Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and
-intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which
-supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and (with appropriate hardware)
-can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet also
-supports plugins which allow sniffing other media such as DECT.

Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting
standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden
networks, and inferring the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data
traffic.
