metagpsd

Python script that sends location updates from gpsd to a Kismet server.

Added in Kismet 2022-01-R3, data sources may use the metagps option. This script is intended to be used alongside a Kismet remote capture tool with a source using this new metagps option. Kismet MetaGPS Reference

Special thanks to @ckoval7 and his work on kisStatic2Mobile for the inspiration!

Installing

Install using Pip

git clone https://github.com/hobobandy/python-kismet-metagpsd
cd python-kismet-metagpsd
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

NOTE: Start the capture tool with metagps option before running metagpsd. Kismet needs to create the virtual gps before accepting metagpsd location updates.

WARNING: Prior to 8 April 2024, Kismet's average location will include 0,0 locations that will skew the average. Start metagpsd as soon as possible after the capture tool.

Example

• key1 should have admin or datasource role
• key2 should have admin or WEBGPS (custom) role

$ sudo kismet_cap_linux_wifi --connect <ip>:2501 --apikey <key1> --source wlan1:name=remote0,metagps=remote0 --daemonize
$ python metagpsd.py --connect <ip>:2501 --metagps remote0 --apikey <key2>
