Jamming GPS Signals Is Illegal, Dangerous, Cheap, and Easy (2017)
- _sbrk 7y agoGood article, and shows the vulnerability of GPS to simplistic devices. eLoran was proposed as a ground-based backup to GPS for situations such as this, as jamming that signal would take resources your ordinary consumer wouldn't have. However, the funding for this was nixed and most/all of the towers were torn down.

- JoeAltmaier 7y agoOverstated? Radar isn't going away. But most folks don't have radar. Aircraft 'ping' their gps location all the time. Receivers for this are on the market. This is extra data (when available) for pilots and small-town airports to use, to increase safety.
- vijayr02 7y agoI found this article researching a question someone had asked on that thread :)
- polishdude20 7y agoWait so this guy put his tracker stations into black boxes with FBI markings on them? Isn't that highly illegal to be impersonating FBI equipment or something?
- n4r9 7y agoDoubt it. The article says the markings are "for federal agencies that don’t actually exist".
- jessaustin 7y agoDoesn't everyone name SSIDs etc. "FBI Surveillance"? I think you have to more directly impersonate them to be guilty of... impersonating.
- jessaustin 7y agoI'm kind of fascinated by the tire pressure broadcasts. Combined with a camera for one-time ID, this could power a really comprehensive tracking system. Gostomelsky was able to receive these at the curb; I wonder how much further they would go?
- garaetjjte 7y agoSpoofing GPS position is also surprisingly trivial, it can be done with cheap SDR.
