What is central server?Passive Scan #139

Open vahidid opened 5 years ago

Hi, what is exactly "a central server" in this text:

A typical passive scanning system uses a network of Raspberry Pis which sniff the WiFi broadcast requests from WiFi-enabled devices and sends these parcels to a central server which compiles and forwards the fingerprint to the FIND server which then uses machine learning to classify the location based on the unique WiFi fingerprints.

and explain it please. Tnk you

A central server is a computer running the FIND3 server code.
