trackerjacker

Like nmap for mapping wifi networks you're not connected to. Maps and tracks wifi networks and devices through raw 802.11 monitoring.

PyPI page: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/trackerjacker

Install

pip3 install trackerjacker

Supported platforms: Linux (tested on Ubuntu, Kali, and RPi) and macOS (pre-alpha)

visual description

trackerjacker can help with the following:

  • I want to know all the nearby wifi networks and know all the devices connected to each network.
  • I want to know who's hogging all the bandwidth.
  • I want to run a command when this MAC address sends more than 100000 bytes in a 30 second window (maybe to determine when an IP camera is uploading a video, which is indicative that it just saw motion).
  • I want to deauth anyone who uses more than 100000 bytes in a 10 second window.
  • I want to deauth every Dropcam in the area so my Airbnb hosts don't spy on me.
  • I want to be alerted when any MAC address is seen at a power level greater than -40dBm that I've never seen before.
  • I want to see when this particular person is nearby (based on the MAC of their mobile phone) and run a command to alert me.
  • I want to write my own plugin to run some script to do something fun every time a new Apple device shows up nearby.

Usage

Find detailed usage like this:

trackerjacker -h

There are 2 major usage modes for trackerjacker: map mode and track mode:

Map mode example

Map command:

trackerjacker -i wlan1337 --map

By default, this outputs the wifi_map.yaml YAML file, which is a map of all the nearby WiFi networks and all of their users. Here's an example wifi_map.yaml file:

Note that, since this is YAML, you can easily use it as an input for other scripts of your own devising. I have an example script to parse this "YAML DB" here: parse_trackerjacker_wifi_map.py.

Example: Track mode with trigger command

Track mode allows you to specify some number of MAC addresses to watch, and if any specific devices exceeds the threshold (in bytes), specified here with the --threshold 4000 (specifying an alert threshold of 4000 bytes) an alert will be triggered.

trackerjacker --track -m 3c:2e:ff:31:32:59 --threshold 4000 --trigger-command "./alert.sh" --channels-to-monitor 10,11,12,44
Using monitor mode interface: wlan1337
Monitoring channels: {10, 11, 12, 44}

[@] Device (3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 4734

[@] Device (3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 7717

[@] Device (3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 7124

[@] Device (3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 8258

[@] Device (3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 8922

In this particular example, I was watching a security camera to determine when it was uploading a video (indicating motion was detected) so that I could turn on my security system sirens (which was the original genesis of this project).

Example: Track mode with foxhunt plugin

trackerjacker -i wlan1337 --track --trigger-plugin foxhunt

Displays a curses screen like this:

  • Note that foxhunt is a builtin plugin, but you can define your own plugins using the same Plugin API.

Example: Track mode with trigger plugin

$ trackerjacker --track -m 3c:2e:ff:31:32:59 --threshold 10 --trigger-plugin examples/plugin_example1.py --channels-to-monitor 10,11,12,44 --trigger-cooldown 1
Using monitor mode interface: wlan1337
Monitoring channels: {10, 11, 12, 44}
[@] Device (device 3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 34 bytes
3c:2e:ff:31:32:59 seen at: [1521926768.756529]
[@] Device (device 3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 11880 bytes

[@] Device (device 3c:2e:ff:31:32:59) threshold hit: 18564 bytes

This runs examples/plugin_example1.py every time 3c:2e:ff:31:32:59 is seen sending/receiving 10 bytes or more.
