+
+# 1. Description
+
+This Program listens on an Wifi-Interface in Monitor-Mode (rfmon) and logs most actions made into an influx or influx-like time-database.
+
+<br>
+
+## 1.1. What kind of data
+
+**Any** packet sent by a router or station nearby is received and its metadata is collected and categorised.
+
+The host does **not** have to be part of that network.
+
+<br>
+
+## 1.2. Data-Usage
+
+The data can be used to identify problems with the wifi-communication nearby
+e.g.
+- Wifi-Congestion at certain times of the day
+- occurring signal-issues
+    - e.g. due to broken Microwave-Ovens disrupting communications
+    - or moving big Objects (e.g. Machines) causing signal-reduction.
+
+<br>
+
+Aswell as gaining knowledge about installed routers and user interaction with them
+e.g.
+- in a company environment
+    - Logging presense and activity of interconnected machines
+    - Finding other Access-Points not allowed due to potential disruption of Production-Lines
+
+<br>
+
+Other usages might be threat-detection at Wifi-Level
+e.g.
+- Deauthentication-Attacks
+- Bruteforce-Attempts
+
+<br>
+
+## 1.3. Tools used
+
+The program uses `tcpdump` for listening in a subProcess and then extract the metadata when packets arrive.
+
+
+<br>
+
+## 1.4. Architecture
+
+![](docs/img/1.4.architecture.png)
+
+The system heavily uses NodeJS-Streams to read, transform and pass data around.
+
+<br>
+
+# 2. Usage/Installation
+
+## 2.1. Prerequisites
+
+The Wifi-Interface cannot be used elsewhere at the same time e.g. Network-Manager.
+(Packet-capture e.g. tcpdump or Wireshark is ok)
+
+As of this version, the program does **not** set the interface into monitor mode or changes to channels.
+
+<br>
+
+### 2.1.1. Interface into Monitor-Mode (rfmon)
+
+You can change into Monitor-mode beforehand with the packages `net-tools` and `wireless-tools`:
+```sh
+ifconfig <interface> down
+iwconfig <interface> mode Monitor
+ifconfig <interface> up
+```
+
+<br>
+
+### 2.1.2. Set/Change channels
+
+You can set the channel of the interface (if the interface allows this) with the package `wireless-tools`:
+```sh
+iw dev <interface> set channel <channelNumber>
+```
+
+<br>
+
+## 2.2. Choosing an Export-Method
+
+The system allows exporting directly into [InfluxDB](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb) version >= 2.0 or into any system using the [InfluxDb-Line-Protocol](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.1/reference/syntax/line-protocol/) e.g. [QuestDB](https://questdb.io/) over TCP.
+
+As of writing (using InfluxDB v2.1 and using the *flux*-language), the data written by this system was a bit too much for InfluxDB and it struggled very quickly on a fairly beefy machine.
+
+Thats why the additional LineProtocol-Export-Method was added. Freedom of choice of the Time-Database.
+
+<br>
+
+If you want to use the InfluxDB-Line-Protocol, simply set the environment variable `USE_INFLUXDB_LINEPROTOCOL` to `true` along with the-other necessary Host and Port-variables.
+
+<br>
+
+## 2.3. Running with Docker
+
+### 2.3.1. Permissions
+
+The container must run as **root**, to have permission to listen on the wifi-interface.
+
+<br>
+
+### 2.3.2. docker run
+
+Either run with docker directly.
+
+<details><summary>for InfluxDB</summary>
+
+```sh
+docker run
+  -d
+  --restart unless-stopped 
+  --network host
+  -e WIFI_INTERFACE="<yourInterfaceName or leave empty for wlan0>"
+  -e INFLUX_URL="http://influxdb:8086/"
+  -e INFLUX_TOKEN="<yourToken>"
+  -e INFLUX_ORG="<yourOrganisation>"
+  ruakij/rfmon-to-influx:2
+```
+</details>
+
+<details><summary>for InfluxDB-Line-Protocol</summary>
+
+```sh
+docker run
+  -d

+  -e INFLUXDB_LINEPROTOCOL_HOST="<host>"
+  -e INFLUXDB_LINEPROTOCOL_PORT="<port>"
+  ruakij/rfmon-to-influx:2
+```
+</details>
+
+<br>
+
+### 2.3.3. docker-compose
+
+Or use the more preferred way with docker-compose.
+
+`docker-compose.yml`
+
+<details><summary>for InfluxDB</summary>
+
+```yaml
+version: '3'
+
+services:
+  rfmon:
+    container_name: rfmon
+    image: ruakij/rfmon-to-influx:2
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    network_mode: "host"
+    environment:
+      - WIFI_INTERFACE="<yourInterfaceName or leave empty for wlan0>"
+      - INFLUX_URL="http://influxdb:8086/"
+      - INFLUX_TOKEN="<yourToken>"
+      - INFLUX_ORG="<yourOrganisation>"
+      - INFLUX_BUCKET="<yourBucket>"
+```
+</details>
+
+<details><summary>for InfluxDB-Line-Protocol</summary>

+
+# 4. Potential Issues
+
+## 4.1. Channel/Frequency
+
+The System can only monitor one channel at a time which might not be enough cover,
+to combat this, more Interfaces and Systems can be deployed.
+
+This is not entirely unproblematic, as the system cannot currently prevent packages from being inserted more than once.
+
+<br>
+
+## 4.2. Technology
+
+Mismatches between sender and receiver-technologies (e.g. MIMO or HT) can cause packets not being logged at all.
+Though this should only be a problem for data-packets.
+
+<br>
+
+## 4.3. Data protection
+
+Because the system collects any data, this can be problematic, specially in countries with strong data-protection laws.
+
+A wifi MAC address is likely to be considered as information of an identifiable natural person, e.g. under GDPR Art.4 (1) and its processing may only be done with prior consent or has to be anonymised.
+
+<br>
+
+## 4.4. Ethical
+
+The large-scale collection of data for behavioural or movement analysis, especially without consent of the data subject, is highly controversial.
+
+Metadata that can be used to track precise activities, such as wifi data, is very powerful and should only be collected and used when necessary.
+
+If this data falls into the hands of a malicious actor, more precise attacks on the targets could be carried out, such as break-insv, behaviour-based discrimination or more successful phishing.
