trackerjacker also provides a simple python plugin system that makes it trivial to extend to do all sorts of interesting things (e.g. to look for anomalous wifi devices). One of my original use-cases was to trigger my sirens if a security camera detected motion (based on a data thresholds that uploading a video triggers).

I demoed this at Thotcon and DEFCON this year and will be demoing it at Derbycon in October.

Awesome! The one thing I’m missing is the current status of the network. It tracks all the networks and the clients, but I can’t see when the network was last seen. So if I’m tracking for 30 minutes, I can’t see if a client or network is still available. Besides that, I love it!

Good point, I may add that. One thing to keep in mind though: you can create a simple plugin to keep as up-to-date on whatever data you care about as you like. Here's a simple example of a plugin: https://github.com/calebmadrigal/trackerjacker/blob/master/p...

Note that it's about as simple an interface as possible (e.g. no inheritance).

Awesome! I saw your presentation at Thotcon two years ago, but moved to Austin this year and ended up missing it.

Always excited to see what new stuff you have coming out, as it's organic and deep. Keep 'em coming!
