Changes and Updates

Kismet 2021-08-R1 brings a few notable updates:

• UTF8/Unicode support in the UI

  Kismet will now display non-ascii characters, emoji, and other similar encodings in the web UI. This also changes the broken octal encoding that used to be used for non-ascii characters and now uses proper octal encoding.

• New WIDS alerts

  Kismet now detects the VDOO RTL8170C exploits, and “funny” SSIDs that attack Apple products.

• Small tweaks and improvements

  Wigle CSV files now encode the Kismet version in the upload.

  Client names are used in AP lists.

  Initial support for environmental sensors connected to Kismet.

  ticc2540/2531 udev rules.

  Minor revamping of websocket timeouts.

  Regex filtering added to the wiglecsv converter.

  Quick copy-to-clipboard buttons for some common fields in the UI.

Bug fixes

• Handle URI parameters more correctly

• Don’t spin on “Loading…” in the datasource window sometimes.
