Development Roadmap

May 2026

• macOS Python prototype — Full BLE scanner with CoreBluetooth, Tkinter + PySide6 UIs, SQLite persistence
• BLE fingerprinting engine — Weighted similarity scoring, MAC rotation detection, vendor device ID extraction
• GATT silent probing — Reads Device Information, Battery, Location services from connectable devices
• Device tagging system — 12-byte invisible tags written to writable BLE characteristics for persistent identification
• Surveillance detection — Persistence scoring with frequency, multi-location, proximity, timing analysis
• 5 threat detectors — Known tracker, hidden tracker, clone, MITM, relay attack detection
• iOS app (Alpha) — SwiftUI with 3D globe map, animated zoom, BLE scanning, GATT probing, fingerprinting
• BLE lookup databases — 4,000+ companies, 125 services, 664 characteristics, 227 Apple models
• Vehicle BLE database — 61 automotive company IDs, 23 member service UUIDs, 37 vehicle models across 18 manufacturers
• iBeacon decoder — Parses UUID/Major/Minor with known network lookup
• Safe device auto-detection — Connected peripheral detection, home location learning, owner name pattern matching
• CSV full data export — 45-column export of all device data for analysis
• ESP32-S3 firmware scaffold — NimBLE GATT server, BLE scanner, panic button, LED controller, tag engine
• Django REST backend — Tag registration, sighting reporting, avoid flags, anti-stalker protections

June - August 2026
