WifiScanMap

Scan and map all 802.11 access point, stations probes and Bluetooth peripherals.

Initially inspired by https://github.com/cyberpython/WifiScanAndMap , this projects aims to play with common radio networks: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

You can read an article on Hackaday.

Using tools such as iwlist, hcitool, or airmon-ng and a gpsd gps to logs data in an SQlite database, it provides a web HMI to monitor data processing and analyze already mapped data.

It was tested on recent Debian / Ubuntu and a flying Raspberry 1. Plane

Installation

sudo apt install npm
npm install -g bower
bower install
sudo apt install gpsd aircrack-ng bluez
sudo python scanmap.py -m
xdg-open http://localhost:8686

Features

  • locate Wi-Fi access point and its metadata bssid, essid, signal and encryption
  • locate itself thanks to already known access points
  • if using airmon-ng (-m otpion)
    • record all probe request: bssid, essid
    • record all stations: bssid, signal, date and position
  • if hcitool is installed
    • record all bluetooth stations: bssid, name, classe, date and position
  • synchronize data to a remote server (running the same program, with -e option)

It was tested on a Raspberry Pi 1 with a Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth usb dongle.

Main page

This page allow you to see your GPS and Wi-Fi computed position on a map, and all access point already mapped. Clicking on point gives you additional informations (date, bssid, encryption, manufacturer...) Main Page wifis

You may also want to display all stations which crossed your way. Each point with the same color correspond to a unique bssid.

Main Page stations

Offline page

This page allows you to see currents datas received (probes, stations, access points...) without map in order to be available withou internet connection Main Page stations

Probes page

On this page, you will see all probes request count and how many access point you know with this essid. Main Page stations

Clicking on a probe will display all mac addresses which made the request. Main Page stations

Station page

This may be on of the more interesting one: given a station bssi, its location history will be displayed on the map, with all probed networks. Main Page stations
