grep the output of airodump

[B34ST1Y]

I'm trying to write a script that needs to read the BSSID's that airodump spits out. Is there a way I can do this? obviously a simple parse, grep doesn't work.

best bet is using awk,

cat test-01.txt | awk -F "," '{ print $1 }'

for example will display all the BSSID's and client MAC addresses you captured in your dump.

BSSID
02:18:F8:F9:73:F6
02:18:F8:F9:73:F5

Station MAC
00:13:10:3D:82:0F

Python quickie :

# let's say the Airodump's file is called "temp.cap-01.txt" :

capFile= open( "temp.cap-01.txt", "r" )

# headers to get rid of:

s1 = ( "BSSID, First time" )
s2 = ( "Station MAC, Firs" )

for line in capFile:

# get rid of the headers:

        if not line.rfind(s1) != -1 and  not line.rfind(s2) != -1:

          
#print first 16 chars:

            print  line[0:17]

capFile.close()

There is also a new tool in aircrack-ng svn written by my friend TheX1le called airgraph-ng which is a python parser for airodump. It gives a graphic image but I'm sure you could add a few lines to output the essids into a list.

You can get it here svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/branch/airgraph-ng airgraph-ng

and here is a screenshot of it

That is VERY cool! Downloaded it, gave it a try and BOOM...cool nodal relationships in nifty graphical form!!! Thank you Mr h@te for the info!
