Probe.js NodeJS tool to capture, track, and analyze 802.11 WiFi device probes

Features

  • Detect and identify devices within about 50 feet before device owners even see you.
  • Know who is at your door before the doorbell rings
  • Learn about employees by seeing what hotels and airports they've been to
  • Name MAC addresses and filter probes for specific devices or people

Potential Uses

  • Frequently, airport and tourist hotspots show up in people's device probes. A story is carried with every device.
  • People's probes are named after cafes or home networks. You can guess a lot about someone's hobbies or interests by their probes.
  • Theoretically, affairs could be detected if Probe.js noticed two co-workers' phones both suddenly probing for "Hilton Hotel WiFi" on a Monday... They might've been there together on Saturday!
