[Hackrf-dev] Scan for wifi networks?

[Silverfox]

Seeing the signals is somewhat less challenging then decoding them.  The GNU Radio FFT program will display the spectrum but you would be limited by bandwidth.  I don’t know if you could show the bands simultaneously.  Just my opinion.  I haven’t tried it.  Also, you are limited by the attributes of the antenna, its height and the environment.  Ubiquity makes cheap products that will do what you want for a lot less than most SDRs.

i am also interessted to scan the wifi band with a SDR - and add this feature to the 

https://github.com/He3556/SDR-Detector

 

I would also like to receive the beacons of the clients. 

Does somebody have an idea how to do that with hack-rf? maybe there are projects out there? 

 

thanks marcus

Wifi Analyser APP works well on my droid cell phone and displays everything one could hope for and it is free.  That is not to say that there are many other inexpensive approaches that also work well.

Another problem is that most Wifi protocols require more than 20MHz of bandwidth (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#Protocol ) so that would be a road block.

HI all, is it possible to scan for wifi networks with the HackRF one? I’d at a minimum like to get the SSIDs of all the networks in range, preferably other stats with it (security settings, signal strength, etc).
 
I’d prefer to do this directly with Python, rather than a GUI interface.
 
Thanks and cheers!
