It performs the Evil Twin attack (or is it KARMA?),

@tobozo commented on GitHub (Mar 13, 2017): It performs the [Evil Twin](http://www.kalitutorials.net/2014/07/evil-twin-tutorial.html) attack (or is it [KARMA](https://insights.sei.cmu.edu/cert/2015/08/instant-karma-might-still-get-you.html)?),

not really. It just asks for non existing networks from a non existing MAC adress. WiFi trackers search for these packets and will think there are dozents of clients nearby.

Is there a practical way to see this probe request spam? My wifi tracker is not picking up any of it when turned on.

Thanks!

You could use airodump-ng to or any other advanced scanner which picks up client packets.
