I predict that, within my lifetime, the US will precision drone-strike US citizens on American soil.

Signal jammer is going to be a necessary part of the infantry toolkit for anything that may involve defending a building.

With this technology you can broadcast a wifi signal as a sort of radar ping, then have the locations of all living things in the building mapped to within 2 meters of their location.

Map that to an AR headset and the infantry has real world wallhacks and you know how much of an advantage that will be.

idk how big your rooms are but being off by 2m would have me outside or in a hallway or in another room rn

In Ghost Recon you have to throw a special grenade to see the enemies through the walls

Reminds me of some new research that each person’s breathing pattern is like a fingerprint that can identify them. An ordinary smartphone microphone is sufficient

I can not stress enough how important and easy it is to just have your own router. Please don't use the ISP provided router its a waste of money, and a privacy nightmare. You can get a much better one for pretty cheap instead of renting one from them.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Couldn't this still be done if someone had their own router?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Only if they have access to it. You can secure your own router, but your ISP has full remote access to the one they give you.

Isn't this basically what they did in The Dark Knight? You know, when Morgan Freeman was so horrified by the implications that he made the whole room self destruct afterward?

Snowden specifically mentioned that when he leaked his information while talking about PRISM.

i think implied tech was that the phones were emitting noises to be like mini sonars (which also works, but requires hacking the phones). At least there was some pinging animation, if i remember correctly

thanks for the blanking. Seeing this go around elsewhere, wild how its still cool to openly shit on ND people

dunno why it's hard to use tinfoil hat wearers, it's a symbol for this exact shit :(

Because what will a person with that disorder do? complain about it? because everyone will side against them, everyone will see them as the irrational person no matter what they say.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Tbh, tinfoil hat wearer (if interpreted literally) also refers to people struggling with health condition, but it maps so much closer to this scenario, while people struggling with schizophrenia are just not.

Being nicer it would be like "cybersec bros holding gun to printer undefeated"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

can I ask what it said originally?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I'm guessing something inflammatory towards people with schizophrenia

Yeah man, tell me more about CHYNA being an Orwellian police state and shit.

2 meters error (assuming it means radius of 2 meters) is like my whole living room lol. This kind of sounds like “well the research went nowhere but the thesis to be submitted”

[-] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago

good enough for hellfire missile tho. Or pinpointing a room in a building

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

It requires a lot of nodes! Like if you’re placing 6 wifi end points in every room that’s pretty bad opsec even without this.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

I have a smart light that interacts with wifi, add one more and you could use them to triangulate at least a rough position possibly. Enough to tell if someone is in the house at least and maybe an estimate of how many people. Sci-fi dystopia shit really if it is truly possible.

Another use I thought of, once it's thoroughly proven it could be used as criminal evidence. "You claimed to be home sleeping by yourself but your signal data shows someone left your room at 1:00AM and returned at 3, just when the crime occurred." They can track you with your phone already but the trick of just not having a phone on you wouldn't work. Wired life wins.

The post on .world links to one of comcast’s pages about it where they explicitly say

“Comcast may disclose information generated by your WiFi Motion to third parties without further notice to you in connection with any law enforcement investigation or proceeding, any dispute to which Comcast is a party, or pursuant to a court order or subpoena.”

So yeah, absolutely could be used against you

Our best bet at stopping this is getting ankle bracelet companies to go to war to protect their market share.
