One‑Click Wireless Device Discovery with the Hacker‑Style WireTapper Tool

Overview

WireTapper is an open‑source platform for wireless OSINT and SIGINT that performs passive signal monitoring. It discovers, locates, and analyzes surrounding RF devices without actively probing them, providing a comprehensive view of the local wireless environment.

The core detection of Wi‑Fi credential leaks relies on a k‑anonymous query mechanism , which preserves privacy while aggregating data from multiple external intelligence services.

Supported Signal Types

Wi‑Fi : access points, clients, and Wi‑Fi password leak detection

Bluetooth / BLE : headphones, wearables, phones, etc.

Wireless surveillance : CCTV cameras, IP cameras, dashcams

Vehicle wireless : car infotainment, telemetry, key‑less entry signals

Smart devices : smart TVs, IoT appliances, wearables

Mobile networks : base‑station signals, carrier beacons

Integrated External APIs (API keys required)

Wigle.net – wireless network mapping and hotspot discovery

wpa-sec – WPA‑PSK password leak audit database

OpenCellID – open‑source base‑station location database

Shodan – internet‑connected device search engine (requires a premium account)

Quick Setup (two steps)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/h9zdev/WireTapper.git
cd WireTapper
# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r WireTapper.txt

2. Create or edit a .env file with the required API keys, then start the service: python app-env.py After the service starts, open http://localhost:8080/map-w in a browser to view the monitoring dashboard.

Web Panel Layout

Top bar : shows device status and online indicators

Left sidebar : navigation tabs for Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, surveillance, vehicle, and settings

Center area : searchable device list displaying MAC address, type, vendor, and last‑seen timestamp

Bottom bar : displays data source information and alert messages
