interesting.
i wrote some scripts that runs airodump ng, then clean the csv, send all beacons with timestamp to a database. this helped me to collect mac adresses for some time now and allows me to have alerts if neighbours are back from vacation (e.g. using home assistant i get notifications ob androidTV)
i did not go for bluetooth because espresence for homeassistant does that out of the box. https://espresense.com/
Curious as to why you want to know when your neighbours are back? Or actually the benefit of collecting MAC addresses in general.
Borrowed their pool.
This is why I’m on Lemmy
This is cyberpunk as hell, and awesome.
Unfortunately apple does not expose mac addresses to apps, so iPhone users can’t do it :(
Is there anything iphones can do besides scroll social media? Every time I hear about some cool new capability of phones this caveat is always present.
Complain about how blurry their 60 second video came through and blame it on android. I constantly explain how iMessage isn’t texting, but there are plenty of ways to get the same abilities.
And rightfully so. Corporations will find every conceivable way to track you and no API will be left unused, including tracking MAC addresses of bluetooth devices around you, which is a relatively easy one.
However, you can absolutely allow an app to access that API so it can scan for those MACs.
Funny thing, as soon as the API is locked down and presented as an option to the user, companies stop using it since nobody wants to give bluetooth access to i.e. Facebook.Maybe it’s just a graphene thing, but BLE capabilities are granted on a per-app basis on my phone.
Unfortunately, this requires your local police department to have the latest axon gear… I’ve actively sat down and listened for signals near my local police and didn’t spot any advertising beacons
advertising bacons
Wait could I theoretically go to a UK police station or somewhere with a lot of police and pick up their MAC addresses.
Then if I were to be involved in some direct action I could get alerts that the police are nearby?
If so what device do I need to do this mobile? Like a laptop? Or one of those little orange hacker tools which the name is escapes me right now.
Flipper
That’s it. Gone I’m getting old. Flipper Zero init.
Do you have one? I’ve been interested for a minute but not sure if I can loads of fun with it.
I’d be interested in using it to affect digital billboards or taking direct action against companies I don’t think have a moral backbone.
While flipper is very versatile, it’s pretty weak compared to dedicated devices with proper antennas for the signal type you’re looking at.
Thanks that helps me make the choice.
I do already have some decent antennas from the last time I was playing around with Kali and Airpdump ng so I’ll get into some studying.
Thanks.
I looked into maybe getting a flipper a while back and decided the hackRF would be the way to go. I never got either, but from what I was reading, hackRF let’s you do all the things people who own flippers wish the flipper did.
Yeah I think GhostStrats on YouTube did an episode on his toolkit and the HackRF was recommended.
What I really want to do is fuck with digital billboards. I have a hatred for adverts and more so in the real world lol.
