DEF CON 22 (2014),

(60 minutes).
The basic skills needed to quickly locate wireless emitters are easy to learn and no special equipment is required. Despite this, relatively few people have the know-how to put their equipment to work locating emitters as part of penetration testing, RF environment mapping, or tracking their geriatric neighbors using the emanations from their pacemakers. In this talk, you'll learn simple techniques for finding wireless emitters in the environment using readily-available equipment, and how to select and configure foxhunting gear. You'll also get a brief introduction to some more-advanced topics and techniques.
