I want to create a device to recognize any unique identifier of my iPhone's hardware.
This would be something like the mac address of the wifi or bluetooth. It doesn't need to be secure or un-spoof-able.
I'd like to use an Arduino Uno to build it. I'm thinking I might be able to hack a wifi shield to carry out the task of monitoring other wifi chips in their area and reporting their ids?
Do you think this would be possible, if so any ideas on the best route to explore?
Thanks very much all!
I want to create a device to recognize any unique identifier of my iPhone's hardware.
And do what with that information?

For what purpose? A device only sends ID when it tries to connect, so that the connection controller can decide of the connection is to be allowed.
A wifi shield is a device that can connect to an wireless router. It is not a wireless router, so it connects. It is not connected to.
Do you think this would be possible,
Not enough information was provided to determine the feasibility of the project, but I think it is one of those "If you have to ask, you probably can't" type of projects.
The Id would be sent via serial connection or other means to a server. I haven't looked into the wifi shield but I thought it may be possible to connect to the module the same way you can create an ad-hoc network with most wifi modules.
I dont think that any project is "if you have to ask, you probably can't" -- that's a stupid bad outlook. If its not possible with an arduino shield, I will modify a router. I would like to use an arduino though.
Does anyone have and insight on the wifi shield, it's ability to create an ad hoc network, or when/how often other wifi chips would monitor and present themselves to the network?
The goal is a wifi device that can monitor the mac addresses of other chips in the area.
