Raspberry Pi recently opened up the WiFi driver so can enter monitor mode on the built-in WiFi, so that may make it even more compact. This on a Zero with monitor mode on the inbuilt WiFi, now that would be something portable and discreet.
ahhh so thats what i wanted MVP version... i already have the 1800 2800 (and if im not lying the 4800) i figured wth since i have to pay again for another year... HF sure aint what it used to be. plus they learned how to spam the F out of you...
@KtotheL would it matter if it was $ 1000 ? If stalkers are trying to steal Intellectual property from you worth hundreds of millions then the price is not sooo bad yeah ? The 30 biggest countries on earth have agents funded and instructed to spy and steal data , innovations and information about the activities of other governments , corporations and individuals , They ALL do it , not just on defense material but everything from new medicines , food production and produce prices in your supermarket chains. There is no such thing as privacy anymore and no such thing as antivirus , firewalls or encryption , they can all be hacked , all you can do is make it harder for them to do it.
Very interesting. Every government agent, private detective, stalker, or mugger should realize that they are under constant surveillance as well as the unsuspecting public.
but they are humans , they can get lazy and make mistakes. I have even witnessed first nation countries making massive mistakes despite having hundreds of employees in security where they had vulnerabilities that a 10 year old kid could waltz right through. An example is the computer server of a defence agency had a login name of Admin , and password was also Admin , they had millions of pages of sensitive data stolen by a northern emerging nation.
Most people are ignorant beyond there own comprehension even those with high IQ(sometimes they can be the most brainwashed/hypnotized). Plato’s Allegory Of The Cave ring a bell….NO? You live a life of illusion and it’s so obvious. We are nothing more then modern day slaves are freedom is just a big illusion and the world is nothing but a stage. The hard part is having enough courage to see it then escape it. Most people unless things change will never know and by the time they do it will be far too late
They're easy to drop- your too smart for that if your in a forum like this. Go above their heads. What do you find... Hint: Wide Band Packet Sniffers, 24 hour clocks and SDR's are your friend. Super hint: NVG 825-1100 nM directional Good way to piss them off.
This is incredible!!! I have so much disdain for those who lack empathy for hardworking individuals. I LOVE what you said-there is no room for hate, but that doesn’t mean we have to tolerate these crimes either. I’m SO GLAD you intervened just in time to save that victim. This is why I follow your work, and I couldn’t admire it more. Thank you for protecting innocent people. Thank you for exposing criminals. Thank you DALE VALSKOV for doing what so many of us wish we could do. Keep fighting! Much love.
I treated my ex like a queen. I gave her everything she wanted, and more, but it wasn’t enough. Finding out that she was cheating on me was utterly devastating. The hardest part to accept is that she was in her 50’s, and sleeping with guys in their 30’s. Not because they were younger guys, but because I figured a 50 year old woman wasn’t capable of this. 6 years down the drain, but a valuable lesson learned. *Perry Moskva* is very calming and your insight is invaluable.
My gf had her vehicle tracked. Two cops talked to her and a third crawled under the vehicle and removed a device. A strore owner whitnessed the whole thing and after they left came out and let her know.

