Fox Hunt
AirLeak Pro's direction-finding workflow in depth — locking a target, reading signal, and homing in, for authorized use.
Fox hunt
Use direction-finding only to locate transmitters you are authorized to investigate, for example, a rogue access point or an unknown tracker within your own environment or engagement scope. See Ops Suite overview and Safety & legal.
"Fox hunting" is the radio term for tracking a hidden transmitter, the fox, to its physical location. AirLeak Pro's fox-hunt tool turns the device into a direction finder so you can walk a signal down to its source, on either radio.
What it is for
In a sanctioned engagement, fox hunt is how you answer where is it? — where is the rogue access point broadcasting on the client's floor, where is the unknown item tracker that follow-me detection flagged, where is the device behind an interference complaint. It complements the passive survey, which tells you something is present, by helping you physically find it.
The workflow
Choose the target from whatever the passive survey or a follow-me alert already found — a specific network by its address, or a specific Bluetooth device by its identity. Fox hunt locks onto that one signal and ignores everything else, so the reading you get back is unambiguous.
Result: the physical location of a specific transmitter, so you can identify and deal with it.
Signal readings are steadiest when you stop moving to take them. Walk a little, pause, note the reading, and turn to find where it peaks. Metal and walls bend signals, so trust the trend over several readings rather than any single one — a single anomalous reading near a wall or corner is normal and not worth chasing on its own.
