trackerjacker
A Python tool for mapping and tracking WiFi networks and devices through raw 802.11 monitoring, similar to nmap for wireless networks.
What is trackerjacker?
Trackerjacker is a wireless network reconnaissance tool that passively monitors 802.11 traffic to map nearby WiFi networks and track connected devices. It functions like nmap for wireless networks, allowing users to discover networks, identify devices, and monitor traffic patterns without connecting to the networks. The tool helps solve problems like identifying bandwidth hogs, detecting unauthorized devices, and automating responses to specific network events.
Network security professionals, penetration testers, and system administrators who need to analyze wireless network activity, monitor device presence, or perform wireless reconnaissance in controlled environments.
Developers choose Trackerjacker for its passive monitoring approach, detailed network mapping capabilities, and extensible plugin system that allows custom automation based on network events, all without requiring active network connections.
