Researchers create Wi-Peep drones that can see through walls

Researchers at Canada’s University of Waterloo have developed a drone-powered device that can use WiFi networks to see through building walls.

The device – called Wi-Peep – can fly near a building and then use the inhabitants’ WiFi network to identify and locate all WiFi-enabled devices inside in a matter of seconds. According to the researchers, the device engages in location-revealing privacy attacks that use WiFi networks to do this – see through the walls.
