Make your own surveillance network, ON THE CHEAP

This session is facilitated by Tiago Fassoni , Laury Bueno, Paula Elias, Tatiana Codorniz

Show on schedule

About this session

In this session, we will show:

How cell phones leak wifi data by design,
How to capture all that data using only open source software and a raspberry pi (we intend to show it live for the audience)
How to use that data in a large scale collection to create a map of people

Turns out it is really easy, and cheap, to create a surveillance network of people coming and going through, using just a couple of off-the-shelf technology.

(London Underground did it, and so can YOU! https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/wifi-data-collection)

Goals of this session

For people to understand how easy it is to be surveilled ON THE CHEAP. The BIg Brother Surveillance State is now a reality, the demons are out of the box and the better way to deal with that is with laws, not technology.
