Add minimal client for mips/mipsel/arm platform #42

Closed DatanoiseTV closed 6 years ago

DatanoiseTV commented 6 years ago

Many embedded wireless platforms have enough resources to run a few tasks in the background. By building a minimal, single binary stand-alone version for MIPS and ARM, wireless routers could be used to gain passive and active data.

@DatanoiseTV Which minimal binary are you referring to? The CLI scanner?

DatanoiseTV commented 6 years ago

@schollz Yes, the CLI scanner.

schollz commented 6 years ago

Yeah, so that can easily be built for ARM since Go cross compiles easily. The problem though is how to collect the Bluetooth/WiFi signals. In the scanner I'm using Linux-specific utilities (bluez and iw utilities). I think that these would depend on the specific device, unless there is a C-library maybe I can use to do this generically?

DatanoiseTV commented 6 years ago

@schollz If you use the same API in Go which "iwlist scan" uses for scanning, you should have no problems to just use the Linux WiFi scanning API.

There is an ARM client here: https://github.com/schollz/find3-cli-scanner/releases/latest
