Kismet is an open source network detector, packet sniffer, and intrusion detection system for 802.11 wireless networks. It identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of non-beaconing networks via data traffic. It can also detect a variety of other intrusions and anomalies. It runs on Linux, OSX, and Windows, and can be used with any wireless network interface controller whose driver supports raw monitoring mode.
