If you want to talk about what this looks like in a fully functional environment, give me a shout. You would be surprised to know what people are trying to do to your wifi. AlienVault includes a Wireless Compliance module that helps organizations that require PCI DSS compliance. This module was developed using the information provided by Kismet, an Open Source wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. The PCI DSS module includes reports and statistics needed to perform a PCI DSS audit successfully. To run this module you must have kismet installed in your wireless sensors that feed the system with information about wireless networks in the environment that it is being monitored. Kismet is an 802.11 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic (devices and drivers permitting). Kismet also sports a plugin architecture allowing for additional non-802.11 protocols to be decoded. Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting networks, which allows it to detect (and given time, expose the names of) hidden networks and the presence of non-beaconing networks via data traffic. Kismet will work with any distribution of Linux. Currently, Linux is the recommended platform for running Kismet because it has the largest selection of rfmon capable drivers. Kismet is distributed under the GNU General Public License. In order to install Kismet in your Sensors you will need a wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode. Kismet Documentation includes a list of known supported wireless cards: Atmel_USB, ACX100, ADMTek, Atheros, Cisco, Prism2, Orinoco, WSP100, Drone, wtapfile, pcapfile, wrt54g, ipw2100, rt2400, rt2500, rt73, rt8180, ipw2200, ipw2915, ipw3945, iwl3945, iwl4965, iwl5000, iwlagn, iwl5100, iwl5300, Broadcom 43xx This tutorial was written using a Wireless Card with the RT8718 chipset.
