1. A wireless device detection and tracking system comprising:

  • a plurality of sensor devices associated with one or more geofenced zones, each sensor device comprising;

    a wireless network interface controller (NIC); and

    code configured to;

    place the wireless NIC into a mode that causes the wireless NIC to monitor wireless network traffic from one or more wireless devices passively; and

    upon the wireless NIC receiving at least one request for a possible connection to a previously connected network from a monitored wireless device of the one or more wireless devices through passive monitoring, generate data describing the at least one request for the possible connection; and

    at least one computing device configured to;

    receive the data describing the at least one request for the possible connection;

    using trilateration techniques, determine a location of the monitored wireless device based on the data describing the at least one request for the possible connection;

    generate a similarity metric based on a comparison of the data describing the at least one request to a stored wireless device profile; and

    cause a location-based event to occur based on the similarity metric and the determined location.