@TheHalfPriceHandymanthat's illegal where I live. You are not allowed to track from the inside of the car. But if a private detective puts one on the outside it can be legal, depending, imo.
i hear a click in my bulbs even in the dark when i am moving. I had a green light show up on my bedroom mirror because i made a sudden move...no kidding...
Some of them are doing it for gain in some ways or simply hateful!!! These are the real SICK! Ones that need mental help for grief caused to anyone!! In ANY ways and it's very evil and it's ruining destroying people's quality of life whoever it is knows very well they're a part of something wicked that will ruin people's quality of life or it's something to do with whatever it is not coming from good Lord above
The Lord's Love Is Free this country was found on freedom, I think those things are satanic and nothing that's coming from God above or using people that do such things to hurt others anyway someone using them for the right reasons to protect us is very different not what's happening wrongfully to harass citizens has been going on for a long time
Its SO DUMB that they make it so the batteries cant be changed. I bet you could just pry them open, change the cells, and silicone them shut and save $500
I put together something similar many years ago but just identified devices by MAC addresses but once MAC randomization was the norm I never dug deeper to mitigate that. Thank you for your contributions and I've got to check this out!
You could've done reading out the probe request. Aircrack-ng sniffs that long time ago since the age of WEP encryption before WPA/WPA2. Mac address randomization is bound to happen eitherway, but it's meh.. People never thought deeper..
I love and appreciate his approach towards making this device. He actually went out and asked the specialists what they use; he wasn't arrogant about the build. I really appreciate that.
I really want to appreciate this guy *Strategic techies* for giving me uninterrupted access to my partner's Locations. I always had a suspicion that she was seeing someone else. Good job
Interestingly enough, I have actually used similar tactics; Around April 5th my Wi-Fi Pinapple was duplicating networks dubbed "T-14, T-16..." etcetera. I recorded the MAC(s), and other related data. Mind you, I lived in the country. An area that had little-to-no traffic. Turns out, they were cop cars. This subsequently led me to track down the source with varying success
Couple months back went to a alarm and key shop and while i was waiting a woman pulled up and asked him if he could search her car for tracking devices , he was busy so he told her to come back later. I asked him about it and he says that a lot of people are stalking their ex girlfriends or ex boyfriends, and that many times hes found tracking devices on vehicles , very fascinating ... and scary
I really want to appreciate this guy *Strategic techies* for giving me uninterrupted access to my partner's Locations. I always had a suspicion that she was seeing someone else. Good job
Which reminds me, some of us at work had quite a lonely job which could have long pauses between bursts of activity so we turned on the radio to fill in the gaps. The problem was that radios were banned. So, someone installed a switch on the door to the room that would turn off the radio as soon as it was opened. We knew when the boss arrived unannounced because the radio went silent!
I’m glad to come across this. I had a sneaking feeling that there might be a AirTag or something on my car. Yesterday, I came across another RUclips video about turning on the “Item Safety Alerts”, but the option is completely missing from not only my new iPhone, but two other iPhones that both had the required IOS update. Has anyone else noticed this setting missing from their iPhone?
A friend and I were talking on the phone when we both heard, 'this call is now being recorded' with a split second pause and then, 'this call is no longer being recorded'. I did a hard reset on my phone and changed a bunch of passwords and disconnected the cloud from my files
We've been waiting for this. It's important that we keep documenting this for others. That while the hacking and other ridiculousness is occurring that we are watching those who are being watched. X'r 73 ⚖️
I think lojack has to be activated then it sends out as beacon signal. If anyone can explain i would listen. Looking for elaboration on how lojack works
@howardsmith9417Lowjack uses a separation trigger to initiate. If the Lowjack key fob is not proximal to the LowJack installed tracker during vehicle movement, the tracker alerts LowJack HQ who should also alert the customer via email, at a minimum. I'm not aware of the communication method or protocol that they use regarding a one-time ping on startup or a constant ping while driving. I'm also not aware if the tracker module will arm should someone move the vehicle without powering the electrical system.

Your service provider knows everything…… Many years ago I started to collect my log files and sorted it to see who was trying to acces my network. And many years ago I realised that the most traffic on my network was trackers. And it made no sense to try stop it.
The most important part is that faraday bag. Wifi, bluetooth, all that jazz is all radio. Keep radio out with a faraday. An emp is an explosion of radio. Faraday keeps your circuits safe from radio electrical interference

Haha. Can confirm from my work in Tampa at the SO JCSE unit next to SOCOM and people are people no matter where or who you are. We all have bad habits like that. SO or not.
The sooner people realize that anything transmitted over the air will never be safe then you will understand that there is nothing you can do other than don’t use .
@ktor1208 It's still essentially a tracking device. Your every move is triangulated by cell towers. That may or may not be a concern, depending on your threat model.
Google Maps (early on) was "creating Google Maps) with their vehicles, but was secretly war driving as well! Capturing WiFi packets and so on. Created a private map of devices in an area while taking a picture in the process. Chasing your tail giving folks the same ability to war drive with purpose. Well that is quite lovely! It isn't just capturing data for data sake. Although if you slap on a semantic layer , you could very well start asking a prompt in natural language (NL) to give you back info "What's the longest an address has been following me" and like clock work, you'd get this info back in NL. Just a matter of escalation and user friendliness. All stellar work, thank you so much for you sharing! - All the best
Ah that’s actually quite insightful, it ties an ip to a geographic location. Huh I never thought of that. Most places don’t allow that pinging though do they? Or it’s heavily restricted it seema
I really want to appreciate this guy *Strategic techies* for giving me uninterrupted access to my partner's Locations. I always had a suspicion that she was seeing someone else. Good job
You could put something like this on a drone if you were looking for a lost hiker in a remote area. If the hiker had a device on them but no reception they would still show up and the drone could cover a large area quickly.
No one talked about the possible vulnerabilities in the first 2 minutes when the stack is booting? I think this should be tightly secured and well thought out in both software and hardware aspects, but curious to know.
Old Wi-Fi devices used to broadcast the names of all saved networks, a big privacy risk, since anyone could track you by those SSIDs (“Ana’s Home”, “WorkWiFi”, etc.). Modern systems (Android, iOS, Windows) don’t do that anymore. They send mostly generic “who’s there?” probe requests and only a few targeted ones for networks they expect nearby.

