Intro
Stalkerbuster is a set of open source software tools to check devices for
suspicious network traffic. Traffic is considered “suspicious”, if there are
hints that it is originating from stalking apps or similar unwanted sources on
the device tested.
Devices (phones, laptops, anything else that can connect to a wireless LAN) are
tested “externally”. I.e. they connect to a wireless network spawned by the
Stalkerbuster device and then their traffic is scanned by Stalkerbuster
giving a quick feedback whether suspicious data are detected.
Technically, Stalkerbuser is a software that is installed on suitable
devices. “Suitable” means actually any device that runs GNU/Linux and provides
a wireless device that supports monitoring mode.
The latter is a requirement met by, for instance, Raspberry Pi 3+ with its
integrated wifi device. Therefore we use Raspberry Pis for development and
testing and recommend its use with Stalkerbuster.
