Hi! I don't read attack papers from the same academic perspective I would an HCI paper. I have a language question. The paper states this is a "Wi-Fi localization exploit". I thought it was just a known thing that if you use wifi, you can be tracked in... that way? The paper states: >Wi-Peep exploits loopholes in the 802.11 protocol to elicit responses from Wi-Fi devices on a network that we do not have access to. It then uses a novel time-of-flight measurement scheme to locate these devices To be clear, I think that "novel time-of-flight-measurment scheme" is a cool algorithm, and definitely capital R research. But is the meta level idea you can sense where someone is if they're connected to wifi an exploit? I thought that was a known trade off of using wifi, and the source of all those "bring back the headphone port" memes. (Also, I absolutely was the source of many of those memes and Tim Apple, if you're listening, I also wanna be able to change my own goddamn battery.)
