Many scientists have published papers documenting how devices connected via WLAN can be tracked by measuring its Signal Strength, Time Of Arrival, Round Trip Time, etc. Any idea how I can access these values in Windows using any .NET API?
Or do you know of software SDKs already available for location tracking?
hello for WIndows 7 this is a good code wich can detect all AP with MAC adress RSSI SSID :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using NativeWifi;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WlanClient client = new WlanClient();
// Wlan = new WlanClient();
try
{
foreach (WlanClient.WlanInterface wlanIface in client.Interfaces)
{
Wlan.WlanBssEntry[] wlanBssEntries = wlanIface.GetNetworkBssList();
foreach (Wlan.WlanBssEntry network in wlanBssEntries)
{
int rss = network.rssi;
// MessageBox.Show(rss.ToString());
byte[] macAddr = network.dot11Bssid;
string tMac = "";
for (int i = 0; i < macAddr.Length; i++)
{
tMac += macAddr[i].ToString("x2").PadLeft(2, '0').ToUpper();
}
Console.WriteLine("Found network with SSID {0}.", System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(network.dot11Ssid.SSID).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Signal: {0}%.", network.linkQuality);
Console.WriteLine("BSS Type: {0}.", network.dot11BssType);
Console.WriteLine("MAC: {0}.", tMac);
Console.WriteLine("RSSID:{0}", rss.ToString());
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
}
}
i hope it will be helpful enjoy
