this is why we need ar-15s, for the 30 to 50 feral hog Bluetooth notifications
This is why I'm on Lemmy
@ackshewally There's also D4:2D:C5 for i-PRO & a bunch for Motorola Solutions Inc. (different child company from Motorola, seems to make police hardware). Does anyone know any more OUIs? There are a few other Bluetooth police hardware manufacturers I've found that don't seem to have OUIs.
Also, does using an asterisk like that work? I've been using a regex for it & I would like to turn it into that to make it more readable.
I wish there was something better than BLE Radar for this that could search for things other than just MAC addresses & preset manufacturers.
Wait could I theoretically go to a UK police station or somewhere with a lot of police and pick up their MAC addresses.
Then if I were to be involved in some direct action I could get alerts that the police are nearby?
If so what device do I need to do this mobile? Like a laptop? Or one of those little orange hacker tools which the name is escapes me right now.
Interesting idea, but aren't most MAC addresses randomised per connection nowadays?
MAC addresses are assigned to the hardware and do not change with each boot (first 3 pairs are company second 3 pairs are the device), unless you spoof the address then you can make it display any MAC address you wish but the MAC of the device never changes.
Advertised WiFi MAC is randomized per AP by most devices these days, and Bluetooth also have equivalent privacy protocols. So unless you can get the device to connect to you then you won't see a static identifier that can be followed
Yeah I should have known that I guess as iPhones have that setting.
Flipper
That’s it. Gone I’m getting old. Flipper Zero init.
Do you have one? I’ve been interested for a minute but not sure if I can loads of fun with it.
I’d be interested in using it to affect digital billboards or taking direct action against companies I don’t think have a moral backbone.
While flipper is very versatile, it's pretty weak compared to dedicated devices with proper antennas for the signal type you're looking at.
Thanks that helps me make the choice.
I do already have some decent antennas from the last time I was playing around with Kali and Airpdump ng so I’ll get into some studying.
Thanks.
I looked into maybe getting a flipper a while back and decided the hackRF would be the way to go. I never got either, but from what I was reading, hackRF let's you do all the things people who own flippers wish the flipper did.
Yeah I think GhostStrats on YouTube did an episode on his toolkit and the HackRF was recommended.
What I really want to do is fuck with digital billboards. I have a hatred for adverts and more so in the real world lol.
Nah, it'd mostly just end up being another useless gadget to me. It's cool, but I don't have room for gadgets rn.
interesting.
i wrote some scripts that runs airodump ng, then clean the csv, send all beacons with timestamp to a database. this helped me to collect mac adresses for some time now and allows me to have alerts if neighbours are back from vacation (e.g. using home assistant i get notifications ob androidTV)
i did not go for bluetooth because espresence for homeassistant does that out of the box. https://espresense.com/
Curious as to why you want to know when your neighbours are back? Or actually the benefit of collecting MAC addresses in general.
i stumbled across this project but it wasnt quite working for me since the author uses it in a very remote location with few to zero clients: https://github.com/AgustinPelaez/wifi-presence-detector
This looks interesting thanks for sharing.
Could this be used in my office, for fun, to get my colleagues mac addresses and keep sending de-auth packets to keep them off the network?
Also, interested in whether it could be used to learn any patterns of police gear and notify of presence when out protesting.
exactly that. i am currently in the trouble of visualising the data (i use grafana) but still not happy. what you might wanna do is just collect data and query it later to learn about the mac adresses you are looking for. e.g. run airodump every 10 minutes, write mac and timestamp to mysql. then you only need to write down when your colleagues/neighbour arrived or left for like 2-3 days and then query like "which devices were present after time x on these days ..." and the larger your dataset the more accurate your results. the guy in the peremeter detection has like 1 client a day ...so thats easy. but with more ppl around you, cars being APs etc. you need more data to be sure which mac is who.
maybe if you want to track cop cars use that and gpt4o to watch a cam feed of your street to match copcar & mac. if you got a few solid hits you can use that to figure out patters...like you know cop1 is around everyX hours which tracked mac matches that.
i am sure mac is much more reliable than bluetooth due to range, consistency etc...
Thanks for the pointers dude. Much appreciated.
Borrowed their pool.
Lol
Unfortunately, this requires your local police department to have the latest axon gear… I’ve actively sat down and listened for signals near my local police and didn’t spot any advertising beacons
advertising bacons
This is so hot
Really cool! I didn't know about this yet
