WiGLE Wireless Wardriving

Nethugging client for Android, from wigle.net.

This client provides geolocated detection and logging for WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals using Android devices.

As of December 2022, this application supports Android SDK versions 19 (KitKat) and up. For older versions, see the 2.67 release tag to build your own copy or side-load the compiled artifact.

Features

• View and map local RF signals including WiFi, Blueooth, and Cell
• Accumulate a database of wireless signal observations
• Search and export observed data
• Integrate with a WiGLE.net account for competition, statistics, and online aggregation and visualization
• See your standings and accomplishments per the WiGLE.net server

Data Export

The client offers numerous data export formats including:

• CSV (current run, full DB, previous runs for WiGLE.net uploaders)
• KML (current run and full DB, previous runs for WiGLE.net uploaders)
• SQLite database (full DB)
• GPX route data (current and previous routes)
• Magic Eight Ball networkless geolocation artifacts

Issues and feature requests

Please use github issue tracking to report bugs and request features.

Please note: this is primarly a data collection tool - as such we aim to support the widest range of devices possible, and so advanced visualization and data management feature requests that would limit low-end device support will probably not be prioritized.

Device Support

Currently Android versions from KitKat (Android 4.4.3 / API 19) to Android 12 (API 31) are supported. Android 9 fundamentally throttled WiFi scanning support without a reliable remediation (see our forums for some possible fixes), but as of Android 10 and above, disabling WiFi scan throttling was added to the Developer Options settings menu. If you're using a modern Android OS, you should disable WiFi Scan Throttling to maximize the effectiveness of this application.

We receive various bug reports from forks/ports of Android to non-standard devices, but cannot address or test all possible variations. While we do our best to support the widest range of devices possible, the best way to get support for your device is to help us debug or to submit a pull request!

Contributing

You can submit fixes and changes for inclusion by forking this repository, working in a branch, and issuing a pull request. Langauge help and translations are VERY welcome.

We don't have a lot of contribution guidelines, but please:

• Make sure to test your changes
• Make sure that exporting data is the result of a direct, intentional user action, or via the Android Broadcast Intent system - don't send data off-device without user permission!
• Please be mindful of the need for multi-language support if adding text to the UI. Google translate is enough to get people started, but please add an attempt!

Where to get it

Available on Google Play and Amazon App Store.

F-Droid (externally maintained build of the foss-master branch: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.wigle.wigleandroid/

How to use it

There aren't presently any official how-to guides, but a youtube search will provide tutorials. For detail on settings in the application, see https://wigle.net/wiwi_settings.

GPSListener.java make GPS_TIMEOUT and NET_LOC_TIMEOUT editable in settings menu

Hi,
it happens to me that I have no GPS in a bus or in the train in the area of bridges very often. I would like to set the timeout independently (in the settings menu). Can you please make the GPS_TIMEOUT and also NET_LOC_TIMEOUT editable in the settings menu? A field for a custom number would be very nice. Thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin.

Background service not working without MainActivity

If the service is started directly or if the process is killed/crashed and the service is automatically restarting the service is continiously waiting for GPS-Fix Sync (as of notification).

It seems to be caused by some Methods, that can not be resolved, as they are Methods of the MainActivity:

A service should be able to work standalone, as on crash of the app only the service is restarted.

Feature request: Show queue

It would be nice to add the number currently queued files to the statistics page.
Furthermore it would be nice to see the current place in the queue for (all) own file(s) uploaded and not finished.

Thanks!

Filter for own mobile hotspot

Hi!

Mobile personal hotspots aren't really helpful for building a geolocation-map as they move with the user.
So it would be really nice if one could filter out his/her own ones to make the map more accurate and keep the "data pollution" down.
Or are there algorithms serverside to detect this?

Import from wigle.net to import all stats

Today, the import observed only imports the BSSID.

It would be logical to import all data to the database (SSID, WEP, lat, long, channel, etc).
Since I can see it on wigle site via the query funcion
http://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/query/

Someone could do a script to import "Only Networks I Was the First to Discover" into the sqllite file.
Of couse, this takes a lot of work and CPU stress.

Store distance stats in /mnt/sdcard/wiglewifi

When I rooted my phone and installed Wigle Wifi again on a clean system, I noticed that distance stats are gone. I think it is a good idea to move them to the memory card.

