That's such a great idea! Could you give more details of how are you doing that? Which tools did you use?
- bsilvereagle 10y agoNot OP, but I have a cron job on a Raspberry Pi running every minute checking for known MACs with `arp-scan`. I then get an audible warning.
- telot1 10y agoWould you mind posting a link to this utility? Sounds like an awesome tool!
- rrggrr 10y ago+1 ... can we get a github repository on this.
- lucb1e 10y agoSimilar here (OP here), just without the dedicated hardware.
- slig 10y agoDoes the fact that iOS randomly changes the MAC address while scanning for networks affects this in any way?
- bsilvereagle 10y agoNo - `arp-scan` only works if someone is associated with your AP. If I was using `airmon-ng` or similar, then yes, iOS MAC randomization would affect performance. Although, once the phone connects to the AP, `airmon-ng` may still work.
- slig 10y agoThanks for clarifying!
- lucb1e 10y agoI turn my phone's hotspot on with the desired settings and run the following in bash (it runs Debian stuff in userspace using ru.meefik.linuxdeploy) tcpdump -i wlan0 -c 1 arp; aplay isd/media/0/*.mp3 This waits on the wifi interface for one ARP packet, which will surely come when a new device connects, and then plays some mp3 that's on my internal sdcard (hence the mountpoint "isd").
