2 meters error (assuming it means radius of 2 meters) is like my whole living room lol. This kind of sounds like “well the research went nowhere but the thesis to be submitted”
I have a smart light that interacts with wifi, add one more and you could use them to triangulate at least a rough position possibly. Enough to tell if someone is in the house at least and maybe an estimate of how many people. Sci-fi dystopia shit really if it is truly possible.
so the opsec here doesn’t really change much. prefer wired whenever possible and don’t fill your house with iot. how useful is this method if the person they want to track only has two broadcasters (their router and their phone)?

good enough for hellfire missile tho. Or pinpointing a room in a building
It requires a lot of nodes! Like if you’re placing 6 wifi end points in every room that’s pretty bad opsec even without this.

“With only 6 wireless nodes we can make an algorithm to determine a napping person is in or near the foot of their bed” is so funny.
if i
readskimmed through correctly, nodes in that case are basically wireless devices (so iot perverts + phones/watches/audio/tv).so the opsec here doesn’t really change much. prefer wired whenever possible and don’t fill your house with iot. how useful is this method if the person they want to track only has two broadcasters (their router and their phone)?
Whether they’re in their house or not is all that’s really needed for any monitoring purposes I can think of.
Of course, if you’ve compromised their 6 damn wireless nodes, you also know that they’re home when their phone switches to wifi.
there’s way easier ways to know if someone is home. stakeouts, fake pizza delivery, tracking your car
The real horror is how far away that bed is from the wall.
