On a 3 hour drive the #dnsDriveby managed to find 9 APs not seen by any of 4 other devices. Impressive considering it followed #wispy, S7, S9, and Pixel 6 uploads of the same route

Not a fair fight but the #dnsdriveby from @alexlynd held its own on a drive with an S7, S9, and #wiSpy uploads following it. External antennas for the WiSpy give it supreme advantage.

Next time I upload it LAST to see if it squeezed out anything truly unique.

Thanks to @alexlynd for the replacement #dnsDriveBy board - it works! SD card is happy as a clam.

Hey hey, fixed it! #dnsdriveby scans for now.

Feels a bit temporary…

Thanks for the feedback @alexlynd looking forward to a new base board

We’ll hello little buddy, let’s have some fun!

Of course today is the day I can NOT find a spare 16gb microSD card to save my life… 32gb not recognized

Received my #DNSdriveby kit a few weeks ago and finally had a chance to flash the firmware! Unfortunately there seems to be a bug and it didn’t flash correctly.

DNS Drive By is a device by @alexlynd that sends its GPS location home using open Wi-Fi networks. Doesn’t sound too revolutionary until you realize that most open Wi-Fi networks have login pages before you can actually use them. The device gets around then by using a DNS canary token.

It’s very cool! Can’t wait to get it working.

Whipped up some enclosure designs for #DNSDriveby this morning! 🚗📡

I'm gonna be testing out the LiPo battery & power saving functionality later today🔋⚡

Doing some development on #DNSDriveby and testing the ESP32-C3 for bluetooth #wardriving this week! 📡

Already noticing speed improvements over the #ESP8266, and the arbitrary UART / I2C pin assignment definitely beats SoftwareSerial crashing the #WiFi stack 💻💥

Finally soldered these #wardriving kits I designed for my #dnsdriveby project a while back, and shot some footage at a cafe today! 🚗📡

And I also found this cutie while Warwalking 8 miles through #Berkeley to test the prototypes. 🐶
