  1. The ESP32 Has Quietly Become One of the Most Interesting Hacker Devices Alive

    Expensive hardware often becomes ornamental. People baby it. They curate it. They build identities around owning it. Cheap hardware gets modified until it resembles evidence recovered from a flooded basement.

  6. Wardriving wasn’t only reconnaissance. It was mobility. As you moved through a city or town, your card could drop one SSID and latch onto the next. Coffee shop, library, offices, video rental stores, etc. The connection followed the street grid. Connectivity became something you drifted through.

    You learned which blocks handed off cleanly, which APs were stable and which ones choked under load. It was RF cartography and opportunistic roaming at the same time. Cities and towns weren't just mapped, they were stitched together by signal.

  7. Got fed up with #wigle's web interface and started loading my #wardriving records into #qgis instead.

    Overly complicated and massively overkill?

    Yes... but it is working.

  8. This is a detail of the data that the hover shows; AP hash and estimated distance in meters (also thinking about give this data on "Emperor Penguin" units just for lmao) also shows the latitude and longitude that are blurry to keep some privacy.

    BTW: the colected data about AP (stored on FlipperZero) is a hash to keep some privacy.

  11. Today I'm dealing with some improvements on CSV processing of WiFi Map for FlipperZero and its ESP32 companion github.com/carvilsi/flipper0-w

    Drawing circles over @openstreetmap for estimation distance to detected APs during "warwalking" to the grocery store.

    Despite implementing a basic cli I'm close to release the processing code.

  14. Here I was thinking the KISS protocol support was going to be hard ✨

    Actually this flew together, mostly bc @meph already did all the hard stuff on KISS handling.

    So just check which output mode we're in and yeet the data at the BLE data KISS port.

  15. I found out which plugs you have to take to use the #Lilygo #CC1101 #expansion ports: "4pin sh1.0 plug"

    Now you can use the
    #Serial / #UART or #I2C expansions for connecting #IoT sensors.

    Plug cable:
    - white, yellow - data
    - red - 3.3V
    - black - ground

    I will connect a
    #GPS for #wardriving soon.

    Where can I buy it (use a search engine of your trust):
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=4p%20sh1%2C0%20plug&t=ffab&iar=shopping

    Stay tuned and follow me if you don't want to miss it and I'll tell you what you can do with the device.

  16. Anyone have good hashtags for #wardriving and #datalogging ? I have been thinking about a project to really just start logging as many signals and fingerprints as possible. Ideally on a #BikeTooter friendly size. I’m mostly curious about whatever existing autonomous systems, or connected systems exist in rural areas.

    I’m very much a novice at this. Any links or anything would be appreciated.

    Here is a picture of a deer on my bike as an offering.

  17. Anyone more in tune with @CoD_Segfault #wardriver plans know if the v2 of their mini is going to be released online or via physical purchase at #defcon 33?

  18. I didn’t make a new hard hat for #defcon this year. I thought about it but my hat last year got such a good response it deserves at least one more year!

    I did give it a few upgrades though, including some glasses.

  19. It’s my @WiGLEnet #nerdAversary! 20 years since my first upload!

    I got myself another 3,400 APs in a drive with all the tools. My wife and the dog tagged along for this momentous occasion.

    Love the community, the makers, the coders, all the awesome folks out there putting #dotsOnMaps

  24. New in 1.6- Tweak scanning options from the SD card. Speed mode for battery. No more optimization releases for a while 😎 🛜

  25. Pixel 6 @WiGLEnet users any verdict on Android 14? My P6 is prompting to update but I don’t want to wreck a good thing, as this phone is a BEAST for #wardriving in so many ways.

  26. Realized I never posted my high-tech #wifi antenna mounting system on the truck.

    One zip tie, one 8db wired antenna with magnetic base, done. Looped the wire around the luggage rack, zip tied, connected to the #wiSpy, one on each side of the roof. Holds at 70mph!

  27. I ran @WiGLEnet on the car media system in our camper while we traveled the last 3 weekd, and it recorded the position of my wifi hotspot - with the faulty GNSS system.
    Therefore the edges of my wifi's position are:
    - Iceland (westernmost)
    - Switzerland (southernmost)
    - Sewernaja, Russia (northernmost and easternmost)

  28. Day 3 of #FlToAz lands us in AZ after 13:33 more hours of driving, 806 more miles to cap 2,350 or so total miles in 3 days.

    Results from the Core Prime, S7, S9, and Pixel 6 uploaded. Shows the Pixel is a BEAST not only for battery but for everything else #wardriving.

    On @WiGLEnet more then 3,900 new APs and an amazing 560 new cell towers, all along the I-10 corridor!

  29. Spent my weekend building then playing with the #WiSpy - an Arduino-based #wardriving kit from #Hackerboxes (HB89) - and now I'm shopping for a hardhat to mount it to like @MrBill #MakeShitMonday

  30. With a little to minor surgery inside the @MrBill case to improve clearances, the @HackerBoxes #WiSpy is looking damn nice!

    A little hot glue to stabilize the display and it’s golden!

  31. I’ll fanboi one more time on the #WiSpy rig - the Bluetooth and WiFi performance is amazing!

    Top to bottom - WiSpy, Galaxy S8, Galaxy Core Prime, Galaxy S7 Edge

    And that’s with

  32. Finally nice enough to get out on the bike. I noticed that there were about 5 or 6 blocks with no #wiglenet data within biking distance from my house. No idea how I missed them. Picked up nearly 1300 new APs. #AllTheWifi #wardriving #warbiking

  33. Woot! Spend part of a day off in #wardrive mode, get back into the Top 100 #wiglenet!

    Richfield/Edina, I am disappointed in your spotty coverage! Had I looked at the Wigle Map closer before I went, I’d have covered a bunch of untouched space!

  34. Hey @wiglenet did anyone see the total networks with locations roll to 1 Billion? Just noticed!

    #wardrive #wiglenet #dotsOnMaps #wardriving

  35. Hanging onto the top 100 on #wiglenet and just passed 2 million Bluetooth observed, 1.976M with locations.

    Wonder how BT many are real vs BLE randomized MAC addresses

  36. "snoop on to them, as they snoop on to us"

    Finally got my airtag, let the reverse engineering begin. Working on airtag specific features for rfparty.
