I did something similar using my jobs open network, a raspberry and nmap. I was able to correlate devices to people, and depending on which floor they were on they had different DHCP IP ranges. I then made a webpage out of it that let me see who was where. People changed devices too often and I was lazy, but if I could have figured out how to get people's hostnames I could probably make the process a lot simpler.

- bjoli 8y agoI know, I know. To my defence it was more to see if it could be done than anything else. I have actually used the very same nmap technique in an argument with a "I have nothing to hide" coworker. It is a great example of how a simple concept like "I can see other devices connected to the network" can be transformed into "I can log who is at work when". This could be done with a $45 device. With $500 I could make something much more nefarious with regular arduinos.
- brokenmachine 8y agoHow would the arduinos make it more nefarious?
- bjoli 8y agoSeveral devices,camera at the entrance, Bluetooth LE, not having to do obvious network monitoring. We have loads of good places to hide them, and I suspect they would go unnoticed for years