Those that have caused this simple unnecessary grief when they could be doing something positive with their lives!!! Using it for good reasons is different, I've also had these kind of threats in the past, different kinds of threats, whoever it was knew I had a struggle with technology and phones and knows that I went through many and multiple different companies, vengeance is gods, all we have to do is simply pray for all the grief that's has been or is
You missed the premise of the whole video 🙄 it's not the fact that civilians are being tracked. True we knew that. But being able to reverse track them using a raspi is fucking awesome 😎 but geee thanks for stating something we already knew????
Most modern devices randomize mac addresses by default unless the user disables that. I think the blue tooth in cars also does that now but maybe not the majority. My brilliant cable company for the ease of installers use the customer 10 digit account # as the SSID if you get a wireless modem from them lol You can drive down the road and collect them if you wanted to.
the only thing missing is how to shrink it down to a phone size or turn the whole thing into a mobile app and plug the scanner device via otg of the phone
ESP32-C5 i believe have 2.4 and 5 wifi + BLE and zigbee/thread. I think you can probably re-write what he's doing in RISCV assembly/C and then have a device that fits into an altoids box. I'm looking into it. It could either have a small OLED screen + battery + keys like meshtastic or have a companion app on android and switch between communicating with the phone using bluetooth and searching on bluetooth wireless band. EDIT: GO CLIPPY ARMY!!!
You can minimise it definitely but you'll have to get creative with antennas and packaging If you consider whatever that little wireless SDR unit is called (dolphin or something) the white thing with an orange display
@NickTaylorRickPowers my idea would be thicc case as the whole device antenna and its looks normal you just slot the phone it and run the app to start scanning
You already can with an app, as scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth is done with many apps already, stitching it together, could knock and app version together with some AI assistance if needed, pretty easily, though would want dedicated phone ideally, but all very doable and been done kinda thing already. Heck been Kali full on phone pocket setups for many years already. What I was thinking is that given the requirements, such a task could be refactored to run on a tiny ESP32, which I will do one weekend, spent this weekend making a bios for an old IBM PC so can upgrade the CPU without bios lockouts, side quest. Maybe next weekend. I'm on a roll. 😅
Its like hiring a security expert to design a new uncrackable safe so he goes and hires the best safecracker to advise him on how to design a safe he cant even crack it, then they finish it nice and proud of thisnbeat of a safe, onky to find out that a month later someone figured novel way around it,
I built the same device to look out for my boss in 2014. even in 2017-8 I could collect hundreds of thousands devices (their macs and remembered networks) and know where do they live. I was lucky enough that I lived in the exact center of a touristy city. after I had my huge database I made a wardriving setup and drove over 150km over the city building a DB to crosscheck with the first db. I only needed a perl script and tcpdump (or tshark, I don't remember anymore) so it could be ported to a raspi at any time. there was a catch though: apple phones were giving out fake addresses unless they got a handshake because Apple was always more secure than android, then windows phone did so-so in not spamming their probe requests while androids were literally screaming WHERE ARE MY FAVORITE NETWORKS CALLED X Y AND Z????
I Built pi zero w 2 that I use to track vehicle Bluetooth MAC address (mostly older vehicle are static MAC not dynamic Mac), I can also stick one in a wave guide to monitor or hunt for Bluetooth with directionality. It has monitor mode that pushes all the data to web server to via cell phone Wi-Fi hotspot, and push alerts if a new or targeted device detected. I’ve flown it on drone to survey larger areas. I passively collect everything. It very close to the same thing, this guy doing though moving vs I’m stationary monitoring local air space. Cool to see others on the same wave length.
That's interesting! I did something similar to my Homassistant as a early detection thing! Kismet is great, but I've went with airodump running as a subprocess from a python script, I've tried bash but the CPU was heavily utilized I couldn't get it to work no matter what! The python script is looking for MAC and probes and the dynamic MACs are automatically rejected with a filter! Didn't give it a API yet but the output is in a log file and tranmits the findings over MQTT!
I was being tracked, no joke from a child abuse ring that i busted and reported to the police…the police covered it up-imagine that- got to the point where my face wouldn’t open my phone…all my passwords changed. Im going to figure this all out-great knowing its out there.
@downtown530 aww thank you-but yah all that stuff and the drugs are protected by the authorities. People find that hard to believe…but its like…hear of jeffery Epstein? I mean the names cant be released bc it involves like everyone. Insanity.
I've been through the desert on a NIC with no name It felt good to be out of the range In the desert, you can remember your SSID 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la
Excellent idea and execution. If I had a nickel for every Raspberry Pi project… really good work! I hope you monetize a kit and sell it and turn a tidy profit. You earned it!!
You can detect TMPS tire pressure sensors if you run SDR Sharp running a RTLSDR with the RTL433 plugin dll files saved. Set up auto logging. Drive around with the laptop, the SDR radio, a decent antenna to run 70cm band. Once you save your log data, create a pivot table of count then dig on the serial numbers that occur the most.
@switch733 tools like this existed 10 years ahead and were done online, at this point, they are using tools that are already premade for that and combinening it through AI with no knowledge of the harm that ppl can intercept you back and follow you based just of this... Nothing new really, what are you thinking a triangulation is for? same goes with GPS, nothing new at all, just other tools like airodump-ng put in one program generated by Artififial Intelligence when it could run in a fucking phone... Yeah it's a paranoid to use a full 200$ pack raspberry pi with display for one single use of it. (in a suitcase, like you're packing some treasuere) But ye sure "It's not paranoia"

