WiFi-based surveillance device scanner for the Orbic RC400L mobile hotspot.

Status: Early concept — feasibility TBD

Concept

Run a passive WiFi OUI scanner on the Orbic RC400L (a $30 LTE hotspot that EFF's rayhunter project has already rooted and documented). Detect Flock cameras, ALPRs, and other surveillance tech by matching WiFi MAC prefixes against a known database.

Think oui-spy-too but running natively on the Orbic instead of an ESP32 + Raspberry Pi.

Why the Orbic?

  • $30, pocket-sized, battery-powered
  • Rayhunter already has a working root exploit and deployment pipeline
  • WiFi radios (2.4GHz + 5GHz), writable filesystem, init.d persistence
  • Could run alongside rayhunter (IMSI catcher detection + surveillance scanner in one device)

Open Questions

  • No BLE — the Orbic has no Bluetooth radio. oui-spy-too relies heavily on BLE for detection (company IDs, service UUIDs). WiFi-only scanning may miss many targets.
  • WiFi monitor mode — does the Orbic's WiFi chipset/driver support monitor mode or passive scanning? If not, detection is limited to devices on the same network.
  • OUI database coverage — how many surveillance devices are detectable via WiFi alone vs BLE? Need to audit the oui-spy-too database for WiFi-only viability.
  • GPS — no hardware GPS on the Orbic. Cellular location is imprecise. Could use phone browser geolocation via the web UI (same approach as oui-spy-too).
  • Resource constraints — how much CPU/RAM/storage is available after rayhunter is running?
  • Is this concept even useful? — if most surveillance devices aren't discoverable via WiFi OUI scanning alone, this may not be worth pursuing.
