## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 35/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 33, release rhythm 35, longevity 40
- inputs: {"age_days": 561, "days_push": 406, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A Python application that monitors Wi-Fi probe requests via Kismet to detect whether a device is being physically followed. It correlates sightings across time windows and locations, integrates WiGLE geolocation and GPS data, and produces Markdown, HTML, and KML reports for Google Earth.

## Use cases
- detect if someone is following me using wifi probe requests
- analyze wifi probe request logs for surveillance
- visualize device sightings in google earth kml
- correlate ssid geolocation with wigle api
- monitor nearby wireless devices with kismet
- run physical surveillance detection with gps correlation

## When to choose
- you run Linux with a monitor-mode Wi-Fi adapter and Kismet
- you need automated persistence-based surveillance detection with geolocation
- you want KML/HTML reporting of repeated device sightings

## When to avoid
- you need passive scanning without Kismet or a monitor-mode adapter
- you need a Windows or macOS tool
- you want a polished commercial product rather than a security-research script

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, analytics, data-visualization, security, osint
- domain: security, osint, networking, privacy
- platform: python, cli
- tags: wifi, kismet, surveillance-detection, probe-requests, wigle, kml, gps, wireless-security, command-line, linux
