3. Wi-Fi 
• Operates in 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. 
• Long range (20m to 300m) 
• High data transfer rate 
• Tracking smartphones using Wi-Fi 
• Periodic transmission of probe messages 
• Each frame contains MAC address in plain-text 
• Techniques 
• Passive 
• Active
Passive Wi-Fi Tracking 
• No transmission of frames by Wi-Fi monitor 
• Silently listen to all the frames transmitted by others 
• Problems 
• No control over the transmission time of frames 
• No guarantee of frame transmission 
• A corrupted frame might be dropped 
• More number of frames can provide better accuracy
Active Wi-Fi Tracking 
• Transmission of frames by Wi-Fi monitor to trick smartphone 
• Goal is to increase the 
• Number of devices detected 
• Number of frames transmitted 
• Techniques 
• Advertising popular access point’s SSID 
• Opportunistic access point emulation 
• Sending RTS packets
Advertising Popular Access Point’s SSID 
• Smartphones automatically try to connect to known AP 
• Broadcast beacons containing SSID of popular AP 
• E.g. “attwifi”, “tmobile” 
• No need of fully functional AP 
• Get more frames 
• Emulate fully functional AP 
• Null frames for notifying power state
Opportunistic Access Point Emulation 
• Directed probe request for known networks 
• Contains SSID of the access point, along with other parameters 
• Emulate access point with that SSID 
• Security protocol must match for secured networks 
• Security protocol information is not available in probe request 
Search 
•Probe 
request for 
SSID “A” 
Emulate 
•Emulate AP 
with SSID “A” 
Associate 
•Association 
request for 
SSID “A” 
Wait 
•Null frames 
transmission
Opportunistic Access Point Emulation 
• Emulate multiple security protocols 
• 4-way handshake required for secure 
protocols 
• Requires credentials 
• No need to complete handshake 
• Null frames transmitted until we 
complete handshake for around 10 
seconds 
• After that the process is repeated
Emulating Access Point [8]
Sending RTS Frames to Known Devices 
• No emulation of access points 
• Transmit RTS (request to send) frame to a device 
• In response we get CTS (clear to send) frame 
• CTS doesn’t have transmitter address (TA), only 
receiver address (RA) 
• Set TA to a unique address (UA) in each RTS 
RTS 
(UA, RA) 
CTS 
(UA)
Bluetooth 
Getting MAC Address

Conclusion 
• Passive UHF RFID tags are cost effective but their range is limited to 3 
meters. 
• UWB tags can provide long range but are more expensive. 
• Using smartphone GPS is best for real-time tracking but require active 
Internet connection. 
• Bluetooth and Wi-Fi based methods are independent of OS of 
smartphone and don’t require Internet connection. 
• None of the system discussed address the issue of scalability. 
• None of the methods are without drawbacks.
