MACtrack: Track MAC addresses to their street address using WiFi (Phosh Desktop App)

[RTP]

I posted video demo last night on a Phosh app/(Python/terminal with icon on interface/desktop). That video has more idea behind how it works/use ideas can be found here: https://youtu.be/Qr-tTC5nQKE
This can be a handy button to have on your phone to identify masked burglars or others by their WiFi devices (phone/pc). Tap MACtrack button and you have their phone mac address/brand name, along with the name of every saved WiFi Network they have printed to your screen, taking advantage of disconnected devices constant search for saved wifi networks. Then when a client/SSID looks interesting ctrl+c drops you to an SSID search prompt where you can find all street addresses/gps tied to the SSID you decided to search for.  MACtrack logs all resulting searches to a file for you.
SCREENSHOTS:





WHAT DOES IT DO?


(uses WiFi to listen, Cellular to do SSID location (wigle database) lookups; Works on Pinetab with 2nd net device- one to listen, one w/internet to lookup)






PRIVACY SOLUTION:

• Delete previously saved networks on your devices.
  
• Login to your router as admin.
  
• Set a new SSID on your router.
  
• Save new SSID (common SSID helps it blend in for wigle searches better) and your wifi devices will no longer be vulnerable to tracking by SSID history probes (unless someone maps your new SSID using the wigle app).
  

TO USE:


Check the variable locations (depending on OS - tested on Mobian Phosh), run the install.sh to put everything where it needs to be (including desktop icon), then anytime you need to find out about strange devices not connected to wifi and their previous location history, press the mactrack "radar" icon and it starts up listening to these saved network probes.


I am going to add more options. I found testing results useful/interesting/handy to have on demand, at the touch of a finger.


I included an install.sh script to install it right to the desktop of Phosh. I illustrated the icon for it


To use the SSID location search prompt option, you need to sign up for access to the wigle API  (sorry can't share my account :-P). If not, you can still listen to/watch wifi client -> saved SSID probes and manually search on their website.

Nothing fancy atm (I will add more controls over time). Hope it is found useful/interesting

Really cool, I built the same thing today but in C# and without the WiGLE API. (for now, great idea!)

Maybe we could work together on similar projects!

appreciate the positive feedback
