Nopasa WiFi monitor watches WiFi it is connected to for new connections. If connecting device is not on approved list you will be alerted. It also monitors your network Internet connectivity and its speed like so:
While Nopasa WiFi (aka Snoopy), is easy to install on any *NIX flavor, CHIP my favs. You will need CHIP with default Debian installation.
Assuming you have a brand new spanking CHIP running Debian
- Plug chip into USB with a GOOD usb cord (if something turns off or break, change cord first)
Boot and login CHIP headless Full Instructions How to log In Headless . Or If you have CHIP SDK (run all in sudo or as root):
- sudo Vagrant up
- Vagrant ssh
- Connects as sudo screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
- Login with default user: root, password: chip
Once at the CHIP prompt as root, connect to wifi like sonmcli device wifi connect 'Your WiFi SSID' password 'Your WiFi Password' ifname wlan0:
- replace WiFi name and WiFI password with your connection info.
- This will create wifi connection on wlan0 interface. and you should see something like:
- "Connection with UUID '1b751868-0b6e-4570-b4f9-723c01f9eee8' created and activated on device 'wlan0'"
Once you connected run the following command:
wget --no-check-certificate -O - https://www.nopasa.com/chip | bash:
- We advise you to inspect content of a install URL before passing it to BASH
- For some reason cheap certificates don't play well with wget and i am not about to drop $200 for "proper" one so disregard wget warning with --no-check-certificate ...
Important: Installation will setup Wifi Access Point, name "nopasa" on wlan1. Make sure you enter good password when asked. Unplug CHIP from USB port and connect to power supply capable of at least 2Ah
- wait 10-20 seconds to let it boot
Use your computer or smart phone to connect to newly created Nopasa WiFi Access Point using password you provided during installation. Once on Nopasa network go to http://10.10.10.10
Step 2You will see something like this:
This is your WiFi configuration page, you go here to change WiFi to monitor. Next step will be to Change your computers WiFi connection back to your home network and open the administration URL as suggested. Once you connected to Administration interface you will see something similar to:
At this point you will need to visit nopasa.com website to get your service token and start monitoring process... Signup:

Now, Nopasa WiFi will be watching for connections inside your wifi. As it alerts you about new connections via Email, simply name the known connections and if you see something you Dont know and cant track CHANGE PASSWORDS ASAP.
And as a final touch i used some clear heat shrink tubing to make myself an awesome CHIP case. I placed note with password i used under it too :)
And it simply hangs as a Christmas ornament between my monitors:
