Sparrow-WiFi is a Python 3 GUI-based WiFi and Bluetooth analyzer for Linux that combines 2.4/5 GHz scanning, BLE/Classic discovery, SDR spectrum analysis (HackRF, Ubertooth), GPS wardriving, and FAA RemoteID drone detection. It ships as four components: a PyQt5 desktop GUI, a headless REST agent for remote/drone deployments, a web-based DroneID detector, and an Elasticsearch/OpenSearch indexing bridge.
Use cases
- scan and visualize 2.4/5 GHz WiFi networks on Linux with a GUI
- discover Bluetooth and BLE devices nearby
- do spectrum analysis with a HackRF or Ubertooth SDR
- wardrive with GPS-tagged WiFi observations
- detect and track FAA RemoteID drones via WiFi and BLE
- index WiFi and Bluetooth observations into Elasticsearch or OpenSearch with Kibana dashboards
- run remote wireless scans on a drone or rover via a headless agent
- integrate wireless scan results into other tools via a JSON REST API
When to choose
- you need a graphical WiFi/BT analyzer on Linux beyond what built-in tools offer
- you want SDR-based spectrum analysis integrated with WiFi scanning
- you need drone RemoteID detection with alerting and geozone overlays
- you want to ship wireless observations into Elasticsearch/OpenSearch for analysis
- you need headless remote scanning for drones, rovers, or embedded deployments
When to avoid
- you need a WiFi analyzer on Windows or macOS - it is Linux-only
- you only need a quick terminal scan - simpler CLI tools like iw or nmcli suffice
- you need passive packet capture or intrusion detection - tools like Kismet are more specialized
- you require a supported enterprise product rather than a community tool
