                               the legacy remote capture protocol, specify the '--tcp'
                               option and the appropriate port, by default port 3501.
 --tcp                        Use the legacy TCP remote capture protocol, when combined
                               with the --connect option.  The modern protocol uses 
                               websockets built into the Kismet server and does not
                               need this option.
 --ssl                        Use SSL to connect to a websocket-enabled Kismet server
 --ssl-certificate [certfile] Use SSL to connect to a websocket-enabled Kismet server
                               and use the provided certificate authority certificate
                               to validate the server.
 --user [username]            Kismet username for a websockets-based remote capture
                               source.  A username and password, or an API key, are
                               required for websockets mode.  A username and password
                               are ONLY used in websockets mode.
 --password [password]        Kismet password for a websockets-based remote capture source.
                               A username and password, or an API key, are required for
                               websocket mode.  A username and password are ONLY used in
                               websockets mode.
 --apikey [api key]           A Kismet API key for the 'datasource' role; this may be
                               supplied instead of a username and password for websockets
                               based remote capture.  An API key is ONLY used in websockets
                               mode.
 --endpoint [endpoint]        An alternate endpoint for the websockets connection.  By
                               default remote datasources are terminated at
                                 /datasource/remote/remotesource.ws

                               error; exit immediately.  By default a remote capture will
                               attempt to reconnect indefinitely if the server is not
                               available.
 --fixed-gps [lat,lon,alt]    Set a fixed location for this capture (remote only),
                               accepts lat,lon,alt or lat,lon
 --gps-name [name]            Set an alternate GPS name for this source
 --daemonize                  Background the capture tool and enter daemon mode.
 --list                       List supported devices detected
 --autodetect [uuid:optional] Look for a Kismet server in announcement mode, optionally 
                              waiting for a specific server UUID to be seen.  Requires 
                              a Kismet server configured for announcement mode.

                               supplied instead of a username and password for websockets
                               based remote capture.  An API key is ONLY used in websockets
                               mode.
 --endpoint [endpoint]        An alternate endpoint for the websockets connection.  By
                               default remote datasources are terminated at
                                 /datasource/remote/remotesource.ws
                               This should typically only be changed when using a HTTP proxy
                               homing the Kismet service under a directory.  Endpoints 
                               should include the full path to the websocket endpoint, for
                               example:
                                 --endpoint=/kismet/proxy/datasource/remote/remotesource.ws
 --source [source def]        Specify a source to send to the remote 
                              Kismet server; only used in conjunction with remote capture.
 --disable-retry              Do not attempt to reconnect to a remote server if there is an
                               error; exit immediately.  By default a remote capture will
                               attempt to reconnect indefinitely if the server is not
                               available.
 --fixed-gps [lat,lon,alt]    Set a fixed location for this capture (remote only),
                               accepts lat,lon,alt or lat,lon
 --gps-name [name]            Set an alternate GPS name for this source
 --daemonize                  Background the capture tool and enter daemon mode.
 --list                       List supported devices detected
 --autodetect [uuid:optional] Look for a Kismet server in announcement mode, optionally 
                              waiting for a specific server UUID to be seen.  Requires 
                              a Kismet server configured for announcement mode.

kismet_cap_pcapfile

:~# kismet_cap_pcapfile -h
kismet_cap_pcapfile is a capture driver for Kismet.  Typically it is started
automatically by the Kismet server.

kismet_cap_pcapfile supports sending data to a remote Kismet server
usage: kismet_cap_pcapfile [options]
 --connect [host]:[port]      Connect to remote Kismet server on [host] and [port]; by
                               default this now uses the new websockets interface built
                               into the Kismet webserver on port 2501; to connect using
                               the legacy remote capture protocol, specify the '--tcp'
                               option and the appropriate port, by default port 3501.
 --tcp                        Use the legacy TCP remote capture protocol, when combined
                               with the --connect option.  The modern protocol uses 
                               websockets built into the Kismet server and does not
                               need this option.
 --ssl                        Use SSL to connect to a websocket-enabled Kismet server
 --ssl-certificate [certfile] Use SSL to connect to a websocket-enabled Kismet server
                               and use the provided certificate authority certificate
                               to validate the server.
 --user [username]            Kismet username for a websockets-based remote capture
                               source.  A username and password, or an API key, are
                               required for websockets mode.  A username and password
                               are ONLY used in websockets mode.
 --password [password]        Kismet password for a websockets-based remote capture source.
                               A username and password, or an API key, are required for
                               websocket mode.  A username and password are ONLY used in
                               websockets mode.
 --apikey [api key]           A Kismet API key for the 'datasource' role; this may be
                               supplied instead of a username and password for websockets
                               based remote capture.  An API key is ONLY used in websockets
                               mode.
 --endpoint [endpoint]        An alternate endpoint for the websockets connection.  By
                               default remote datasources are terminated at
