A post just in case nobody knows about it. This isn’t a conspiracy post, it can be done, the video link is there by Cyb3rMaddy to explain it more thoroughly. It isn’t new tech, it has been around for more than 10 years. It is just crazy to think that somebody can somehow tap into it, maybe your ISP. Who knows how this is being used today. Since there are no cameras on routers, it is unregulated. Your ISP can theoretically use your home Wi-Fi router to track your movements. By analyzing how your body and walls disrupt and reflect wireless signals a technology known as Wi-Fi sensing, AI models can map exactly where you are, what you’re doing, and even your posture. This is wild to think about, I am guessing regular people don’t know this, but it can happen. Since this can be done, somebody can use it against you. It can even detect human breathing rhythm and heart rate. Sitting at home and unaware. Your cell phone can be used as an Wi-Fi access point. Another example is your smart fridge that has Wi-Fi, it does send back data to somewhere anyway. Like when you run out of food or something. I would never get one of those, personally. I totally understand those people that just want to move to a cabin in the woods somewhere.
“theoretically” is doing an enormous amount of heavy lifting here… tracking specific identifiable people in this manner (especially when multiple people are present) is about as close to sci-fi as we can get at this moment in time.
The paper was link week or month ago but this need a lot of train data to even recognize room let alone person. Possible but not feasible.
where is the vibecoded github repo
You don’t justify “Wi-Fi can be used to track your movements”. Sure, it seems plausible that radio waves can be used to detect an individual’s location, but does anyone have the infrastructure, organization, funds, will, and power, to track the generic “you”, the “you” at scale, as implied in the post title?
Do be careful with your wording.
Yeah, your wifi router can’t track you physically, but a device can be built that can essentially use wifi signals to see through walls.
