I just finished a Backtrack 5 install on my Samsung Galaxy S phone. I will detail out the steps to get it running most Android phones. While this method was ONLY testing on my Galaxy S (Vibrant) but should work with other devices.

The purpose of this post (like most of mine) is to take my notes out of evernote and make them available. The goal for this post was really just a quick way to get Kismet up and running and then viewing the output quickly.
I purchased an Alfa AWUS036H a few months ago and it came with the “high power” (5dBi) antenna. After plugging in a booting into Backtrack 4 (r2 at time of writing). I found that by default it is only operating at 10% power.

ax0n over at h-i-r.net inspired me to attempt and successfully build this project . His 3 part series (part 1, part 2, part 3) is Awesome (capital A), and he certainly deserves the all the credit for doing the heavy lifting and providing an excellent write up. I used it as my template throughout the entire process.
