Featured Project

FINAL YEAR PROJECT — COMPLETED

WISPR

Wi-Fi-Based Intrusion Sensing & Presence Recognition

Air University, Islamabad  ·  Dept. of Cyber Security (NCSA)  ·  2022–2026

WISPR is a completed R&D embedded-system project that demonstrates a critical Wi-Fi physical-layer privacy vulnerability. Using two commodity ESP32 nodes costing under $40 total, the system passively monitors Channel State Information (CSI) from ambient 802.11n Wi-Fi signals — detecting human presence, classifying motion state, and inferring movement direction through walls in real time, without any network credentials or cameras.

The system exploits the fact that every Wi-Fi packet carries unencrypted physical-layer information (CSI) that reflects off human bodies. By deploying two spatially separated sensor nodes and applying a multi-stage signal processing pipeline — EMA smoothing, rolling percentile normalization, dual-threshold hysteresis detection, and a four-strategy direction inference algorithm — WISPR achieves spatial tracking entirely passively.

Privacy Threat Demonstration

Proves that WPA2/WPA3 encryption provides zero protection against CSI-based sensing — the physical layer is unencrypted by design.

📡
Through-Wall Detection

2.4 GHz signals penetrate walls. WISPR detects occupancy and walking direction from outside the monitored space, entirely undetected.

🧠
Four-Strategy Direction Inference

Sequential rise events, fall-then-rise pairs, simultaneous digit gradient, and single-node asymmetry — applied in order for robust A→B / B→A classification.

💰
Accessible Threat Model

Previous CSI research required $200+ Intel NICs. WISPR replicates full direction tracking with two ESP32 modules at under $40 total.
