always compilation probs, dependencies that fail during the compile -- Sometimes it's undefined expressions or some code crap that refer to internals on the chipsets (prism, etc.). This, at least on Linux, is over my head right now. I tried compiling on RH 7.2 & 8.0, both fresh OS installs with every package included but the kitchen sink. Tried a few pcmcia package updates. Tried a Prism (Linksys v3), an Orinoco (though not a fully supported one), and my sweet little Cisco 352. PC is a Thinkpad; cards are all PCMCIA. So what I need is someone with sufficient WLAN-analysis-on-Linux experience who I can hire (or bribe with beer and pizza). I need to get the useful assortment of tools up and running on one of my boxes. At the very least: WEP cracking capability, Kismet, and making Ethereal 802.11-savvy. My needs are fully legitimate and professional. Who knows, I'm sure there are other areas I'm into, that I can assist you with in return if possible. I'm firmly on Linux here, preferably Redhat. If I can politely ask the BSD guys to refrain from put downs, I'd appreciate that. :) But you're patient enough to get me from zero to functional with the WLAN tools on BSD, that would of course be wonderful. I'm just personally further along with Redhat right now. Much thanks if you think you can help. Email me personally at [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
