This is the community for all things hacking and cybersecurity, try keeping it legal. That said I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens/comes from this group but I will try being the best mod that I can to prevent anything from happening.

Hey everyone yesterday I was at a grocery store and I noticed suspicious WiFi networks and Bluetooth networks. I am quite tech savvy so I decided to investigate thinking it was probably just some skid. But when I opened Wireshark I saw the mac addressees for Cisco Merkari (A relatively advanced DPI program) , along with multiple other enterprise grade tools such as Fortinet and VMware. I have collected pcaps for both my Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces with Wireshark(available upon request). Does anyone have any idea could this be a government contractor? Or could it just be spoofed cause its relatively easy to spooph Mac addresses.

Sagemcom produces white label networking equipment for Spectrum. I used to work in the industry and Spectrum was a customer, so I worked with Sagemcom directly.

This looks like a business setting up new networking equipment. Either as a complement to the existing network (extending) or replacing what’s there.
