I'm currentlystaying in a sketchy area so we put up cams a few months ago. Within a month it picked up all sorts of intrusive stuff, including one repeat offender telling us "good luck with the cams"! and laughing.
Aware of the vulnerabilities of wireless cams, I've been monitoring my network for deauth/disassociate attacks 24/7 the past week, as things outside seemed to be "stirring" again. I periodically do this . As usual, the scans have been quiet, the normal blips here and there.
This morning, around 3 AM, the dog nearby starts barking out of the blue, immediately followed by the sound of frantic footsteps slapping down, running down the sidewalk just outside, "Hmm.. the cam should've grabbed that". I try to look at the live feed, and nothing. I go to Wireshark, and within 1-2 minutes before and during that event, was the first large burst of deauth packets it's ever really caught on those devices.
Digging into the packets with my admitted limited knowledge, the radio signals seem to indicate outside of the house, but still nearby. Houses are close. The signal not matching our AP's, where it's always been. Do I have any legal options as far as reporting this (and the logs) to the authorities? Or is it pointless? I'm left to speculate what they were up to before the dog spooked them.
I know wired is always better, and I intend to do something about that when I can.