If stalkers are trying to steal Intellectual property from you worth hundreds of millions then the price is not sooo bad yeah ?
The 30 biggest countries on earth have agents funded and instructed to spy and steal data , innovations and information about the activities of other governments , corporations and individuals , They ALL do it , not just on defense material but everything from new medicines , food production and produce prices in your supermarket chains.
There is no such thing as privacy anymore and no such thing as antivirus , firewalls or encryption , they can all be hacked , all you can do is make it harder for them to do it.
Dude is a legend
How to track the people tracking you that track others that they themselves track.
I'm sure glad!
Track addict smh
yeah, that tracks
im a track baby

Hi Jack……
This is another level 😂
Very interesting. Every government agent, private detective, stalker, or mugger should realize that they are under constant surveillance as well as the unsuspecting public.
They know it beforehand
but they are humans , they can get lazy and make mistakes. I have even witnessed first nation countries making massive mistakes despite having hundreds of employees in security where they had vulnerabilities that a 10 year old kid could waltz right through.

Hell in 2006 I had a phone in my wife's car and I tracked her with an app wish I never did.

vannodondore.mawlot6478don't use it. That's illegal behaviour.

You'll never detect my vehicle because my TPMS sensors ran out of battery a LOOOOOONG time ago lol.
If only they had kinetic energy generation
Lolll
@NickTaylorRickPowers Might be sitting on a goldmine there.
Its SO DUMB that they make it so the batteries cant be changed. I bet you could just pry them open, change the cells, and silicone them shut and save $500
@flojotubethey will lose money
I put together something similar many years ago but just identified devices by MAC addresses but once MAC randomization was the norm I never dug deeper to mitigate that. Thank you for your contributions and I've got to check this out!
Might try looking a little further into roaming MAC's... be surprised whats out there. Then do a proximity scan.
Same! I discovered a device that would appear in logs every day, wigged out for a week or so before i realised it was the mailman.
@xDMG15xGood job. 👍 Next run the roamer against an addressing block table online, and look up the blanket category it falls under. What do you see...
You could've done reading out the probe request. Aircrack-ng sniffs that long time ago since the age of WEP encryption before WPA/WPA2. Mac address randomization is bound to happen eitherway, but it's meh.. People never thought deeper..
Nothing new, it was being done for a long time by shops, transport companies, events venues etc
People need a way to opt out of unlawful surveillance.
The only way to opt out of anything unlawful is to rely on the law or take it into your own hands.
If your comment isn’t satire it’s absurd.
That will never happen but the idea is cute.
lmao.. oh sweet summer child..
Only one way MAID
Lol. Tell criminals you want to opt out? 😂😂😂
This is a polished up version of the creep detector from five years ago
I love and appreciate his approach towards making this device. He actually went out and asked the specialists what they use; he wasn't arrogant about the build. I really appreciate that.
Pragmatic brain
I really want to appreciate this guy *Strategic techies* for giving me uninterrupted access to my partner's Locations. I always had a suspicion that she was seeing someone else. Good job
This tech guy in particular gave me the login to an icloud owned by my ex wife
Alex can do a lot of things, he is a genius and most amazing attribute of him is sincerity 😊
They appears to be well-educated and well-read. i ran an online search on her name and come across their website; thanks me for sharing…
Interestingly enough, I have actually used similar tactics; Around April 5th my Wi-Fi Pinapple was duplicating networks dubbed "T-14, T-16..." etcetera. I recorded the MAC(s), and other related data. Mind you, I lived in the country. An area that had little-to-no traffic. Turns out, they were cop cars. This subsequently led me to track down the source with varying success
Newbie. How can I do this as I'm tracked 24/7.
@JustLinda-AKN1) stop doing things that would warrent you to be tracked. 2) if rule #1 dosen't apply to you, seek a psychiatrist
@Jay-cq5qr what if your political views oppose the goverment?
@Jay-cq5qreveryone is US is being tracked. You don't have to do anything wrong.
@dank_stogie_yoooooyou would be careful about even the device you use to post your comments here, the WiFi, the ISP, and anything else.
@15:14 Temporal Tracking makes a lot more sense for checking for a "tail" 👍
Track the people who are tracking the people who are tracking you.
Soooooo, track myself? Snake eating itself? Hmm.
Couple months back went to a alarm and key shop and while i was waiting a woman pulled up and asked him if he could search her car for tracking devices , he was busy so he told her to come back later. I asked him about it and he says that a lot of people are stalking their ex girlfriends or ex boyfriends, and that many times hes found tracking devices on vehicles , very fascinating ... and scary
if I have to track them, it is time to exit, weird sick people.
I watched this last night. It was, by far, one of the most fascinating tech videos I've seen in quite a while on here. Very impressive!
I appreciate you watching!

