Super Cantenna + Linux + Kismet

Could not resist buying the Super Cantenna when visiting Defcon 14. I have been curious on how well it really works, and now I decided to give it a try. A long with the Super Cantenna I bought a new Orinoco Gold Card. I sold my previous 2 Orinoco Gold cards years ago, and I have regretted it ever since.

2006.04.R1 of Kismet with the 0.13e Orinoco driver.
The Orinoco driver installed and loaded to the kernel smoothly on a Fedora 5 with the 2.6.16 kernel.
However, remember to remove any old orinoco modules from the kernel.

# rmmod orinoco_cs
# rmmod orinoco
# rmmod hermes

Load the new modules

# modprobe orinoco
# modprobe hermes

# iwconfig ethX "your settings"

Start your wifi net warwalk, or should I say war sit?
Wardriving, warwalking, sofawardriving is really interesting. It's extremely is to set up, so give it a try. Take a look at the internet traffic that flows thru your apartment every second.



The Cantenna really rocks with Kismet and Netstumbler (Windows only).
