New Toy
Yeah, I finally got to buy myself a new geek toy.
Its Microsofts (Yes I paid for a M$ product) Streets and Trips 2007 which came with a GPS locator. So now I can wardrive and find my way around.
Heres the whole package I have not even tried the DVD yet, just the GPS Device.
The Black thing is the adapter (USB > GPS) and the block thing is the GPS + Antenna.
See its SMALL! Thinking about velcroing it to the back of my laptop (probably not though)
The adapter with protectors taken off.
Connected together, this image is kinda bright sorry.
The whole reason for gettig it. GPSDRIVE in linux (Backtrack v2.0) Tooks some messing around but it works!!!!
A close-up of GPSDRIVE, Thats my real location.
Kismet is connected to GPSDRIVE and now I can follow the location of Wifi-Aps and plot them on GPSDRIVE.
Heres how I got it to work.
Make sure GPS and wifi card are plugged into computer.
Start backtrack.
Open a terminal
type "su mysql"
then "mysql_install_db" (might be mysqld_install_db) not sure right now.
Once the mysqldb is installed start mysql
"mysqld_safe &"
now cd to "/usr/share/gpsdrive"
type "exit" to get back to root user
then type "mysql -u root < create.sql"
This creates the gpsdrive sql database.
Now fireup gpsd (check dmesg to see which device your gps is)
mine was ttyUSB0 which is not an actual device its really /dev/tts/USB0
so start gpsd "gpsd /dev/tts/USB0"
make sure its running "pidof gpsd"
now start gpsdrive
"gpsdrive /dev/tts/USB0"
you may have to go into "Preferences" on gpsdrive and change the device to "/dev/tts/USB0"
After a bit it should start plotting your Gps location.
Then fireup kismet from the backtrack menu.
Tada!!!!
UPDATE!!!!! If your using an Orinoco/Avaya/Lucent Silver card DO NOT!!! upgrade it to the Orinoco Gold firmware. The card still works in windows but does not work for Kismet in Backtrack v2.0. I now have to find another card for Kismet. Bummer.
