The Neighborhood Network Watch: Collections

The collection aspect of the Neighborhood Network Work is essentially the methods and tactics that could and can be used to collect actual data being transferred and received across networks with everyday electronics. Many of the tactics come from Mao Tse-Tung’s ideas on guerrilla warfare, retired USMC Brigadier General Samuel B. Griffith’s analysis of guerrilla tactics and counterinsurgency warfare, as well as current day tactics being employed by terrorist and insurgent groups. The technology side is primarily comprised of everyday WiFi enabled devices, primarily laptops loaded with Open Source packet sniffing software like TCPDUMP. In addition TCPDUMP has also been tested and run off mobile platforms like the iPhone and iPod Touch.
