Visualize Wardriving Data in a Python Notebook with Pandas & Folium

Hak5 -- Cyber Security Education, Inspiration, News & Community since 2005:
In this episode of HakByte, Alex Lynd demonstrates how to use Jupyter Notebook (a Python data visualization tool) to interpret wardriving data captured on the ESP8266, using the Pandas data analysis library and Folium to map detected wifi devices.

I was wondering if you were going to cover the basics. Glad I stayed for the end. Look forward to the next one!

This seems like it's the most overbuilt most complicated way to do something simple like Wardriving.

Just log every on a set time interval. Using common dataviz libraries you can map the strongest signal GPS point for each SSID/MAC, with different icon colors for different security types. Can even put a ring around it based on the RSSI for how accurate the position is.

You store a bit more data in the field, but it makes analysis/plotting of the results easier.

Is that supposed to be chop sticks or disco revival dance moves in that title card?

[Midnightmicroscope]

Great video! This sounds like a super fun project. Will you go over how to collect and create the CSV file that you started with?

[BobbyCharlz]

Excellent presentation. Thank you for the tutorial.

[tomasgorda]

great again 👍. It will be nice to have something to collect info about near wifi networks in selphone to create similar csv file

Did the same thing in Kotlin/Android Studio...fun exercise

I appreciate the videos though I do ask you to use a ''background' music that doesn't bounce back and forth in the headphones since it is distracting. Aside from that the background track is fine :)

I found a program long ago that does all this and more. So is this a python exercise?

[MyEconomics]

should post it as an intermediate showcase in r/python

[iangriffiths]

Wasn’t Stumbverter doing this 20 years ago?

Linux already has built in programs for visualizing war driving, among a bunch of other stuff… you can also use wigle like I do with a pwngatchi
