Package Exports

wff2csv

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (wff2csv) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Convert WiFiFoFum KML files to CSV logs (e.g. for data visualization)

I had a homework assignment in a security class to just go wardriving and see what interesting patterns could be found. With an old iPhone 3GS I got got for $15, I just drove around town and collected hotspot data and geolocations. However, I couldn't interact with it the way I wanted... So, I wrote this to convert the KML-ish output to a CSV that can be used for data visualization.

Usage

Convert the WiFiFoFum KML files to a CSV:

$ wff2csv WiFiFoFum_Log_586.kml > wifi.csv

Outputs these fields:

ESSID
MAC Address
Channel
Security
Type
Latitude
Longitude
Elevation

Then, you can choose your own way of dealing with data. For example, you can easily create a visualization using Google My Maps:

API

If you want to write a different conversion (e.g. to JSON), there is a separate wffParser.js file you can take advantage of.

Parse a WFF KML file:

// parser is installed with wff2csv
const wffParser = require('wff2csv/wffParser')

const wifiData = wffParser
  .parseFile('WiFiFoFum_Log_586.kml')
  .then(data => console.log(data))

Logs:

[{
  essid: '',
  macAddress: '',
  channel: '',
  security: '',
  type: '',
  latitude: '',
  longitude: '',
  elevation: ''
}]

Install

With npm installed:

Install for system-wide usage:

$ npm install -g wff2csv

Install for API/parser usage:

$ npm install --save wff2csv
