……
…… (just change these 2 lines)
suiduser=taufanlubis
source=ipw3945,eth1,addme (your capture source)
……
……
suideuser is your user id
ipw3945 is your wireless card chipset modul.
How to know that ipw3945 is the right module?
You can check using command ‘lspci‘
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
Now, I know that my chipset is Intel Wireless 3945.
Then, how could I know which module that I should use?
The list is available at www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shmtl
Sample of Capture Source:
Source type: ipw2100 Intel/Centrino Linux ipw2100-0.44+ http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ The Linux IPW2100/Centrino drivers for 802.11b cards now support rfmon, so here's support for them. They act more or less like any other wireless interface would. Source type: ipw2200 Intel/Centrino Linux ipw2200-1.0.4+ http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ The Linux IPW2200/Centrino drivers for 802.11bg cards support rfmon as of 1.0.4 and firmware 2.3.Signal level reporting requires radiotap be turned onin the makefile while compiling the driver. Noise levels are not reported. Source type: ipw2915 Intel/Centrino Linux ipw2200-1.0.4+ http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ The Linux IPW2200/Centrino drivers for 802.11bga cardssupport rfmon as of 1.0.4 and firmware 2.3.This is the same as ipw2200 but defaults to scanning the 802.11a channel range in addition to 802.11b/g.Signal level reporting requires radiotap be turned on in the makefile while compiling the driver. Noise levels are not reported. Source type: ipw3945 Intel/Centrino Linux ipw3945 http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ The Linux IPW3945/Centrino drivers for Intel Core 802.11bga cards.
As you see, Chipset Intel 3945 a/b/g uses ‘ipw3945’ source.

is by sniffing via kismet could reveal the
password of the captured Wireless networks?
😛 ubuntu user is asking here.
🙂
You now better la.
You have to use tcpdump, to see ‘text’ around access point area (entering userid/password via unsecured web).
For hacking wireless, better use combination of
-airmon-ng
-airodump-ng
-aircrack-ng
but it will depend on your wireless chipset coz some not support it. (I suggest older version of atheros)
