Query: MAC Address De-Anonymisation   This project is an exploration into analysing WiFi probe requests, a
management frame described as part of the IEEE 802.11 protocol which publicly
broadcasts the senders MAC address. The intention was to collect these probe
requests to use as a basis to link people's information to the MAC of their
device. This would enable people to be identified in future by the presence of
their device near a probe request detector.
  Due to data protection and privacy issues preventing access to real data of
people's names and locations, this project was divided into two parts. Firstly,
an identification algorithm was developed and tested on simulated data sets of
MAC addresses and names, to prove MAC address identification is possible. And
secondly, a distributed system of probe request detectors coupled with a
centralised MAC address database was developed to demonstrate that these
simulated MAC addresses are obtainable in the real world.
  The capturing software was initially developed for Unix systems and uses a
Django-powered web server to store data from multiple capturing devices. Python
was used to model and test the identification algorithm.
