Primary LanguageHaskellOtherNOASSERTION

A simple utility to estimate how busy an area is using wifi signals. Built for Dropbox's Hack Week 2015. Inspired by long lines at the Tuck Shop.

It connects to a Kismet server to gather Wi-Fi data.

It processes this data and keeps track of all MAC addresses seen in the last 5 minutes, as well as their respective signal strengths.

It then presents this data over HTTP.

http://server/ shows a human-friendly signal strength indicator.

http://server/raw shows a list of RSSIs and how long they've been visible (without their associated MAC addresses).

To install,

cd Dropline
cabal install
