Kismapping is a WiFi heatmapping tool which consumes Kismet output and produces a heatmap. It also serves a google maps web page with the heatmap overlaid on top.

Originally inspired by work done by Tom Liston (@tliston) on a tool named "mykismap".

If you do not have stack, install stack.

Then, from the project's root directory, run stack build.

Run stack install to install an executable on your system. The default installation path is $HOME/.local/bin, but stack will tell you its destination path.

After building, if you want to run the executable without installing it, run stack exec kismapping -- <args>. Otherwise, see Install for installation details, and use the kismapping command.

Currently, the command line interface is not very intuitive. I'm going to rework it slightly to fix that soon, but for now just go with the example at the bottom of this section, it should help you do what you want.

If you want to use the web interface (which you almost certainly do), you will need to get a Google Maps API Key to use from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

You'll also need a gpsxml and netxml file from kismet, both in the same directory. You will need to use at least the following arguments:

• -i - Gpsxml file
• -e - ESSIDs
• -k - Google API Key

For example, the following command would generate a map containing the ESSIDs FBI_VAN and The Promised LAN:

kismapping -e FBI_VAN -e 'The Promised LAN' -i Kismet-data.gpsxml -k ThisWouldBeYourGoogleApiKey

See the command help for further information.

• Document code
• Put version constraints on dependencies
• Better command line interface
• Use new kismet output format (we currently use the format from the stable release).
