HakByte: Create a $15 WarDriving Rig to Log WiFi Data w/ the ESP8266

[@nalsai]

Amazing, I've been planning to do this for a month and already bought the parts but was too lazy to set it up. Now I'm going to finally give it a go

[@rootshell101]

same

[@nalsai]

@Faizan Online Yes, that works too. You just need to connect the modules a bit differently and maybe change the pins in the code

[@venus334]

Been loving the videos, Keep it up Guys!!

[@MegaMrUnbelievable]

Yo, that idea with drone + capturing hanshakes and pmkids by dropping clients of networks. I can't say no to subscribing this channel B)

[@adamc8857]

Love the videos you make, well done!

[@pythoneatssquirrel]

I have managed to make it work with D1 mini without a display or GPS. It seems that it doesn't work if your GPS is faulty(obviously) so check if your GPS module blinks when wired to 3V or 5V. Apologies for all the chum. Also, Alex is a great guy, very kind and quick responsive.

[@johnnybio1]

My GPS blinks but never logs any thing besides the header what did you do to have it just log AP?

[@-_IT_-]

I was doing this years ago with my laptop, backtrack, and alfa!

[@devendrakanade218]

What are alternative components to esp8266 D1 mini and D1 mini sd logger

[@kermitinmountain6371]

Alex, I had some thoughts, instead of using the mini sd card, is there a way to upload wifi wireless from 8266 to my tablets? I was doing the projects like yours from time to time. Taking sd out and upload to my computer seems to be a little hassle, but upload from 8266 wireless to tablet can be a less hassle without sd card. Do you think it is a good idea?

[@voxtelnismo]

"Update some shit" - solid push message.

[@BlackFalconElectronics]

Idk if you included it without mention, but have an alarm that sounds if GPS signal is lost. Include a filter that only saves data if the GPS values are correct and not saving whatever data the GPS sensor detects. This avoids saving the default GPS values, which are incredibly incorrect. Or incomplete data which tends to occur upon startup.

[@brandnewman4943]

Great work, but the arduino file on your github doesnt work unless you have a display which you did not mention how to add that... It would be awesome if you could add the arduino file that is for the displayless model! also hope i dont sound like im complaining im just having troubles and im very excited to try this!

[@МаксимАндреев-ъ9р]

Hello! It is possible to implement a similar project, but regarding the MAC addresses of user devices? And maybe a separate project for bluetooth devices. it would be very interesting to see the result. thank you.

[@AlanCoote]

Don't expect the code to work without a lot of editing - missing Libs, Refs, etc. And if you don't need / have the display, the code needs a lot of hacking - Seriously you'd be better off using the code as a rough example and rolling your own from scratch.

[@FuzzThePiGuy]

The code is a issue for sure. Glad that I’m not the only one that noticed it. The TinyGPS “Which wasn’t to bad to fix” The Date and Time is a issue The screen is a issue “but I fixed that problem by changing the screen size”

[@pythoneatssquirrel]

@@FuzzThePiGuy do you have an example which works without a display?

[@FuzzThePiGuy]

@@pythoneatssquirrel Not at the moment. I worked on it for a while and still had issues.

[@pythoneatssquirrel]

@@FuzzThePiGuy managed to make it write on sd, but only the header row...Damn this code

[@chazstone6744]

Does anyone have a good working version? I'm in the same boat where it only writes the header row.

[@1998Tread]

Anyone have issues with it not showing up in the port option under tools. About 6:14 of the video.

[@TheRealZamFit]

Would be fun to do this with an ESP32 D1 mini and use an external GPS source (like an Android phone) in dense areas where GPS lock is impractical.

[@AlexLynd]

Hell yea! I was hoping to do a proof of concept bluetooth wardrive for an episode with the ESP32, stay posted :)

[@TheRealZamFit]

@@AlexLynd I’ve got the hardware and the perfect testing venue

[@jaytboricua12]

Does it log probes and beacons, or just beacons? Love the videos. What's next, ESP32 Bluetooth and Wi-Fi logging?

[@ramnikTDM]

[@RobertLeeMonterroso]

Excellent

[@billylake5999]

I want to add an OLED to this where can I find instructions on how to do this..mostly what pins go where?

[@billylake5999]

Got it working, code is perfect as well.. thanks alex!

[@playgroundphotos]

The code does not properly find previously entered mac addresses and writes endless lines of repetitious csv entries of the same AP over and over. in here somewhere... int isOnFile(String mac) { File netFile = SD.open(logFileName); String currentNetwork; if (netFile) { while (netFile.available()) { currentNetwork = netFile.readStringUntil(' '); if (currentNetwork.indexOf(mac) < 0) { netFile.close(); return currentNetwork.indexOf(mac);

[@bluegizmo1983]

Hmm, interesting. I might modify this code to work with an ESP32. I have one that already has an ePaper display and sdcard reader built into it (the LILYGO TTGO T5), just have to add that gps module you used.

[@billylake5999]

Has anyone made an STL for this to live in? Its a great project but I want to make it look a better than jumper wires on a bread board?

[@johnnybio1]

im having an isusse with the adafruit_ssd1306.h error for wrong screen height did you ever encounter this issue

[@johnnybio1]

Hahah just figured it out in the libery AdaFruit_SSD1306.h you have to remove the // for the 128 64 line and comment out the 128 32 line

Can you share the modified code? Mine don't write on the sd

[OT] you should update your ESP32 json link. it's a bit outdated and you will not get the new releases ;)
