We have conducted an extensive analysis of the major fields To still protect user privacy and at the same time allowįor the identification of frames generated by the same source, Started protecting their clients’ privacy through non-reversibleĮncryption of these identifiers and the omission of other infor. However, since 2012, major mobile device manufacturers have Rely on the factory physical addresses to identify the source.

Management messages generated by Wi-Fi devices and which Proposed to monitor people’s mobility based on the analysis of In the past decade, several algorithms have been In terms of a real field deployment, we propose assignment of one sniffing device to each specific sub-region based on the local access point signal strength and coverage area and fixing the monitoring channel belongs to the local strongest access point. Our preliminary results show that four main factors affect the sniffing performance: the number of access points and their corresponding operating channels, the signal strength of the access point and the number of devices in the vicinity. Our objective is to identify the possible factors including channel settings and access point configurations that affect sniffing behaviours and performances, thereby enabling the design of a protocol for a WiFi sniffing system under the optimal monitoring strategy in a real deployment. In this paper, we present an experimental analysis of sniffing performance under different wireless environments using off-the-shelf products. Susceptibility to loss of the wireless data transmission is an important limitation on this idea, and this is complicated by the lack of a standard specification for real deployment of WiFi sniffers. This provides an opportunity to obtain insights into the interaction between the humans carrying the mobile devices and the environment. A real-time wireless sniffing system is able to sense WiFi packets and analyse wireless traffic. A probe request, sent automatically in the active scanning mode, consisting of the MAC address of the device expresses an advertisement of its presence. Mobile devices regularly broadcast WiFi probe requests in order to discover available proximal WiFi access points for connection.
