Discover mobile devices using wifi
<p>I'm doing some work for my theses in networking, and have stumbled into a little problem. One of the first steps in the work I must do consists on having a computer working as an AP (I am using hostapd for this) and with it, detect all the devices in the room which currently have wifi turned on (do not need to be associated with any AP).</p>

<p>I have found a thread that pretty much asks the same ( <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5820456/discover-mobil-devices-using-wifi">discover mobil devices using wifi</a> ), and I understand the answers that were given, but they don't give any hint as to how this can be done. The post ends saying that the person was able to do this using Kismet, however I can only seem to use Kismet to discover clients already associated with an AP.</p>

<p>Can someone point me in the right direction here please? If not using Kismet, then maybe suggest a different tool that works with Ubuntu.</p>

<p>Ps. I will need to run a continuous scan of the "room" to find any new devices and then send this information to an event manager written in Java.</p>
