I'm pretty sure Kismet can handle all the 802.11 variants mentioned. It's a must-have tool for any ethical hacker like John. Now, if only I could use it to hack the vending machine on the 3rd floor...

This is a straightforward question. Kismet is capable of sniffing all the listed traffic - 802.11n, 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g. As an ethical hacker, John needs to be well-versed in these wireless protocols.

Kismet can definitely sniff 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a traffic. It's a powerful wireless sniffer that can handle multiple protocols. The question is a good one to test our knowledge of the IEEE 802.11 standards.