My wife is going to kill me. I don't need another rabbit hole hobby. Opens up github and favorite Pi store, canakit.
Which reminds me, some of us at work had quite a lonely job which could have long pauses between bursts of activity so we turned on the radio to fill in the gaps. The problem was that radios were banned.
So, someone installed a switch on the door to the room that would turn off the radio as soon as it was opened. We knew when the boss arrived unannounced because the radio went silent!
Radio cure-by Wilco. Trust me I am good with these type of things.
@ghostelectronic1386 Cheer up, honey I hope you can
Genius
Y'all Poor beings at a 9/5 hahahaha
Love it
what in the box, what in the box?
Its crazy I was standing right there spectating this lol. What an honor
I’m glad to come across this. I had a sneaking feeling that there might be a AirTag or something on my car. Yesterday, I came across another RUclips video about turning on the “Item Safety Alerts”, but the option is completely missing from not only my new iPhone, but two other iPhones that both had the required IOS update.
Has anyone else noticed this setting missing from their iPhone?
Yet another AMAZING video from David letting us all know what’s going on out there. Thank you very much.🎉
The "how do I know your not a fed" had me spitting out my coffee 😂😂
Fed or not, really cool technology.
A friend and I were talking on the phone when we both heard, 'this call is now being recorded' with a split second pause and then, 'this call is no longer being recorded'. I did a hard reset on my phone and changed a bunch of passwords and disconnected the cloud from my files
I track criminals via their smart devices very similar , they are freaked out when the rozzers knock on their doors!
We've been waiting for this. It's important that we keep documenting this for others. That while the hacking and other ridiculousness is occurring that we are watching those who are being watched.

Speaking of SDR, you could add Lojack detection on top of TPMS. Much further distance detection.
I’ve never heard of this before, could you please explain because I did not know you could combine the two.
Tire pressure management sys
I think lojack has to be activated then it sends out as beacon signal. If anyone can explain i would listen. Looking for elaboration on how lojack works
@howardsmith9417Lowjack uses a separation trigger to initiate. If the Lowjack key fob is not proximal to the LowJack installed tracker during vehicle movement, the tracker alerts LowJack HQ who should also alert the customer via email, at a minimum. I'm not aware of the communication method or protocol that they use regarding a one-time ping on startup or a constant ping while driving. I'm also not aware if the tracker module will arm should someone move the vehicle without powering the electrical system.
I treated my ex like a queen. I gave her everything she wanted, and more, but it wasn’t enough. Finding out that she was cheating on me was utterly devastating. The hardest part to accept is that she was in her 50’s, and sleeping with guys in their 30’s. Not because they were younger guys, but because I figured a 50 year old woman wasn’t capable of this. 6 years down the drain, but a valuable lesson learned. *Perry Moskva* is very calming and your insight is invaluable.
.........
fighting back a little tear listening to how this man help doctors and nurses with this. i'm almost crying
We know. How they do it. Let they listen and die listening.
Your service provider knows everything……
Many years ago I started to collect my log files and sorted it to see who was trying to acces my network.
And many years ago I realised that the most traffic on my network was trackers. And it made no sense to try stop it.
Turn your Bluetooth and WI FI off on your damn smart phones, and use a good faraday bag when you’re not using it.
Most of us do this already.
sounds good but who's really going to do all that, people are typical
The most important part is that faraday bag. Wifi, bluetooth, all that jazz is all radio. Keep radio out with a faraday. An emp is an explosion of radio. Faraday keeps your circuits safe from radio electrical interference
Ok, so what about all the other devices that automatically connect???
My guy is a sneakerhead too
Thanks for sharing as always David
Need be use for stalking in court. Thank you for your flowing truth. Infinity wisdom.
Air Guard has a similar logic it uses as an app for Android and iOS. Great to see this getting more spotlighting.

