kismetdb 5.1.0

A python wrapper for the Kismet database

Kismet DB abstraction

Quickstart

Install with pip install .

In the Python interpreter:

import json
import kismetdb
kismet_log_file = "kismet/database.here"
alerts = kismetdb.Alerts(kismet_log_file)

# Get alert metadata
all_alerts_meta = alerts.get_meta()
for alert in all_alerts_meta:
    print(alert["header"])

# Get payload from all alerts
all_alerts = alerts.get_all()
for alert in all_alerts:
    print(json.loads(alert["json"])["kismet.alert.text"])

Included scripts

Alongside the Python library, several commands are installed:

• kismet_log_devices_to_json

• kismet_log_to_csv

• kismet_log_to_kml

• kismet_log_to_pcap

Following any of the prior commands with --help will provide details on usage

Testing

In order to test, you must place a kismet sqlite log file at tests/assets/testdata.kismet_4 and tests/assets/testdata.kismet_4, which are Kismet version 4 and 5 databases, respectively.

Testing happens in a Docker build process:

Testing for Python 2.7:

docker build .

Testing for Python 3.6:

docker build --build-arg PY_VER=3.6 .

Testing for Python 3.7:

docker build --build-arg PY_VER=3.7 .
