Probe Sniffer

Probe-Sniffer screenshot

🐱 Custom — built for this fork (not in the original firmware).

Passively logs the 802.11 probe-request frames that nearby phones and laptops broadcast while searching for known networks — showing which devices are around and the network names they leak.

Controls

  • A — pause / resume
  • short B — device list ↔ rate graph
  • hold B — exit

Views

  • Device list: each probing device's source MAC, hit count, signal, and the last SSID it asked for (or (broadcast) for wildcard probes).
  • Graph: probe-requests per second, plus distinct-device and total counters.

Listen-only. Useful for presence detection and privacy awareness (many devices leak the names of networks they've joined before).