So you stopped bouncing WiFi and Bluetooth off everything in proximity, but your vehicles telematics gave you away. 👀
Haha. Can confirm from my work in Tampa at the SO JCSE unit next to SOCOM and people are people no matter where or who you are. We all have bad habits like that. SO or not.
This being open source is awesome.
Awesome work!
3:49 "what's in the box!!!!!!"?????
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
The sooner people realize that anything transmitted over the air will never be safe then you will understand that there is nothing you can do other than don’t use .
What do you mean by this? I am bad with technology. Really bad
You'll never get a 100% guarantee, but it can get close enough with good enough encryption.
@ChrissyAinsley you can capture everything being sent from every device.
Your every move and action is tracked.
I just got my new phone and I don't plan on downloading anything to it
@ktor1208 It's still essentially a tracking device. Your every move is triangulated by cell towers. That may or may not be a concern, depending on your threat model.
Omg your a genius.. I need 2. One for my mom and mother in law.. they scared going to the bank always worried.. im definitely getting them this..
zersetzung is fully operational where i live, being able to intercept their comunications would be very helpful
I’ve been saying that for years. Zursetzung is the norm these days =\
Try being a a targeted individual
The practical genius. Hats off to you Sir.
Google Maps (early on) was "creating Google Maps) with their vehicles, but was secretly war driving as well! Capturing WiFi packets and so on. Created a private map of devices in an area while taking a picture in the process.
Chasing your tail giving folks the same ability to war drive with purpose. Well that is quite lovely! It isn't just capturing data for data sake. Although if you slap on a semantic layer , you could very well start asking a prompt in natural language (NL) to give you back info
"What's the longest an address has been following me" and like clock work, you'd get this info back in NL.
Just a matter of escalation and user friendliness.
All stellar work, thank you so much for you sharing!
- All the best
Sure it is. That's the way google determines your location. It should be illegal without your permission..
@viberviber1551
Our congress is failing to legislate on our behalf.
Ah that’s actually quite insightful, it ties an ip to a geographic location. Huh I never thought of that. Most places don’t allow that pinging though do they? Or it’s heavily restricted it seema
I really want to appreciate this guy *Strategic techies* for giving me uninterrupted access to my partner's Locations. I always had a suspicion that she was seeing someone else. Good job

You could put something like this on a drone if you were looking for a lost hiker in a remote area. If the hiker had a device on them but no reception they would still show up and the drone could cover a large area quickly.
Love this! Need to put my Rp5 to some use!
No one talked about the possible vulnerabilities in the first 2 minutes when the stack is booting? I think this should be tightly secured and well thought out in both software and hardware aspects, but curious to know.
Awesome I get followed all the time thank you 😊
Old Wi-Fi devices used to broadcast the names of all saved networks, a big privacy risk, since anyone could track you by those SSIDs (“Ana’s Home”, “WorkWiFi”, etc.).
Modern systems (Android, iOS, Windows) don’t do that anymore.
They send mostly generic “who’s there?” probe requests and only a few targeted ones for networks they expect nearby.
I can see all of the networks in my hood, and it dawned on me that we all need to change our names
Trace Buster-Buster
I can do that only when he answers on the call !
Can't do that without answering??

