[Need help] Shadowban on WiGLE account

2026-02-15T06:53:50+00:00

Hi. I can't even start wardriving. I registered, confirmed my email, and didn't check WiGLE for a few days. Then I finally installed the Android app, logged in, and sent some data. That's when I noticed that nothing was working in the app (no user stats, map not loading, etc.). I tried to log in via the web and got the message: "Unable to validate this user. Make sure to use username and NOT email address." I tried to recover my password, but no email was sent.

I emailed the admins about this almost 2 weeks ago (got the adress from the site's footer) — no response.

Yesterday, I decided to just make a different account from my phone, using Gmail this time. I managed to join a team, and the app finally worked fine. I uploaded some data and even saw it in the queue. I even asked my wife to install the app too to gather networks. But a few hours later, when she got home and I grabbed her phone to log in to my account, I noticed that nothing was working again. I uploaded the data anyway, and it said "success." That was over 10 hours ago, but in my team stats, I see that it didn't count; only the data I uploaded right when I registered is showing. Now I'm getting the same "Unable to validate this user..." error on the web again.

I understand that this is a hobby project and admins don't have much time to answer, but I don't know what else to do. At least there's the wardriving subreddit where I can make a post.

A newly built Wireless OSINT and Signal Intelligence dashboard that passively detects, maps, and correlates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CCTV cameras, vehicles, headphones, televisions, IoT devices, and cellular towers, dynamically transitioning into Intelligence Mode on the map.

POOM - UPGRADED since the community asked, now Wi-Fi5! PENTESTING applications: captive portal, deauth attack... more

2026-01-09T03:15:28+00:00

https://preview.redd.it/tqolr9gnq8cg1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=aab4d3910ec2478f94b69f333eba16f24affa286

Hey wardrivers,

We're launching POOM on Kickstarter in 5 days, a pocket-sized, battery-powered device that goes beyond traditional wardriving by capturing multiple protocols simultaneously. See our evil twin demo video here

POOM captures Wi-Fi (both 2.4GHz AND 5GHz), BLE, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter, with PCAP export for Wireshark analysis.

Technical Specs:

MCU: ESP32-C5 (RISC-V, 512KB RAM, 8MB flash)
Wireless capture:
- Wi-Fi 5 + 6 (2.4GHz + 5GHz bands)
- BLE 5.x
- 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread/Matter)
- PCAP/PCAPNG export
Bonus - RFID/NFC: 13.56MHz HF (ISO14443A/B, ISO15693)
- Read/Write/Emulate MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, NTAG, DESFire
Expansion: Qwiic/I2C connector (100+ compatible sensors - including GPS modules)
Power: Battery-powered (~4-6hrs), USB-C charging
SDK: Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, ESP-IDF support
Fully open source

Why ESP32-C5?

Originally planned C6, but we upgraded to C5 based on community feedback to add 5GHz Wi-Fi support. Now you can wardrive both bands.

Use Cases Beyond Traditional Wardriving:

Capture Wi-Fi networks on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
Map BLE beacons and devices alongside Wi-Fi
Diagnose Zigbee/Thread smart home networks
IoT security assessments
Multi-protocol reconnaissance

GPS via Qwiic/I2C connector - is this acceptable or do you prefer built-in GPS?

What features would make this a must-have vs existing wardriving rigs?

Kickstarter launches in 5 days. Open source hardware and firmware. Would love honest feedback from the wardriving community!

Wardriver uk - Unexpected error Code 9

2025-10-30T09:48:27+00:00

I'm build the J. Hewitt wardriver, I soldered all components but when I try to power the esp32 I got the error "unexpected error, code 9". I flashed the 1.2.0 stable version with the esptool software, and the commands suggested on the github page. I checked the code and seems like the function esp_reset_reason( ) throw this error. there is this enum esp_reset_reason_t with a list of constants like this:

typedef enum {

ESP_RST_UNKNOWN, // 0

ESP_RST_POWERON, // 1

ESP_RST_EXT, // 2

ESP_RST_SW, // 3

ESP_RST_PANIC, // 4

ESP_RST_INT_WDT, // 5

ESP_RST_TASK_WDT, // 6

ESP_RST_WDT, // 7

ESP_RST_DEEPSLEEP, // 8

ESP_RST_BROWNOUT, // 9

ESP_RST_SDIO // 10

} esp_reset_reason_t;

I've searched information here: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/api-reference/system/misc_system_api.html

Now I'm not sure if "Code 9" refer to the ESPRST Brownout... anyone could help me to fix this? I'm using ANKER powerbank with USB-A USB-micro cable to power the wardriver. Thanks to all!

Wardriving blog - total rewrite

2025-10-29T02:37:43+00:00

Of the few hundred folks that read the blog, only one person gave me some (snarky) feedback, but I took it to heart and rewrote most of the blog and added a ton of new sections.
Let me know if you have any ideas for new sections or edits / updates on the existing ones.

Long ass wardriving brain dump blog

2025-09-19T03:52:48+00:00

While I waited for my Signal Sleuth kit to show up in the mail, I did a brain dump of a lot of scatted notes I've taken about wardriving over the past 5 years.
I need to figure out how to do an index and hyperlink to the section topics, sorry its a bit messy for now.
But there is a good range from calculating Android scan times, Wifydra build notes, Signal Sleuth programming and some build notes and a bunch of other stuff.
The comments are anonymous, so if you want to leave any wisdom on the blog (or here), feel free.

Signal Sleuth vs Android

2025-09-08T15:01:47+00:00

I'm out of work, so am mindful of money, but have some time on my hands and really enjoy the mental and cabin fever break that wardriving offers.
I run two Androids and a Wifydra, but keep seeing the signal sleuth come up in my feeds as being sort of next level sensitive and capture rates.
Looking for some real world feed back to see if I should buy another Android or the Sleuth.

Need help with flipper files

2025-09-07T00:20:43+00:00

Im a noob and trying to figure this out. I drove around with my flipper zero with the BFFB board and did some wardriving for a few days now. I get home and pull the files and upload straight to wigle. They complete but shows nothing. I figure .txt file issue. I try and change these .txt files to .csv and get the same issue. It shows complete but nothing comes up.

How do I pull the flipper logs I get and get wigle to recognize them?

Thank you for the assistance l.

Wardriver.uk not connecting to GPS

2025-04-13T10:20:13+00:00

I have built a few wardriver.uk's using the Jhewitt guide. None of them are connecting to GPS...

I am using an ATGM336H GPS module and the antenna has clear line of sight (outside without a case). I am running the latest 1.2 firmware. The hardware is assembled correctly and the module is getting power (the red light is on).

Everything else is working fine; I am just not getting any positional data. Any feedback would be AWESOME. Thanks.

Wardriver UK B-Board Help

2025-03-30T10:38:13+00:00

I am trying to flash the B firmware to the ESP32 dev board. I've been successful with board A. All parameters in the read me are good and versions for all libraries are installed and on the correct version. I've held the "boot" button during the upload process and it is set to the correct com port. I've also tried several different board to see if it is a hardware issue. I'm confident it is not.

I have been unsuccessful at getting it to flash. I've reverted to previous builds (back to 1.0) and I've had various issues. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
