Kismet is different from Wireshark Kismet primarily focuses on representing devices - access points, clients, bridged wired devices, sensors, Bluetooth entities, and so on, while Wireshark focuses on displaying a deep dive of specific packets and all the content. The logs generated by Kismet can be fed into other tools (the pcap, handshakes, and other data) like hashcat, aircrack, and more. Kismet is largely focused on collecting, collating, and sorting wireless data. Kismet is not an attack tool (generally) - to test your Wi-Fi security check out tools like Aircrack-NG or the Wi-Fi Pineapple.
Kismet operates almost entirely passively, with a few exceptions (such as Bluetooth scanning mode) noted in the documentation for those capture types. Kismet is a monitoring tool for wireless - originally only supporting 802.11 Wi-Fi, with the right hardware Kismet can now capture Bluetooth advertisements, BTLE, nRF-based wireless mice and keyboards, weather stations, wireless thermometers, switches, smoke detectors, 802.15.4 / Zigbee, ADSB airplane transponders, AMR wireless power, water, and gas meters, and more.