I was debating on building a device to discover my boss showing up on the job site lol. Crazy minds we both have
The Mafia company ( insurance) is the one who's must spy people. I call them criminals
This is what needs to happen.
Seriously u have no idea how much u helped my family! Hunted for yrs!!!
Who hunted what for years?
@josephpoorman9871 probably the moose were hunting his family, very common in that area of the world.
Hunted for years and you're still here?
Must be amateur hour!
If you're being hunted maybe don't name your youtube account with your first and last name?
Many bravos 👏 for this guy!!!
Those that have caused this simple unnecessary grief when they could be doing something positive with their lives!!! Using it for good reasons is different, I've also had these kind of threats in the past, different kinds of threats, whoever it was knew I had a struggle with technology and phones and knows that I went through many and multiple different companies, vengeance is gods, all we have to do is simply pray for all the grief that's has been or is
Three years later and the felony counts keep rising.
Dave ALWAYS makes great videos! 😂 Thanks again!
Thank you!
I think this is great what you are doing .
This man doing the lords work Excellent piece or work
Nah. Just tech work. Wigle wifi on steroids plus data analysis
my wifi is called police surveillance just to freak out neighbors
How original.
Now I wanna do this 😂
Absolutely Hilarious!
Name it "FBI.Van4"
@runtothetrees😂
Thank you for speaking truth ❤
In London, there's public recycling bins that use these techniques to identify you by your phone and track which ads you've seen
Are they local council bins?
sounds like free hardware
Music to my ears
SNOOP UNTO THEM AS THEY SNOOP UNTO US!
Ma'am / Sir, I Will be praying this Prayer tonight before bed...maybe in the morning,too.
😂
What's really interesting is their advertising free government phones while you're giving this post
What amazes me is the fact that people think this is new......we've been under surveillance more or less for the last 20 years 😅
😂
50 years
Sure bro. Exactly the same level of surveillance in 1999 and 1909.
You missed the premise of the whole video 🙄 it's not the fact that civilians are being tracked. True we knew that. But being able to reverse track them using a raspi is fucking awesome 😎 but geee thanks for stating something we already knew????
At least since 1989
Great information! Thank you for this! 👍
I would like to see the list of connected devices that Matt is using.
Screen WiFi adapter
Bluetooth
This is awesome! There are so many ways to go with this
Add ADS-B using a cheap SDR dangle to watch for surveillance aircraft and now drone beacons.
a sdr radio can catch surveillance?
I had this idea myself a few years ago but for relatively different use
Most modern devices randomize mac addresses by default unless the user disables that. I think the blue tooth in cars also does that now but maybe not the majority.
My brilliant cable company for the ease of installers use the customer 10 digit account # as the SSID if you get a wireless modem from them lol You can drive down the road and collect them if you wanted to.
Bad Ass-Nice Work Matt.
the only thing missing is how to shrink it down to a phone size or turn the whole thing into a mobile app and plug the scanner device via otg of the phone
ESP32-C5 i believe have 2.4 and 5 wifi + BLE and zigbee/thread. I think you can probably re-write what he's doing in RISCV assembly/C and then have a device that fits into an altoids box. I'm looking into it. It could either have a small OLED screen + battery + keys like meshtastic or have a companion app on android and switch between communicating with the phone using bluetooth and searching on bluetooth wireless band.
EDIT: GO CLIPPY ARMY!!!
You can minimise it definitely but you'll have to get creative with antennas and packaging
If you consider whatever that little wireless SDR unit is called (dolphin or something) the white thing with an orange display
@NickTaylorRickPowers my idea would be thicc case as the whole device antenna and its looks normal you just slot the phone it and run the app to start scanning
Flipper zero that's what I was thinking of but could not remember
You already can with an app, as scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth is done with many apps already, stitching it together, could knock and app version together with some AI assistance if needed, pretty easily, though would want dedicated phone ideally, but all very doable and been done kinda thing already. Heck been Kali full on phone pocket setups for many years already.
What I was thinking is that given the requirements, such a task could be refactored to run on a tiny ESP32, which I will do one weekend, spent this weekend making a bios for an old IBM PC so can upgrade the CPU without bios lockouts, side quest. Maybe next weekend. I'm on a roll. 😅
I love this, so, so much.
How do you track people tracking you as you track those tracking you? Piper piper picked a peck…😂
Its like hiring a security expert to design a new uncrackable safe so he goes and hires the best safecracker to advise him on how to design a safe he cant even crack it, then they finish it nice and proud of thisnbeat of a safe, onky to find out that a month later someone figured novel way around it,
I built the same device to look out for my boss in 2014. even in 2017-8 I could collect hundreds of thousands devices (their macs and remembered networks) and know where do they live. I was lucky enough that I lived in the exact center of a touristy city.
after I had my huge database I made a wardriving setup and drove over 150km over the city building a DB to crosscheck with the first db. I only needed a perl script and tcpdump (or tshark, I don't remember anymore) so it could be ported to a raspi at any time. there was a catch though: apple phones were giving out fake addresses unless they got a handshake because Apple was always more secure than android, then windows phone did so-so in not spamming their probe requests while androids were literally screaming WHERE ARE MY FAVORITE NETWORKS CALLED X Y AND Z????
I actually now remember that I did port it into a raspi later on but it wasn't needed now that I had such a huge database of devices
and what did that do for you? Allow you to stalk women?
Government and corporations should not be one-way violating our privacy. Citizens should always return the favor!
Qualcomm trying to shut this down. A minuteman Revolution
I Built pi zero w 2 that I use to track vehicle Bluetooth MAC address (mostly older vehicle are static MAC not dynamic Mac), I can also stick one in a wave guide to monitor or hunt for Bluetooth with directionality. It has monitor mode that pushes all the data to web server to via cell phone Wi-Fi hotspot, and push alerts if a new or targeted device detected. I’ve flown it on drone to survey larger areas. I passively collect everything.
It very close to the same thing, this guy doing though moving vs I’m stationary monitoring local air space. Cool to see others on the same wave length.
That's interesting! I did something similar to my Homassistant as a early detection thing! Kismet is great, but I've went with airodump running as a subprocess from a python script, I've tried bash but the CPU was heavily utilized I couldn't get it to work no matter what! The python script is looking for MAC and probes and the dynamic MACs are automatically rejected with a filter! Didn't give it a API yet but the output is in a log file and tranmits the findings over MQTT!
RTL-SDRs are cool
what are the orbs commming in at?
His watch gives away a glint
I was being tracked, no joke from a child abuse ring that i busted and reported to the police…the police covered it up-imagine that- got to the point where my face wouldn’t open my phone…all my passwords changed. Im going to figure this all out-great knowing its out there.
Thank you for doing the right thing! You're a true hero and the world needs more people like you.✨
@downtown530 aww thank you-but yah all that stuff and the drugs are protected by the authorities. People find that hard to believe…but its like…hear of jeffery Epstein? I mean the names cant be released bc it involves like everyone. Insanity.
It gets nasty but thats how they play and more often 18+ years skating.
@meghanmills2025 what do you mean?
@GeneVincent1985 Welcome to capitalism! Profits over People! 😕
This is really good.
Very cool tech! I'm doing this. Still waiting for the shoe-phone though. 😃
I think you just missed it, by that much, Max!
THAT IS FREAKING AWSOME. I WANT THAT

