Wardriving, a tech adventure with ESP8266 and GPS, unlocks a hidden world of Wi-Fi landscapes. Armed with an ESP8266, I explored the city, mapping Wi-Fi networks and capturing their vital stats. The NEO-6M GPS module added precision, turning each drive into a journey of digital discovery.With data stored on an SD card and a web interface, my wardrive project transformed into a dynamic map, showcasing the intricate tapestry of wireless connectivity.

    Programing the ESP8266 or D1 Mini


    To upload code to ESP8266/D1 Mini, use an ESP8266 flasher. The flasher and program files are available in our GitHub repository. Download the file, extract it.

    Download File

  • open the ESP8266 flasher.



  • Choose the downloaded bin file (wifi-Recon_With_Display.bin) in the config option. Connect your ESP8266 module, select the COM port, and click the flash button.



  • If nothing is shown on the display, just press the reset button on your D1 Mini board it will restart your esp8266.

  • Conclusion


    By following this guide, you have successfully created a Wi-Fi WARDRIVING using the D1 Mini board and an OLED display along with GPS Module. Remember to refer to the full code and circuit diagram for a complete implementation.


    Happy hacking!
