What will happen in your session?

In this session, we will show:

• How cell phones leak wifi data by design,
• How to capture all that data using only open source software and a raspberry pi (we intend to show it live for the audience)
• How to use that data in a large scale collection to create a map of people

Turns out it is really easy, and cheap, to create a surveillance network of people coming and going through, using just a couple of off-the-shelf technology.

(London Underground did it, and so can YOU! https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/wifi-data-collection)

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

For people to understand how easy it is to be surveilled ON THE CHEAP. The BIg Brother Surveillance State is now a reality, the demons are out of the box and the better way to deal with that is with laws, not technology.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
