Can I play Doom on it?

 

[sce.mag_tx]

Not a damn advert either this is Awareness only.

Those that use it have known about it, they have their own forum.

It's been out there a while, the recent updates and add-ons is why many people are concerned.

It's an Open Source Project so many people are involved with it's abilities, upgrades, etc.

Better to know, than not.

RF and IR reception and transmission. Endless uses for a thief.

50 meters range. Yee ha.

Now add the directional antenna.

Made with pride in China - curious if it's illegal to own there?

Pseudorandom encryption will be as secure as a $5.00 bicycle lock. Will Genie garage door openers get quantum encryption?

Hahaha, nuts right.

Anything made easy is also easy for them.

People have been using a similar device to stop wifi cameras from recording them when they steal packages or try to break into houses.

Could be right handy for those who aren't overly respectful of laws.

Its 169 bucks and you have to know how to use this sort of stuff. The common methed out thief isn't going to be dragging one around, but good thieves are going to. I've bought one. I definitely want to play with this thing. Thanks for the info.


Just so you guys aren't too freaked out people have been doing this stuff with raspberry pi's from their cars forever. Like 10 years.

If you know the capabilities of devices like these, you know how to better protect yourself and property.

Another reason so-called "smart" guns are a bad idea. That stupid .22 from a few years ago that required a wifi watch on your wrist in order to work? One of these things would prevent that.

Naw I like to live on the Edge keeps me alive.

I will never live a life of Paranoia.

Longer.

I left such shenanigans behind me a long time ago and no longer have any current, useful knowledge. That said, I developed a basic level of paranoia back when stuff like this (conceptually, at least) was my everyday job. That will never leave me.

Lots of tools of the sort are readily available and have a lot of cool uses beyond doing bad stuff. Always a cat and mouse chase with InfoSec anyway. Not to mention, a brick is pretty much a universal key to any vehicle or house.

I've got one of these, it's pretty fun:

Right. You can break into any car and drive it away with a mechanical tool that won’t cost you more than $20 and that includes the tools to make the tool.

And how do you protect your property from devices like these?
