Jun 25 2004 devel Removed net/bpf.h since it isn't needed and isn't present
in some systems

cygwin seems to have broken constructors for that
(thanks JM)
Added checks to hopefully bypass fetching channels from
down interfaces under hostap which led to failures from
driver crankiness
Jun 14 2004 devel Added channel to alert tracking and protocol
Jun 13 2004 devel Merged fix from Million to repair delta calculations and
fix playing the correct sound for traffic
Jun 10 2004 devel Expanded alert protocol to carry source, dest, bssid, and

Created "None" packet source for default config to stem
the new people being confused with cisco errors
Modified packetsource unmonitor_ code to not print warnings
about not leaving monitor mode cleanly if not relevant for
all active packetsources (ie, pcapfile and drones don't
warn about trying to disable rfmon)
Jun 06 2004 devel Merged patch from Michael Scherer to fix gcc3.4 compiling
May 30 2004 devel Fixed docs for OpenBSD
Merged patch from KW which should fix the problems on 64bit

channel detection with drivers that report channel
number instead of frequency
May 14 2004 devel Fixed segfault issue with too-large packets inside
pcapsource. As far as I can tell this can only be
generated by a flawed driver so it shouldn't be a
security issue. Root is dropped for pcapfiles so this
should be safe from that angle, too.
May 13 2004 devel See, I haven't abandoned you all, just been really busy
Kluged out compile errors on some vendor-modified kernels
that include ethtool.h in wireless.h
Updated config file version and took out defunct examples

now
Proper handling of signal and noise levels in dBm
Feathered range circle drawing mode (translucent fading
edges to range estimations)

Background map color saturation control (Desaturation
percentage control instead of pure greyscale)
Background map intensity control (Overlay map
translucently over white or black)
Revamped and extended network labeling support

Apr 04 2004 devel Merged patch from Jamie for channel dwelling (multisecond
channel hopping)
Apr 02 2004 devel Fixed bug in gpsmap cache that assigned the same id to all
points, eating an entire file if any points were filtered.
Code cleanup - Fixed several -pedantic warnings in gpsmap
Various other -pedantic cleanups
Flagged networks as dirty after a sort op to force a
resort even when disconnected
Made gpsmap cache creation errors nonfatal
Mar 31 2004 devel Fixed gpsmap cache error reporting mistake
Changed 'best signal' and 'best noise' stuff to handle dBm
Fixed signal recording for wext
Changed text in panel signal window slightly
Fixed gpsmap to count actual valid samples instead of all
samples in a file when determining if any samples were
collected
Added --color-saturation and --map-intensity to gpsmap to
change the greyscale desaturation and overall intensity
of the background map image.
Mar 30 2004 devel Tentative support for calculating SNR from signal levels
in dBm for Kismet and gpsmap

Fixed error in tcpclient reading new major/minors
Added Null mapsource for blank background to gpsmap
Mar 27 2004 devel Fixed Mapblast map source in GPSMap, left Earthamap as the
default however. (Thanks, poptix!)
Fixed mapblast user-scale
Mar 26 2004 devel Added feathered scatter plot drawing to gpsmap. This is
VERY slow but produces some nice effects in combination
with channel coloring to show saturation in an area.
Tweaked feather circle center drawing
Mar 25 2004 devel Added binary caching to gpsmap, this more than doubles
the speed of gpsmap when repeatedly processing the same
sets of XML data.
Mar 23 2004 devel Tweaked gpsmap channel color allocation
Tweaked legend drawing to scale to US 11 channels if
there are no networks on higher channels. This makes
the legend look much nicer.
Mar 22 2004 devel Added --feather-range to gpsmap to blur network range
circles into invisibility. Imagemagick is very very
poorly documented.
Fixed various other bugs in gpsmap
Fixed various bugs with feathering and some data sets

Added autoscale map selection to Earthamap and Terraserver
Marked Mapblast and Mappoint sources as defunct
Added earthamap script to makefile and cvs

Total didn't make much sense.
New gpsmap labeling method, labels now drawn in the order
given, added new labels, bssid, ssid, manuf, info,
location
Tweaked labeling
Mar 18 2004 devel Fixed expat error
Mar 17 2004 devel Tweaked gpsmap to error out on no sample points

and fixed a compile warning on acx100
Tweaked configure/makefiles to not allow 'make gpsmap' if
it wasn't enabled by configure
Mar 16 2004 devel Tweaked acx100 source to match acx's new orinoco-esque
method

the valid points back to stdout.

