HotspotID monitors the profiles of all the WiFi networks each user connects to. The Access Pointp shows these observations and warns you when suspicious networks are detected.
After 3 years research with the SNT(*), we found out that each WiFi Access Point has a unique fingerprint.
HotspotID can uniquely identify each individual WiFi Access Point with a very high degree of certainty and it can detect "rogue" Access Points disguised as legitimate ones

The more WiFi fingerprints you collect the smarter HotspotID gets.
Each positive fingerprint improves the data and makes it easier to spot anomalies.
Data produced by a mass of legitimate users cannot be faked by a minority of bad individuals.
Just start HotspotID. The rest is automatic (*).
HotspotID fingerprints each WiFi Access Point you connect to and updates our servers. Next, our algorithm analyses the data. The result is sent back to your phone and you are warned if you are connected to a "rogue" Access Point.
