It now works with the updated version of the remote protocol. It should still work with the old version too, but I haven't tested it.
TCP location updating proxy for Kismet Remote
This software sets up a proxy server between your Kismet remote capture source and Kismet Server. This proxy looks for data report packets with static location information and updates them with location provided by gpsd.
It has been tested to work with:
- kismet_cap_linux_wifi
- kismet_cap_linux_bluetooth
- kismet_cap_ubertooth_one
- kismet_cap_bladerf_wiphy
- kismet_cap_nrf_52840
Please help by testing other capture sources!
- Minimum Python version: 3.6
- Set up gpsd per your OS's Instructions
- You'll need the gpsd-py3 library. Run
pip3 install gpsd-py3
These instructions assume your Kismet server is properly configured to receive remote TCP (legacy) connections.
The proxy should run on the same device as your capture sources and gps.
By default the proxy will listen on 127.0.0.1:3500
-
Activate Kismet server, make note of the IP. In this example, we'll use
172.16.0.100 -
On the remote host, run kisstatic2mobile.py:
Example:
kisstatic2mobile.py --send 172.16.0.100:3501 -
Activate your capture sources (up to 5 at once, but the limit can be adjusted in the code) Make sure to define a static location so the proxy has a location field to edit.
Examples:
kismet_cap_linux_wifi --connect 127.0.0.1:3500 --tcp --fixed-gps 39.5,-75.5 --source wlan1:name=rpiMobile-wifikismet_cap_linux_bluetooth --connect 127.0.0.1:3500 --tcp --fixed-gps 39.5,-75.5 --source hci0:name=rpiMobile-bt
Usage: kisstatic2mobile.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--listen=IP:PORT IP Address to listen to. Default 127.0.0.1:3500
--send=IP:PORT Kismet Server Address. Default 127.0.0.1:3501
