What does this consist of? Is it an open source project? I would love to set up something like this, but I constantly find myself not having the time.
[1] A little more detail on that because I'm sure they might find it interesting:
- If there is a phone, Linux, or Mac app I use Charles to try to intercept the traffic
- If that fails I use Wireshark
- If that fails I decompile their app
- If none of those work, I have to ditch the hardware and try new hardware.
What other data is sitting around? How about raster images of whatever your "copier" printer fax has handled? Even if you're using USB, if there's WiFi capability in there, assume it can be awakened. A link that's not compatible with your sniffer is a possibility too. Drag out a spectrum analyzer and directional antenna. While you're at it, check those new LED streetlights for bursts of r.f. too.
