Characterizing probe request bursts to efficiently count Wi-Fi devices with randomized MACs
Résumé
In this paper, we show that counting the number of devices in a geographical zone is possible by passively capturing Wi-Fi probe-requests, even in the presence of randomized MAC addresses. We utilize a clustering-based approach and carefully characterize probe-request bursts with features that tend to be specific to a device. On three datasets with different capture configurations, we show that our methodology successfully counts the number of devices with a maximum error of 1 device.