Network Location not updating current map position

Stat

I don't understand for a good translation.
I seems to me: (A or B)

A. I didn't translate well
B. "37.045 ___" must be write in global stat page

Unable to upload to wigle since Let's encrypt is used

I have an old phone (Android 2.2) which I occasionally use to capture and upload location data (I'm current #708 - user "cdman").

Unfortunately my phone does not have the Lets encrypt root certificate and as such it can't upload to wigle.net (it gives an SSL error). Perhaps we could add the the root certificate as a "custom certificate" as described here: http://nelenkov.blogspot.ro/2011/12/using-custom-certificate-trust-store-on.html (the section starting with "creating a custom TrustManager that delegates certificate checks to the system default one and uses the local trust store if verification fails. Here's how this looks like" seems to be the relevant one).

Speech configuration screen is missing global off option

I know you can achieve this by setting “Time between audio speech” to Off, but it really isn’t obvious and it was more natural to look for this option in the “Speech configuration screen”.

Does this app use a web service?

Hello world!

I'm not an Android developer, so I can't understand the code or at least the program structure.

Reading the website I see the ways to get hotspots are:
https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/query/
or https://wigle.net/gps/gps/Map/onlinemap2/
And it seems there is a PHP-JSON bridge:
https://wigle.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2055
but that last solution requires you have your own server, which is not a good idea.

Is there any way to access wiglenet database using common web services? Something like REST or SOAP? I could use https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/query/ and process the HTML (scraping) but that's not too much elegant.

Can anyone tell how this app gets all the data from wigle? Or at least tell me the files in JAVA I should read. I would like to know more about it but it's difficult to me reading an Android app code.

Thanks a lot for your time, I appreciate it.

Feature request: pause/start button on dashboard view

There should be a big "pause/start" button on the dashboard view, so you can easily pause data collection when driving.

Entries with bssid of 00:00:00:00:00:00

Occassionally, I will get a SSID found with sometimes different SSIDs but with the bssid of 00:00:00:00:00:00. This will stay in the currently found SSIDs even after the AP is no longer near. If I open the AP to show the known locations of the AP, it looks like a track of where I've been (since it records the AP of being at every location I've been at). If you would like, I can provide multiple screen shots of this for you.

I don't know if wigle want to do

The reason I arrived to wigle is interest for national-network-wifi that are developing in old the world (es. Vodafone Wifi).
Some operators are opening a wifi network on all their router with the same SSID and sell sims that allow access.
So, like for mobile, it would be interesting to have distinct coverage maps for performance.
With my experience I saw that it would suffice a simple test on/off on internet connection, because wifi has priority over the 4G and so in some cases (many cases) this wifi completely disconnects devices.
What do you think about insert an optional test and bd of them?

Second line of text on network list and uploads is black on N Developer Preview 5

This text is supposed to be the same light gray color seen throughout the app. I think this is a new Support Library bug on N as I have seen a similar problem with other apps.

This is on a Nexus 6 running build NPD90G.

netxml to KML conversion

Hey guys,
I'm trying to build an application that automatically converts the netxml files that Kismet generates into KML files to be loaded into Google Maps/Earth. I have tried about 5 or 6 perl and python programs and my only concern is that I don't like the marker images for any of them. The only rendering I really like is the one that the app generates after you export the DB as a KML file. How do you guys do that conversion? And lately, you have been able to group the networks into clusters? How can I port this to my laptop?

Bad location data in location and network probably due to losing GPS

I have a couple of issues with Wigle on a LG Nexus 4 phone (stock android 5.1.1). I'm not sure if it's device specific or a general issue.

First and a minor one is that sometimes the "location" table contains wrong location data, eg:

sqlite> select _id,level,lat,lon,altitude,accuracy,time from location order by lat desc limit 100;
_id         level       lat         lon         altitude    accuracy        time      
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  --------------  ----------
748         -87         Inf         -Inf        0.0         566.0791015625  0         
749         -91         Inf         -Inf        0.0         566.0791015625  0     
750         -86         Inf         -Inf        0.0         566.0791015625  0         
751         -90         Inf         -Inf        0.0         566.0791015625  0         
752         -91         Inf         -Inf        0.0         566.0791015625  0         
4252        -66         Inf         -Inf        0.0         0.924082756042  0         
...

"Inf" and "-Inf" are not valid WGS84 coordinates, also time=0 even if it's a valid number isn't OK/real.
This issue is probably caused by saving data before obtaining a GPS fix or after losing it (not sure).

