In 2015, Russell Handorf embarked on another random radio odyssey. The initial project was to have a system audibly announce when known visitors were in proximity to his domicile, and log unknown visitors for a period of up to 30 days. This started with writing a packet sniffer in C for WiFi and Bluetooth. After 2 months of initial testing, the system was validated as being useful when it was used to correlate the presence of a car burglar over many nights. Software Defined Radio modules started to be developed, and flexibility to include other data sources.
Current project status:
- WIFI
- Lightweight 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless sniffer that only collects on beacons, probes and probe responses. Written in C, and ported to work on OpenWRT.
- Bluetooth
- Mostly stable client, needs to be finalized into framework.
- SDR
- TPMS Client – Alpha level code; crashes sometimes.
- ADSB Client – Beta level code; inserts into DB, but isnt clean for multiple aircraft
Project Needs:
- Testers
- Developers
