- voisin 3y ago> Gather mac addresses that are nearby. Maybe your neighbor is a general and your phone can snoop when they are around. Would this be possible from an app within either iOS or Android?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoSorry, I removed the quote because I thought my reply was getting too long. To answer- It must be possible, for it to be impossible there would have to be no more vulnerabilities for both platforms and we know that's not the case.
- mrguyorama 3y ago>Gather mac addresses that are nearby. If an app has "coarse location" permissions, I believe it can already do this, or at least could do this a few years ago. Phones give quick, inaccurate location data based on what WiFi SSIDs are around. Google started their database of those SSIDs by wardriving and logging everything. There was a court case about it.
- izacus 3y agoApp can't collect MAC addresses with those permissions on Android though. It can only ask for the location.