There are also lines with valid coordinates (although i think the location is wrong - see below) and time=0.

_id         level       lat          lon               altitude    accuracy          time

This causes issues when trying to draw all the points on a map, but can be avoided by filtering out the invalid location when exporting data from sqlite.

The bigger issue for me is the "network" table, where last- and best- locations are stored.

I have visualised a part of best-location data (one line in 'network' table is one dot drawn with "bestlon", "bestlat" coordinates - http://i.imgur.com/DF3hHTc.png ). I have actually walked/scanned the bottom part, but the slightly right leaning horizontal "line of dots" is due to losing GPS/location errors described above. I never actually walked there.

I have picked a known network/AP (larger, red dot, marked 'BSSID'), and visualised the data from 'location' table (each dot is a line from location table drawn at lat/lon coordinates; my selected AP is marked with larger red dots and 'BSSID - image: http://i.imgur.com/MtlGiGZ.png ). The actual location of the access point is in the bottom part of the image (close to where three more sighthings are drawn (larger red dots). The approximate distance between the three dots in the bottom part of the image, and the upper dot is ~1km. Data:

sqlite> select _id,level,lat,lon,altitude,accuracy,time from location where bssid="<BSSID>";
_id         level       lat          lon          altitude          accuracy    time         
----------  ----------  -----------  -----------  ----------------  ----------  -------------

26714       -60         46.05357032  14.49049531  0.0               60.9652557  0

Three sightings have correct coordinates and valid GPS data (including time), but one, probably without a GPS fix (time = 0, and a wrong location - upper dot in the image) is also used for 'bestlat'/'bestlon' in 'network' table, since the signal level was the highest there.

There are also lines in 'network' table where bestlat/bestlon or lastlat/lastlon are +/-Inf:

sqlite> select lasttime,lastlat,lastlon,bestlat,bestlat from network order by lastlat limit 5;
lasttime    lastlat     lastlon     bestlat     bestlat   
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------

0           -Inf        -Inf        46.4612570  46.4612570
0           -Inf        Inf         46.0650862  46.0650862

sqlite> select lasttime,lastlat,lastlon,bestlat,bestlat from network order by bestlat limit 5;
lasttime    lastlat     lastlon     bestlat     bestlat   
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
0           -Inf        -Inf        -Inf        -Inf      
0           -Inf        -Inf        -Inf        -Inf      
0           -Inf        -Inf        -Inf        -Inf      
1483223038  46.4615528  13.9437285  -Inf        -Inf      
1483112210  46.0550346  14.5191821  -Inf        -Inf      

So, sometimes, (eg.) when I walk into a building, and lose the GPS fix, it makes the location drift in a random direction and then store the invalid location to the database. Sometimes it even stores +/-Inf. If the access points signal is stronger there (and it often is inside buildings), the invalid location is also used for "bestlat" and "bestlon" fields. I can also fix this in postprocessing (eg. foreach bssid in 'network' table, select all the sightings from the 'location' table, and pick the highest signal one with valid time and coordinates).

I was wondering if I was the only one with this issues (some weird hw/sw combination), or has anyone else noticed similar errors in data (location points going in random directions, and/or appearing in locations never visited, or +/-Inf coordinates in the 'network' table). Maybe wigle shouldn't store location (to any table), if any of the location data is invalid (eg. +/Inf in coordinates, time==0). I can fix my data when processing, but this issue probably also affects kml export, etc. for other people.

feature request: SSID filter ; delete DB ; show version

These may exist but i cannot locate them:

feature request 1)
In the past i used an option that would filter out a specific SSID as to not save/upload it. I would like to have this ability again. I would also like to filter more than one SSID.

feature request 2)
please add a delete database button.

feature request 3)
please display version number somewhere.

App uses deprecated APIs

WiGLE Wifi Wardriving is using deprecated API's, thus not allowing to set Android 4+ as target. This means you can't implement the Holo interface.

Login on Android O (8.0.0) Dev Preview 4 fails

When logging into wigle app on Android O (8.0.0, build OPP4.170623.014), login fails with bad password. Password works fine on web page on same phone. Login session was working prior to Android O upgrade, and continued o work after. After Deauthing the account in the app, and attempting to login again, login fails.

Password not in plain text

Please don't leave the option to see the password in plain text. This is very unsafe.

Sorting

"OK" doesn't work. I must go out and return.

