Snoopy
Snoopy with Mana
In 2011 Glenn and Daniel released Snoopy, a set of tools for tracking and visualising wireless client activity. However, the Snoopy project is no longer maintained. This blog entry is about how I got Snoopy-like functionality built into Mana.
Snoopy’s core functionality was to observe probe requests for remembered networks from wireless clients, although it ended up doing much more.
The problem tools like Snoopy face, is that they can’t monitor the whole 2.4Ghz wireless spectrum for probe requests, without the use of multiple wireless cards. So they channel hop to make sure they see probes on multiple channels. In the 2.4Ghz range this wasn’t terrible, because the channels overlap, which means you didn’t have to tune in to all 11 or 14 (depending on location) channels individually to see probes across the spectrum. So while you may have missed a few probe requests, you didn’ t miss many.
Commercial Snoopy Launch! [ ShadowLightly ]
Hello world!
We’ve been busy squireling away on a much requested project – a commercial Snoopy offering. We’ve called it ShadowLightly, and we’d like to invite you to join the beta explorer program. We’re going to offer ten 3-month trials to the site (you’d need to buy sensors / build your own), and in return we’d ask that you help us debug any issues. To apply, please email explorer@shadowlightly.com – introduce yourself, and tell us a little about why you’d like to join the program.
Never mind the spies: the security gaps inside your phone
For the last year, Glenn and I have been obsessed with our phones; especially with regard to the data being leaked by a device that is always with you, powered on and often provided with a fast Internet connection. From this obsession, the Snoopy framework was born and released.
After 44con this year, Channel 4 contacted us to be part of a new experimental show named ‘Data Baby‘, whose main goal is to grab ideas from the security community, and transform them into an easy-to-understand concept screened to the public during the 7 o’clock news.
