They continuously send frames called probes in search for nearby access points. These management frames called Probe Requests searching for previ- probes are sent in clear text and carry useful data such as ously accessed networks. These frames contain the sender’s MAC device MAC address, which acts as a unique identifier for this addresses in clear text, which can be used as an identifier for that particular device. Reading these over-the-air packets using low sender. Being able to sniff that MAC address at several locations cost sniffers enables us to identify the presence of people at allows us to understand the mobility behavior of that device. the 50-100 meter range of the Wi-Fi sniffer. Placing several In this paper, we present a solar-powered, beagle-bone based sniffers around the city ( or monitored spaces) allows us to standalone system that continuously sniffs the air for probes understand the mobility of crowds by the observing the density and extract their MAC addresses.
