radio transmission sniffers
Introduction
- radio wave sniffer devices generally are designed to not only detect radio wave transmissions but also the MAC address of the device transmitting them and the field strength
- these can be useful for assisting with personal and corporate security and for detecting the presence of hidden devices such as Apple Air Tags
- some software defined radio (SDR) receivers type devices have similar functions but generally do not provide MAC address information
Examples
- AIFW WaveSentry Portable ESP32 Marauder Multi-Tool
- available Oct 2025
- https://opensourcesdrlab.com/products/aifw-wavesentry-esp32?VariantsId=10330 ~$US125 for the basic version ~$US150 for the Pro version
- the aggressive features in ESP32 Marauder have been removed and only the features suitable for security testing have been retained
- Wifi (Probe Request, Beacon, Packet monitor, APs scan, raw capture, station, signal monitor) , Bluetooth (Air tag, Flipper, etc) and includes FM and AM radio
- Pro version adds a mini low resolution thermal camera for detecting powered security or eavesdropping devices