during the initial NETWORK enable seed
Mar 14 2004 devel Split gpsmap sample manipulation voodoo off into its own
file for other utils to tie into

programs to use
Mar 13 2004 devel Updated readme, added client column lists
Added unmonitor support for madwifi
Added switch to gpsmap to use old pure-average network
center finding code
Moved fifodump out of logging, fifo will still happen with
'-n' now
Added fourth optional parameter to source= config lines to
set the initial channel
Updated spec file
Mar 12 2004 devel Changed sound exec to dup2 /dev/null instead of closing
stdout and stderr, should prevent sox being mad about
not having output paths
Mar 11 2004 devel Made blanking SSID during entering monitor mode a nonfatal
condition. Should alleviate difficulties with some
drivers (prism54, maybe cisco)
Added large-file checking and defines, should overcome the
2GB file size limit on systems that support it
Changed versioning (again) - YYYY-MM-Release.
Mar 10 2004 devel Fixed a segfault in the client command protocol
Improved error reporting for madwifi monitor mode
Mar 08 2004 devel Fixed a segfault with a 0-length macaddr struct (exposed
by an empty manuf map file). No security implications.
Changed ifdef block in pcapsource, added ifndef to
compensate for pcap on some platforms
Mar 07 2004 devel Fixed another bsd compile error
Revamped error reporting to print errors to console even
when silent if there are no clients. Should force showing
fast-startup errors that got hidden before.
Mar 04 2004 devel Fixed undefined function error on BSDs introduced from
other error catching
Fixed stupid config test copy and paste bug for GMP
Reordered orinoco monitor commands
More major gpsmap updates
Total rewrite of interpolation. Previous code was
terminally broken. New interpolation algos are MUCH
more adept at handling "generic wardriving" data.
Moved interpolation to only process "relevant center"
(see previous gpsmap update) instead of every point
Fixed legend drawing when using default network colors
and doing power interpolation
Tweaked orinoco channel control - should eliminate errors
seen with some older drivers and -devel
Mar 03 2004 devel Rewrote gpsmap network-center guessing to find groups of
sample points and use those
Started rewriting gpsmap to use GMP for math. GMP is
now required.
Added support for ADMTek cards

Merged ifdefs from Thomas Dettbarn to fix compiling on
some freebsd systems

messages

drivers, correct exiting of rfmon on new orinoco drivers
Added new orinoco capture source orinoco_14 to handle the
changes in the new orinoco 0.14 cvs tree
Feb 25 2004 devel Fixed expat parsing the new kismet version strings
Feb 24 2004 devel Fixed prism2_legacy (wow, someone still uses this) to trim
the FCS off the frames correctly, and to mute the wlanctl
commands
Added more intelligent error messages for the interface
going away in the middle of a capture.
Feb 22 2004 devel Merged FreeBSD patch from Sam (with some changes):
* Renamed to radiotap_fbsd_X (me. radiotap_freebsd_x was
just getting kind of silly to type.)
* Split source into ab/a/b, like MadWifi

Tweaked wext header finding, added big warning
Feb 13 2004 devel Reordered stuff in configure for some distros being cranky

any real world effect (both fatal conditions anyhow)
Feb 09 2004 devel New devel cylcle started
Added check of new makefile.in and configure to makefile
Feb 09 2004 Feb0401 Released successor to 3.x with new versioning scheme. Enjoy
the new stable release, hopefully beginning a more monthly
release schedule. Everyone should upgrade to this release
and don't forget to look at the readme for changes in card

migrated monitor mode and channel change to ioctl calls
for greater speed and efficiency

parsing, allocation bugs,
* Much improved packet dissection and validation,
duplicate IV detection
* Countless other bug fixes to protocol consistency,
OSX support, variable initialization, CSV output, and
more.
Feb 09 2004 devel Changed major-minor-tiny designation to new versioning
scheme, Month-Year-Release# to match the new versioning
scheme. *KISMET protocol now carries 'newversion' field,
everyone writing their own clients should update to this.

Merged additional patches from Sam for FreeBSD/Radiotap
Jan 25 2004 3.1.0 Long-asked for, the panels client is now able to lock

follow soon.
