Kismet doesnt log

[biejay]

When I Close Kismet and it logs the Data to the km file for Example, i can't find the file. Neither on the sdcard nor the usr/kismet/ location?

[binkybear]

It should be saving to /captures/kismet

[biejay]

At first everything seems fine: still looks good (btw: doesnt matter when i erase or dont erase them) So it looks when i open it in explorer:

Ah my fault. Found it finally in the Distribution and were able to move it to the sdcard manually. Unfortunately the funtion to move it to the sdcard doesnt work.

[binkybear]

Just tested commit and issue appears to be fixed, writing to /sdcard now.

[biejay]

Okay nice. How do i update? Apt-get Update?

[binkybear]

Well it's not quite that easy...

The permissions were not set for /sdcard/kali-nh correctly previously. So you could do it manually. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) From adb type:

chmod -R 0777 /sdcard/kali-nh

If you want to update kalimenu you do that from inside chroot:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/master/menu/kalimenu -O /usr/bin/kalimenu
chmod +x /usr/bin/kalimenu

Or you can wait for next update. =)

I just posted a similar problem in the pwnie express forum, basically describing the whole logging issue. I was so far able to test the nethunter image for about 5 days now and I do like a lot of the new features the pwnie express pwn pad is lacking, for example being able to use other wifi adapters. I am also excited about the bad usb and evil keyboard attcks (kinda remind me of the hak5 rubber ducky...great product), but the logging issue is major, especially for network traffic analysis.

I am eager to try out any new patches, fixes, please keep this thread going.

@nuuser - The next update will include the fix but you can try to do it manually with the steps I provided. It would require you to use TWRP and know how to use adb.

Cool, it worked! Took me some time because I was busy, but I just followed those steps and successfully copied my log files to the sdcard folder. Thank you.

I was having the same issues as well and followed the workaround and after the updates the menu option copied over the files and made the directories. I am now unable to see the files on my PC for example in the directory when connected over USB but via SSH into the Nexus 7 they are there.

Looking back when the menu script executed the copy I see the rsync error: failed to set times on "/sdcard/kali-nh/captures/." Operation not permitted (1)

Is this because rsync was trying to create the dir? Any ideas on fixing this?

EDIT: Looking more at this.. The reported error was because the captures folder was already there. I have tried deleting the captures folder from within kali-nh and re-ran the script. It worked - no errors except now in addition to it creating the captures folder and sub-folders its creating another captures folder with duplicate data and none of it is visible in windows explorer via USB. I have also ran the delete captures menu option and that threw permission errors. Also re-running the export option still produces the same duplicate folder structure.

Thanks guys in advance for the help.

I think I found the issue. Should be:

rsync -avOP /captures /sdcard/kali-nh/captures

You can try removing the captures folder on sdcard. Then if you want to update kalimenu:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/master/menu/kalimenu -O /usr/bin/kalimenu
chmod +x /usr/bin/kalimenu

Just wanted to report in that the fix binkybear provided works great and after I updated kalimenu again no errors now on copies and the logs are also showing in Explorer. Thanks for getting this resolved.

@rummonkey - Thanks for testing and appreciate the feedback.
