Kismet is a wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SDR, and other wireless protocols. It captures and analyzes wireless traffic with a web-based interface and is actively maintained.
Use cases
- detect nearby wifi networks and devices
- wireless intrusion detection
- capture wifi packets for analysis
- monitor bluetooth and sdr signals
- wardriving and site surveys
- find rogue access points
When to choose
- you need passive wireless monitoring and IDS on Linux
- you want a mature tool with a web UI for wifi scanning
- you need multi-protocol capture including SDR and Bluetooth
When to avoid
- you need a simple GUI-only wifi scanner on Windows
- you want active penetration testing attacks rather than passive detection
- you need wired network monitoring