IllegalStateException at CharsetEncoder.flush when uploading data

Each time I try to upload data, when exporting to .csv that will be uploaded, I get error message about this exception. Possibly my database contains some data (in ssid name maybe) that fails to encode properly in .csv.

Bogus rounding in Dashboard view

While watching the dashboard display, I'll often see instances of rounding for the distance measurements, even though the actual precision (at least two significant figures) is better than the display suggests. It's like the opposite of False precision.

For example, I'll see "4.58 miles" change to "4.6 miles" instead of "4.60 miles", or "5.99 miles" change to "6 miles" instead of "6.00 miles". The word "miles" moves back and forth instead of staying still -- it's slightly distracting in two rows of text.

Hunch: around https://github.com/wiglenet/wigle-wifi-wardriving/blob/master/src/net/wigle/wigleandroid/DashboardActivity.java#L43 insert .setMinimumFractionDigits( 2 ) (in addition to .setMaximumFractionDigits( 2 )).

Incentivise pioneer exploration of virgin areas

In order for wigle.net to reach highest map quality and aim for complete coverage,
I suggest complementing the usual bulk trawling downtown and idle coasting on highways with:

Incentivise exploration of unvisited cold pockets near users common area or position.

• Suggesting or some how calling attention to virgin areas and or seldom visited squares.
• Meter and reward pioneering by acknowledge, like every wifi has first discovered by, now each square(km/mile?) has a pioneer.
• Meter and reward moderate turfing. Users can take pride in keeping some area up to date. Now each square(km/mile? smaller blocks in crowded areas?) has a last visited by user. But scores are only given for refreshing stale connection. (maybe even negative incentive for over refreshing(excluded home and work without breaking anonymity)).
• Reminder when pioneered and last visitor turf gone cold
• Reminder when passing nearby virgin land.
• Milestone recognition, Badges for special deeds like going the extra mile
• Connecting local top users in stats without breaking anonymity?

May be to much but.

• User progress, development and projected future expectation.
• Reminder when user activity has dropped below projected expectation,

Caveats are:

• How do we avoid luring people into restricted/unsafe areas where they get into trouble.
• How do we keep wifi primary and the flag planting and pissing on corners as periferial

On Hamburgher menu filter doesn't work well in Italian version

It doesn't work or it is not clear.

1. Filter ON must be up. It seems to me it doesn't include SSID.
2. Open - Wep -Wpa - Towers are "OR"; but SSID in "AND".
3. If I'm looking for a SSID, it's not enough to write it in the field, but I have to do double-click on Filter ON to get it.
4. App shows me little cluster (eg 3 wifi) with one wifi symbol.
5. If I search "Telecom-4" it shows "Telecom-*".
6. In my mind it is clearer if you don't repeat "show" every time.

I'd like this function working on Global WiGLE (not only my, because it seems to me I cannot view some important wifi). And I need to know where It is important I do wardriving.

I named SPAM WiFi WiFi without pwd and without www. Perhaps you call it "commercial".

Client does not store most accurate data

When starting WiGLE Wifi and a GPS position is available, it immediately starts scanning.
However, when later (maybe a few seconds) the same APs a found but with a more precise GPS position, I noticed that this new scan is ignored.

I would expect my local DB to be updated whenever I find an existing AP with a less accurate position (or a weaker signal). This would be especially helpful when "war-walking".

idea on better updating location of ssid

When some one goes past a area and they get the first (ssid/mac address) and it puts it in the database but when they go to another street and they find that same ssid but it is stronger signal at the new location it will update the location and also update how strong the signal on the database automatically. That will help pinpoint where that ssid is located at.

Also a feature on a radar style of map using the best location with the strongest signal going from the database of all of the driving around the area.

Italian translation

Hello.

After working at the Italian translation (revised and completed) I tried to send it to the email WiGLE-admin[at]WiGLE.net - as indicated on the site - a month ago.

I fear it is not arrived... I try to attach it here: strings.zip

I hope it is useful.
Thanks for your work

HTML and linebreak translation in news view doesn't work.

In news view, HTML and linebreaks (\n) aren't translated so these codes are shown as plain text.

Replace slf4j-android-1.5.8.jar with 1.7.19 from central/jcenter

Instead of including the jar file, using compile "org.slf4j:slf4j-android:1.7.19" in build.gradle should pull it from jcenter.

Unable to upload captured data

Hi,

since last update on play store there is no upload to wigle.net possible anymore.
Everytime I hit the upload button, the error appears that the file to upload is empty.

