Ooohh the software[0] runs on Ubuntu and optionally uses a GPS receiver... I happen to have a computer with such a receiver - a Panasonic ToughBook CF-31, which happens to have been formerly used by local LE (they all have them mounted in their cars). Would be pretty hilarious to use one of their old laptops to "snoop unto them as they snoop unto us", right? hahah ;)

- xvilka 3y agoJavaScript... Unusual choice of language for the RF tool.
- amatecha 3y agoHow so? It's a really obvious approach these days. Doing it this way provides a web-accessible front-end and the actual hardware may be something compact like a tablet, phone, headless SBC, etc. (whatever can provide BT and promisc. wifi basically) The web offers a fairly universal cross-platform, network-accessible GUI that can be developed with really high-level languages which happen to offer tooling that includes an extremely-empowering degree of readily-available utility libraries. What other language or ecosystem is as easy and broadly-accessible?