Excellent idea and execution. If I had a nickel for every Raspberry Pi project… really good work! I hope you monetize a kit and sell it and turn a tidy profit. You earned it!!
Great video nothing worse then having people track your every movement
Raspberry pi seems to be increasingly a popular item in online sales.
You can detect TMPS tire pressure sensors if you run SDR Sharp running a RTLSDR with the RTL433 plugin dll files saved. Set up auto logging. Drive around with the laptop, the SDR radio, a decent antenna to run 70cm band. Once you save your log data, create a pivot table of count then dig on the serial numbers that occur the most.
Does each sensor give off a specific identifier? Haven't found any yet with my porta pack. But I haven't really been looking either
Thanks for neat video.
I wonder if the same cannot be achieved via an app on an old rooted Android phone. Has all the location and radio capabilities...
I had my very old android set up for packet capture, incredible at the time, something like this on an old phone would be amazing
I would love to see this as an APP on my phone!!!!
so they basically made an App with AI that makes you paranoid of someone stalking you
It's not paranoia, but a necessity for people in certain positions. Maybe for you with no high-level role, it's paranoia.
@switch733 sure buddy
@switch733 tools like this existed 10 years ahead and were done online, at this point, they are using tools that are already premade for that and combinening it through AI with no knowledge of the harm that ppl can intercept you back and follow you based just of this... Nothing new really, what are you thinking a triangulation is for? same goes with GPS, nothing new at all, just other tools like airodump-ng put in one program generated by Artififial Intelligence when it could run in a fucking phone... Yeah it's a paranoid to use a full 200$ pack raspberry pi with display for one single use of it. (in a suitcase, like you're packing some treasuere) But ye sure "It's not paranoia"
If you are in one the 21 million SF86 / OPM files that Obama gave to the CCP, you should watch your back, for at least another decade.
It’s so you don’t have to be paranoid. You’ll know, either way.
Awesome show as always
