Kismet Freaklabs Zigbee Support

- UNDER DEVELOPMENT -

    The zigbee support in Kismet is under heavy development, and not all features
    are complete at this time;  specifically, there is currently no PHY decoder 
    for 802.15.4 in Kismet; this means Kismet *will log 802.15.4 packets to
    the Kismet databaselog, and to pcap files* but will *not detect or display
    zigbee devices at this time*.

    If you'd like to contribute to the Zigbee effort, swing by the Kismet Discord
    or IRC channels (via https://www.kismetwireless.net) or hit me up on Twitter
    at @KismetWireless; pcaps of wild zigbee data will be greatly appreciated.

- FREAKLABS ZIGBEE - 

    This datasource supports the Freaklabs Zigbee line of products, available
    at:

        https://freaklabsstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=215
        and
        https://freaklabsstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=216

    It likely will support any other hardware which can run the Chibi-Arduino 
    environment or the SenSniff firmware.

    The Kismet sensniff driver is based on the Sensniff python implementation available
    at:
        https://github.com/freaklabs/sensniff-freaklabs.git

    Support for other devices will come in other drivers.

- CONFIGURING YOUR FREAKLABS DEVICE -

    You will need to configure your Freaklabs device to run the sensniff firmware;
    At its most basic, this means:

        - Installing the latest Arduino environment (likely newer than your distribution
          packages)
        - Installing the Freaklabs board definitions in the Arduino IDE
        - Installing the Freaklabs chibi-arduino library in the Arduino IDE
        - Building the chibi_ex10_sensniff example
        - Installing the sensniff firmware on your Freaklabs device.

    The complete directions for configuring Arduino for Freaklabs are available at 
    the store lists for each device in the manual PDF.

- INSTALLING THE FREAKLABS DATASOURCE -

    The freaklabs-zigbee Kismet datasource uses the Python interface to Kismet; you will
    need to install the Python modules.  This will be done for you in most situations;
    check the output of `./configure` for more information.

- CONFIGURING KISMET -

    Freaklabs devices are handled as a 'freaklabs' source.  Because they use a standard
    serial port interface, Kismet cannot automatically detect them; you will need to 
    provide a source definition for each device, for example:

        source=freaklabs:device=/dev/ttyUSB0,name=freak1,band=900

    will tell Kismet to initialize a Freaklabs device on /dev/ttyUSB0, and that it is
    a 900mhz Freaklabs device.

    Additionally, the Freaklabs sources take the following options:

        device=/path/to/device

            Path to USB Serial device.  The user Kismet is running as must have 
            read/write access to this device.
    
        band=800|900|2400

            The radio band this device is capable of tuning to.  Different hardware
            is required for the different bands.

- ZIGBEE BANDS -

    802.15.4 / Zigbee operates in up to 3 bands.  You will need a device for each band.

    800 - Channel 0, European band, single channel
    900 - Channels 1-11, US/Intl ISM band
    2400 - Channels 12-26, US/Intl ISM band
