We spy on your WiFi with this little Pi

Thanks to the WLAN Pi team for shipping a few WiFi analysis tools for us to play with and learn about the WiFi environments we embed ourselves in on a daily basis.

We're marking this video as sponsored, as WLAN Pi sent over the devices for our testing and are not asking for them back, they did not pay for this video or have any input into its contents.
