RuView
Turn WiFi signals into real-time human sensing and spatial awareness.
RuView is an edge AI perception system that transforms ordinary WiFi signals into real-time environmental sensing and human pose estimation. Built on the concept of WiFi DensePose, it analyzes disturbances in WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) caused by human movement to reconstruct body position, breathing patterns, heart rate, and presence. Unlike traditional vision systems, RuView operates without cameras, wearables, or cloud connectivity, making it a privacy-first sensing solution. The system runs on low-cost hardware such as ESP32 sensor meshes and performs signal processing and machine learning directly at the edge. By learning the RF signature of each environment over time, RuView adapts automatically to different spaces and improves its sensing accuracy. Designed for applications ranging from healthcare monitoring to disaster response, it enables spaces to gain spatial awareness using the radio signals already present in the environment. -

WiFi DensePose
Turn WiFi signals into real-time human pose estimation and detection
WiFi DensePose is a production-oriented implementation of a WiFi-based human pose estimation system that enables real-time full-body tracking using wireless signals rather than cameras. The project demonstrates how commodity mesh routers and signal processing techniques can be leveraged to infer dense human pose information, even through obstacles such as walls. It is designed to showcase the emerging field of RF-based sensing, where machine learning models interpret wireless channel data to reconstruct human movement and posture. The repository includes components for data processing, model inference, and real-time visualization, making it suitable for research and experimental deployments. Its architecture emphasizes performance and reproducibility, allowing developers to explore non-visual motion capture systems using accessible hardware. Overall, WiFi DensePose functions as an advanced research-grade toolkit for WiFi-based human sensing and pose estimation. -

Wi-Fi Cracking
Crack WPA Wi-Fi routers with Airodump-ng and Aircrack-ng Hashcat
Crack Wi-Fi networks that are secured using weak passwords. It is not exhaustive, but it should be enough information for you to test your own network's security or break into one nearby. Begin by listing wireless interfaces that support monitor mode. If you do not see an interface listed then your wireless card does not support monitor mode. Start listening to 802.11 Beacon frames broadcast by nearby wireless routers using your monitor interface. WPA/WPA2 uses a 4-way handshake to authenticate devices to the network. You don't have to know anything about what that means, but you do have to capture one of these handshakes in order to crack the network password. These handshakes occur whenever a device connects to the network. The final step is to crack the password using the captured handshake. If you have access to a GPU, it is highly recommended to use hashcat for password cracking. -

ESP8266 Deauther Version 2
Affordable WiFi hacking platform for testing and learning
Scan for WiFi devices, block selected connections, create dozens of networks and confuse WiFi scanners! Version 3 is in development. It is stable to use, but it is very different. It is command-line based, which allows it to offer not just more features, but make them more customizable. This software allows you to easily perform a variety of actions to test 802.11 wireless networks by using an inexpensive ESP8266 WiFi SoC (System On A Chip). The main feature, the deauthentication attack, is used to disconnect devices from their WiFi network. No one seems to care about this huge vulnerability in the official 802.11 WiFi standard, so I took action and enabled everyone who has less than 10 USD to spare to recreate this project. I hope it raises more attention on the issue. In 2009 the WiFi Alliance actually fixed the problem (see 802.11w), but only a few companies implemented it into their devices and software. -

AutoAP
A script to find open Wi-Fi connections and the strongest signal
AutoAP is a script that continuously scans for open Wi-Fi connections, tests them for validity, and connects to the strongest signal. If the connection is lost, the script scans again and finds the strongest valid signal again, and maintains a continuous connection to the internet in a mobile or portable environment. The script paremeters are highly configurable, including ability to configure secure connections. AutoAP is an add on to DD-WRT that allows routers to continuously scan for and connect to open (and predefined WEP) wireless networks. Ultimately the goal is to develop an easily deployable firmware that facilitates fast and easy mesh network creation. Typically, you would use this script on your router while in Repeater Mode, Client Mode, or Client-Bridged Mode. -

Easy-HotSpot
A super easy WiFi hotspot user management utility for Mikrotik router
Easy HotSpot, A super easy WiFi hotspot user management utility for Mikrotik RouterOS based Router devices and works using the PHP PEAR2 API client by boenrobot. This PHP/MySql/Bootstrap based package can be installed in any supporting OS in a local webserver of the client or in any internet based webservers of choice. Put the contents/source code in the root or in a sub folder of the host/domain, as required. A MySql database need to be created in order to work, but the package will create the database, if one doesn't exist on initialisation. The details of the database need to be given in the dbconfig.php file by editing it. The details of the router device also need to be entered in the config.php file prior to operations. A preliminary visual documentation is available at http://hotspot.zetozone.com Easy HotSpot is suitable for WiFi hotspots of any size and capacity, but equipped with a MikroTik routerOS based device. -
