The Internet of Things (IoT) has boomed in recent years, with an ever-growing number of connected devices and a corresponding exponential increase in network traffic. As a result, IoT devices have become potential witnesses of the surrounding environment and people living in it, creating a vast new source of forensic evidence. To address this need, a new field called IoT Forensics has emerged. In this paper, we present \textit{CSI Sniffer}, a tool that integrates the collection and management of Channel State Information (CSI) in Wi-Fi Access Points. CSI is a physical layer indicator that enables human sensing, including occupancy monitoring and activity recognition. After a description of the tool architecture and implementation, we demonstrate its capabilities through two application scenarios that use binary classification techniques to classify user behavior based on CSI features extracted from IoT traffic. Our results show that the proposed tool can enhance the capabilities of forensic investigations by providing additional sources of evidence. Wi-Fi Access Points integrated with \textit{CSI Sniffer} can be used by ISP or network managers to facilitate the collection of information from IoT devices and the surrounding environment. We conclude the work by analyzing the storage requirements of CSI sample collection and discussing the impact of lossy compression techniques on classification performance.
