There has been a huge increase in the number of mobile devices over the past few years. Many mobile users own more than one mobile device. Compared to conventional laptops, mobile devices are constantly active and their users use them outdoors more often than personal computers. Compared to desktop computers, mobile devices accompany their owners on their travels and therefore there is a significant risk of tracking and eavesdropping on user data without a user being aware of it. This paper describes techniques how the attacker could track users by using the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) network. Every mobile device generates traffic that can be divided into "Automatic" and "User". When" Automatic" traffic is generated, the device can be found because of its pattern. The paper also describes how the attacker can get into the victim's Wi-Fi network without being in its range. When breaching the Wi-Fi network security, the attacker can connect to the victim's network during his first appearance in range of this network. Security pre-cautions and possible directions of future work are discussed at the end of this paper.
