00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.940
If we want to use Kismet, we'll need to install it.

00:00:03.140 --> 00:00:04.720
If it's already installed,

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:07.150
such as if you're using Kali Linux and most of its

00:00:07.150 --> 00:00:09.180
configurations, we'll actually need to remove it.

00:00:09.740 --> 00:00:10.320
So first,

00:00:10.450 --> 00:00:13.410
just browse to the Kismet Wireless website and go to the

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:17.620
Downloads section. In the Downloads section, select the

00:00:17.620 --> 00:00:19.350
Kismet package repositories.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:21.870
Now from this page,

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:24.660
select the packages that go with the distribution you're using.

00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:28.970
We're using Kali Linux, so I'll simply scroll down to the Kali Linux section.

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.580
And if you're using any other distribution,

00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:33.790
feel free to scroll down to that distribution.

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:38.490
All we need to do from here is start by removing Kismet if it's installed,

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:42.920
which we'll do by using apt remove kismet, and then we need to copy

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.460
and paste these four commands in the terminal.

00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:51.160
So I'll copy the first one, and I'll open a terminal.

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:57.190
Before I paste it, I'm doing apt remove kismet to be sure

00:00:57.190 --> 00:00:59.670
that it is uninstalled. All right, it is uninstalled.

00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:03.260
I'm pasting my clipboard,

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:07.260
and this will add the GPG key of the Kismet repository to my

00:01:07.270 --> 00:01:12.060
apt. I'm simply going to continue and copy and paste these four

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:24.410
lines. And here we go, Kismet is installed. Now, Kismet is not

00:01:24.410 --> 00:01:28.740
made to be executed as root, but it does create a group called Kismet,

00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:32.550
so we need to add our user to that group to be sure we can run Kismet with

00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:36.930
our own username without having to elevate privileges. So we'll do that

00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:44.810
with usermod ‑a, to add, ‑G, a group, kismet,

00:01:44.810 --> 00:01:46.930
which is the name of group, followed by g,

00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:50.250
which is just my username, so replace that with your username.

00:01:50.740 --> 00:01:54.750
Now that we've done that, we need to log out to be sure that everything is fine.

00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:55.740
And in fact,

00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:59.270
since it's a virtual machine we use only for this, I'm just going to reboot it.

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:04.540
Now that I've rebooted,

00:02:04.590 --> 00:02:08.759
I'm simply going to try executing Kismet to see if it's installed properly.

00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:11.900
It seems to be installed.

00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:12.620
It is running,

00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.900
even though there's no interface configured yet. So, our first

00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:18.660
step installing Kismet has now completed.
