- fencepost 9y agoThis is interesting and has potential, but right now it's just getting the hardware going with a better antenna. It'll be much more interesting to see what he finds over the course of a month or so.
- NuSkooler 9y agoWhat are thoughts on what one could potentially achieve with connectable devices?

- hmottestad 9y agoDavid: If you are reading this, your site has very annoying "smooth scroll" that breaks scrolling for all mac users and also breaks the "back" shortcut on mac trackpads. Would recommend removing this: https://www.davidsopas.com/wp-content/themes/blg/framework/js/SmoothScroll.js https://www.davidsopas.com/wp-content/themes/blg/framework/j...
- codingdave 9y agoNot all mac users - it is working just fine for me. (Chrome 63.0.3239.84, High Sierra)
- vardump 9y agoBroken for me - Chrome 63.0.3239.108, Sierra.
- charleslmunger 9y agoBroken for me - Chrome 63.0.3239.84, Sierra.
- dharness 9y agoBroken for me - Chrome 63.0.3239.84, Sierra
- WatchDog 9y agoFine on Firefox 57.0.1, High Sierra
- emptybits 9y agoThe site works fine for this Mac user. (Safari 11.0.2, High Sierra)
- mft_ 9y agoOn Sierra here: * Chrome 63.0.3239.108 - broken * Safari 11.0.2 (12604.4.7.1.4) - works fine
- PappaPatat 9y agoHigh Sierra 10.13.2 (17C88) Chrome 63.0.3239.108 - Flawless Safari 11.0.2 (13604.4.7.1.3) - Broken
- tzahola 9y agoIf only browsers would support scrolling their content natively...

- tsomctl 9y agoUsable, but annoying, on a Thinkpad trackpoint.
- csydas 9y agoYeah, can you please elaborate? MacBook Air Mid 2012 with High Sierra Safari 11.0.2, and everything on the site is fine. Scrolls smooth, gestures work.
- bradknowles 9y agoThe site doesn’t come up at all on iOS and the built-in Safari mini browser.
- vxNsr 9y agoSo the idea would be to see how easy it is to hijack these devices wit driveby attacks?
- gh02t 9y agoI'd think passive data collection would be more interesting (for nefarious purposes), considering that BTLE is widely used for sensors and in particular for sensors that record very personal data like heart rate.
- mehrdadn 9y ago> I'd think passive data collection would be more interesting (for nefarious purposes), considering that BTLE is widely used for sensors and in particular for sensors that record very personal data like heart rate. What nefarious things can you do with knowledge of someone's heart rate though?
- ianhowson 9y agoSpoofing HR and power telemetry for opposing running/cycling/triathlon teams. I'd send it slightly low, say 3-5bpm, so the target overexerts themselves.
- zeep 9y agoWhile it doesn't necessarily use the heart rate data (maybe some ID gets broadcasted), you probably can use it to track somebody's whereabouts... to know when they are close to a specific location, for example.
- ggg9990 9y agoIf you detect irregularities you can deny them health insurance.
- gh02t 9y agoPaparazzi spying an ailing Senator, for example. BTLE is also used for more sensitive medical sensors.
- sandworm101 9y agoThere is much better hardware out there. The Ubertooth devices can pick up BLE, and can also plug into basically any antenna you want. It's been a while since I played with it, but a few years ago my ubertooth was grabbing LAPs without difficulty. It's not a dirt-cheap device (150$ all in) but is open and available from a variety of sources. https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/wiki/Capturing-BLE-in-Wireshark https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/wiki/Capturin...
- ttflee 9y agoWould this process also work for WiFi usb dongles, which also operate on 2.4GHz?
