I'm sure it's not coincidental that I got an email today about wired Ring cameras.
Have we yet developed consumer grade counter-jamming tech? Seems like the tech to detect and recognize these attacks shouldn't be very expensive at all, and then it can text you (mobile network, of course) to call the police on the jammers (I imagine the police would get pretty peeved if you don't have a human in the loop.)
From there we can get some sort of adaptive, agile jammers for the criminals, and then FPGAs recording the jammers for processing and recognition at a central anti-jamming-as-a-service company.
Advanced missile warfare for my neighborhood, without the explosives!
- walterbell 4y ago> text you ... to call the police Those with the ability to jam/deauth WPA3 could potentially use an IMSI catcher to block SMS.
- QuarterReptile 4y agoThis is the sort of cat and mouse escalation I was looking for.
- radicaldreamer 4y agoFCC certification states that most consumer devices must accept interference, including that which can cause unintended operation.
- ktta 4y agoThis isn't the same kind of interference. Wi-Fi de-auth attacks are technically still 'interference' but a layer above
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoI believe it also requires devices to not create interference, or something down that line.
- thedangler 4y agoMy place has an old school intercom system that links to the outside with push to talk button. Wonder if I can use the wiring to upgrade it to something more modern. No Ring or anything from amazon or google. Old thing says NuTone on it.
- lazide 4y agoAnti-jamming is as illegal as jamming, unfortunately.
- Maursault 4y agoWhat about giant electromagnets built-into and hidden under the driveway? You could leave the doors unlocked with the keys in the ignition. It may start, but it won't go anywhere until the emagnet is switched-off. A little hard on the shocks and tires, but peace of mind is priceless.
- paranoidrobot 4y ago> A little hard on the shocks and tires, but peace of mind is priceless. "A Florida man was discovered deceased under his vehicle last week with bizarre injuries. Examination of video from a neighbour's security camera shows he was working under his vehicle at the time when suddenly the vehicle crushed him into the driveway. "
- Maursault 4y agoTragic.
- sidewndr46 4y agoWhat would electromagnets underneath your driveway even accomplish?
- csense 4y agoI think the idea is to magnetically pull the car down so hard it's pinned in place on the driveway. Not really practical.
- Maursault 4y agoCorrect. But how could you have figured that out so effortlessly? In my GGP, I had encoded that secret bit of information in a hard encryption known as the English language. You must have somehow uncovered the key, which was reading comprehension. Well done.
- WalterBright 4y ago> Have we yet developed consumer grade counter-jamming tech? Run a hard wire to it. It's simple, and it works.
- iosjunkie 4y agoLook for a deauth detector. On Amazon you can find an ESP8266 preflashed with deauth detection firmware and it includes a hardware buzzer. The firmware is probably something like this: https://github.com/SpacehuhnTech/DeauthDetector https://github.com/SpacehuhnTech/DeauthDetector
- mike_d 4y agoI don't know where they got the deauthing thing from. The majority of criminals are just using straight up jammers from China.
- javajosh 4y agoI can't imagine it's hard to make a jammer given that wifi is often naturally jammed. You could generate very strong signals in the correct frequency range with a modified microwave; you'd just need a way to modulate the signal to make noise, which you might be able to do physically, or by further modifying the microwave (one of those rare times you want a noisy power supply!) Of course, portability might be a problem.
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoI wonder if a standard WiFi router plus directional antenna (and set to the same band) might be enough.
- fest 4y agoStandard WiFi AP only broadcasts short identification/presence beacon frames once a second or so. With a firmware that supports TX99 (a mode where radio is transmitting all the time, typically used for testing/certification process)- easily.
- Gigachad 4y agoYou can buy esp32 boards preprogrammed with wifi deauthing from china too.
- brigade 4y agoI'm reminded of when key fob range extender attacks became common, security people were talking about faraday cages, removing batteries every night, encryption, more complex protocols, and all sorts of crazy stuff to try and protect against it. Car manufactures added a motion sensor to the fobs to disable the signal after being motionless, and that's all that was really needed to kill the attack.
