Take the tour ×  Let's say that hypothetically someone had
broken into a WiFi connection. We can't find any evidence of
whom it is via sniffing the traffic or anything of the sort.  Is

and find the general location of the wireless signal?

theoretically feasible, although normally used in the other
direction by portable devices like the iPad: the device works
out its own position with regards to WiFi access points which
are in range. In your case, you would have to triangulate for
the signals of all systems which emit packets on your WiFi,
since you do not know which one is the culprit.  I don't know of
any off-the-shelf software or tool which would work in your
context (localization of a WiFi user, not of an access point) --
but that does not mean that such tools do not exist.  Of course,
nothing can be done for a passive only attacker. To find someone
based on the WiFi signal that person
