Setting up Email for Alerts

Open MyProjectExpert opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Kismet has feature that provide WIDS (Wireless Intrusion Detection System) with alerts. The best I can determine is that alerts are stored in log files.

i have a Pi Zero honeypot that sends emails when my ports are scanned and get early warning of intrusion

Is there a way to have email sent on alerts? Does this functionality currently exists?

This doesn't exist - sending email is probably not something that would be a core part of kismet.

If you run kismet via systemd, it will log output to syslog. There's also an example plugin which takes alerts and sends them directly to syslog.

There's also python-kismetrest which will talk to the server and let you easily extract info, like alerts, and take action on them; I'd suggest using one of those to do custom alerting.
