>Finally, none of this is even slightly new. A presentation from Def Con in 2016 covered this, demonstrating that Nest cameras could be blocked in the same way. The industry doesn't seem to have learned from this.
Well that's a kind of fundamental flaw of Wifi networks, so you're kinda stuck with this if you use Wifi, nope ?
- Piskvorrr 7y agoSays in the article "unless you use 802.11w" So, fixable; just not supported by everything.
- londons_explore 7y agoEven 802.11w doesn't fix the fundamental problem... WiFi runs in an unlicensed band, and anything else in those bands might disrupt it. There is no service guarantee. You should never rely on it working, especially not for security or safety.
- mjg59 7y agoAnything running over rf is vulnerable to jamming. It's really just a matter of how much disruption an attacker is willing to cause.
- capableweb 7y ago> Anything running over rf is vulnerable to jamming Yeah, and the same sentence can be changed to "Anything running anywhere is vulnerable to something" and it's still true. I guess the valuable lessons are "There is never any service guarantee" and "something will always go wrong" when you want to built something reliable.