Is the captured data lost?

Seems to log and send WiFi networks with hidden SSIDs which the phone knows.

If phone has information of networks which have hidden SSID, this application seems to save them in database and later send them to WiGLE.

I think that this is an issue, because WiGLE FAQ says

If your network is in WiGLE and you don't like it, we'll take it out immediately, but you should look into making your network harder to detect AND more secure; remember that you're the one bombarding passers-by with your signal.

and I think that "bombarding passers-by with your signal" means SSID broadcasting (if it doesn't, please correct me).

speech config issue

speech reports no GPS fix even though I've turned off that speech option. (i turned off all speech items)

Unable to access "menu"

I have a Nexus7 and updated "WlGLE" to version 1.56 on Google Play.
and, "menu" software button at the right side of bottom has gone, I cannot enter settings, even exit application.

I know that Android2.x phones have hardware buttons home, menu, back, but Android 3.x or 4.x are not necessarily have hardware buttons.
This may make some of Android 3 or 4 may be unable to reach "menu", I think.

Thank you.

Program not going to background after system upgrade to 4.2.2

This is on a Galaxy 3.

Before the update, I could push the "back" button and have the program go to the background. Now it doesn't, the "LIST" tab of the main program screen stays open.

Stopping tts can take very long

It have tts setup to only say the ssids. But when there are many of them it takes a while to say them all. When I use the ... Menu to silence the app it wants to finish saying all ssids it hasn't told me about yet. When I exit the app it stops immediately but in my case I would have to first silence it then exit then restart the app.

Offline maps

Since mobile data is at a premium, can the app be adjusted to accept locally stored maps in .osm format? Direct export from Openstreetmap.

Proprietary dependencies

https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/wigle-outdated/

Can this dependency be dropped; alternately can a version without it be made available? I'd really prefer to keep using the app and I assume that the thousands of others who get it through F-Droid agree.

Update existing networks

O noticed something on wigle android client.

I observe a network. It's open and on channel 1. Wigle saves it on database.

The network changes SSID, changes to channel 9 and its WPA2 protected now, but wigle never updates it.
On my database, it will always be open and on channel 1 (with the old name).

Is it possible to update existing networks?

Mute Audio

I have been searching in the source code for the default of "Mute Audio" as the app play audio and tts by default. Could someone point me where is set by default to turn it off in a built which does not set audio and speech to be turned on by default?

Ask me do I want to turn WiFi off before you do it.

1. I turn Wigle on and go somewhere.
2. I arrive at somewhere and quit Wigle and turn off WLAN.
3. I I start Wigle and return home.
4. I upload information to Wigle.net and quit it.
5. Wigle turns off WiFi without asking me and I must enable it by hand.

GooglePlay's description of Japanese translation

I propose a plan of Google Play's Japanese description.

https://gist.github.com/tinbotu/6102353

I dont think it's a good idea to translate Application's Title, as "WiGLE WiFi Wardriving" is nice.

Development for WiGLE always on.

Wigle consumes a lot of battery, so I must use it intentionally in detection campaigns.
I'd prefer app turns on byself when you need it.
If I said so, it is impossible; but if I say I want app turns in stand by byself when it doesn't need to work, you can do it.

When does it not need to work?

App can be know byself:
When I'm stationary or still I move very slowly (modify on setting)
When I'm connected to a wifi (to make the sophistication I can put it first, but it should not serve, to realize that I'm hooked to already done)
At certain hours (night, office, ......)

App need I set:
In some areas (identifiable as towers-area, but perhaps also with 1° GPS).

We accept other ideas.

Annex screenshhot of warning by Android that invites users don't use WiGLE (It send a notification that open this page)

offline maps support

Hi, its pain in ass to download map tiles. Its drain my data. Fup 200Mb here.
Should ve posible add support for mapsforge?
Im using map tiles in other apps. For geocaching, Locus etc. One file and if you want, render rules for customizing.

Centering Map

My blue-point is not centered, but it is a lot on the right and less up.
If I zoom it go auto of windows.
With a default zoom I don't notice.
It is as I have two blue points (one visible, one not) and maps centered ever that it is wrong.
Sometime it change the two points (visibile became invisible and invisible visible).
It always center on the wrong (visible or invisible it is).

Wrong position of WiFi networks

Network position is often very wrong.
What about a function to only use a good GPS signal?
I was on Tenerife and not anywhere in the desert.
