Hello,

I just want to know is it possible to use MT as smartphone detector?
As detector I mean to detect phones in range with WiFi turned on...

Thank You in advance!

maybe you can use the wireless sniffer with some scripting and look for MACs which belongs to known smartphone vendors. But it will not be 100% reliable. Maybe you want to tell us why you want to detect smartphones.

sniffer will reveal only connected to your AP device traffic. Use snooper instead to see wireless frames passing by.

I want this to count smartphones (people) in some area and type of their smartphones (mac vendor)...

@janisk; Snooper could be solution thanx!

oh sure snooper not sniffer was what i meant

Sounds interesting, should you go the MAC/BIA route, what if someone is carrying a iPhone and a iPad, or a Samsung Galaxy phone, and tab.

Wouldn't that skew your results somewhat?

Pretty limited functionality until Mikrotik make the snooper API better - you cant detect client mac using API as its an interactive CLI command. They have been asked.

You could also look into airmon-ng on OpenWRT too.
