Photon Map

Better than nothing beta, PLEASE READ

This is just a side project of mine and is in a very unfinished state. I was going to do more before releasing it, but I've been sitting on it for so long I may as well just put it out there. I encourage others to help out. This is written in basic JavaScript and is a good project to learn JS with, just as I have.

If you open an issue and ask for something to be fixed, I'll do my best to make sure it gets done.

Installing

First, clone the repo to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/ckoval7/photonmap
cd photonmap

Next, you'll need the Cesium JS library. The easiest way to get it is with NPM.

cd html
npm install cesium

This should create a directory called node_modules with a sub-directory called cesium

Running

This tool can be run from any web server, whether that's Apache, nginx, or even a basic Python web server. The quickest way to get started is:

cd html  # Only if you're not already in the html directory.
python3 -m http.server

What works right now:

  • Connects to a single Kismet server.
    • httpd_allow_cors=true must be set in kismet_httpd.conf
    • optionally set httpd_allowed_origin=http://url.of.photonmap:portnumber
    • Will show the location of all devices last seen in a user specified time frame. Use 0 for unlimited.
    • Will show ADS-B devices in 3D space
  • Allows the upload and display of static KML, KMZ, and GeoJSON files.
  • Can send location information to a Splat! RF Propagation modeling server.

What's planned for the future/open to contribution:

  • Allow connecting to multiple Kismet servers.
  • Add Sparrow WiFi front-end.
    • Back-end code is there, can even pull data, just needs user input fields.
  • Crocodile Hunter Support?
  • Make suggestions!
