Kismet
Hi to all,
I have a laptop with Windows XP SP3 pre-installed and I am running Backtrack 3 Final under Virtual Box where I have also installed it.
Does anyone else came across with the same error when trying to use KISMET? The version of kismet I use is (2007.09.R1)!
Launching kismet_server: /usr/local/bin/kismet_server
Suid priv-dropping disabled. This may not be secure.
No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled.
Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, madwifi-ng)
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'madwifi' in source 'madwifi_ng,eth0,alexandros'
Done.
My eth0 configuration:

I am going to guess that you have a Atheros based card as you are using madwifi_ng as your capture source. You are not going to get this card to work in a virtual environment, inside VirtualBox or VMware, with kismet as it is an internal card and not connected through USB.

I don't think his card would show up as eth0 if it had an atheros chipset. based on this
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say your card probably doesn't support monitor mode and therefore kismet will not work even if you installed BT on the hard drive. just a guess though could be wrong.FATAL: Unknown capture source type 'madwifi' in source 'madwifi_ng,eth0,alexandros'
I have an Atheros based wireless PCMCIA card yes.
To be more specific I use the Ubiquiti SRC 300mW wireless card which should normally work in Backtrack 3 as it is also specified in backtrack 3 wireless HCL.
Are you 100% sure that I can't do any of the wireless hack stuff under Virtual Box.By the way I can access the Internet using Backtrack 3 through Virtual Box.It got also an ip address from my DHCP enabled wi-fi router.
The strange think is why this card it is not listed when I am trying the iwconfig command?
It only shows the card when I use ifconfig and as I said before it comes with the eth0 instead of ath0 or something similar!
Please give me any suggestions. I will appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Virtual machines don't talk directly to the hardware, except for usb. Any other device will be bridged in software to show up as a regular ethernet device in the vm. Usb devices will still work correctly because you can enable them in the vm. It's the same with parallels, vmware, and whatever that hack is that windows uses.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Cheers my friends!
Any suggestions for a cheap USB wireless adpater that will work out of the box in Backtrack 3 under Virtual Box?
Thank you very very much!
