## What it is
Flock-You is ESP32-S3 firmware that turns a Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 into a passive 2.4 GHz promiscuous-mode WiFi sniffer for detecting Flock surveillance cameras via MAC OUI and information-element fingerprinting. Detections are logged locally, beeped/flashed, and streamed as JSON over USB to a Flask dashboard with GPS-tagged wardriving support.

## Use cases
- detect flock surveillance cameras nearby
- wardrive and map camera locations with gps
- sniff wifi probe requests for camera oui signatures
- fingerprint devices via wifi information elements
- log surveillance infrastructure detections standalone
- feed a live flask dashboard with camera detections over usb

## When to choose
- you need passive (transmit-free) detection of Flock Cam hardware in North America
- you want a standalone ESP32 device that also integrates with a GPS dashboard
- you're researching WiFi probe-request IE fingerprinting for surveillance detection

## When to avoid
- you're outside North America where Flock OUIs and signatures won't match
- you need active scanning, BLE, or detection of non-Flock camera brands
- you want a plug-and-play tool without flashing custom firmware to an ESP32-S3
