Detecting network devices without joining a network
Abstract:
A tool listening device comprising a transceiver is configured to listen on a radio channel selected from a discovery channel hopping sequence. The tool listening device is configured to identify a preamble, indicating a start of a packet. The tool listening device continues to listen until a packet header is received. The tool listener extracts, from the packet header, a source address, a destination address and a frame type. The tool listening device adds the source address, the destination address, and the frame type to a data structure, and transmits the data structure to an external device, where the data may be visualized. The tool listening device is further configured to select another radio channel from the discovery channel hopping sequence.
