### Wifi Analyzer

### Project Description

This parses data from various Kismet data sources, A `wifi card`, `bluetooth adapter` and a notably the `rtl-sdr` v3 dongle. The `rtl-sdr` and `rtl_433` program, which "decodes radio transmissions from devices on the ISM bands" is really the high point so far. Everything from sensors on a fuel injection to remote controlled blinds are detectable. Pretty scary! lol but very cool. Please let me know if you have any issues getting things started or anything else. I am very receptive on and offline so please feel free to get in touch.

The tech stack keeps evolving as I learn...so as of 11/11/2023 this sheds the console formatting in favor of integrating the [QuestDB](https://questdb.io/) time-series database and a Grafana dashboard. I am already getting visualizations out of query with Grafana but nothing I'd want to show as this project has pretty just started. The focus will be on QuestDB though as it's something I am interested in...and Hopefully I can somehow integrate my Particle IoT device and my personal website into this...
