I've seen people use IR to re-program Arduino boards before, and I think it would be pretty cool if someone wrote a self-replicating program that could be passed on just by standing in front of another attendee for the length of a normal short conversation. I'm guessing someone could come up with a pretty interesting/artistic use for a botnet of a few hundred Arduino badges in one location.
- ms7821c 14y agoGood plan - we'll be putting up some framework code on the TiLDA repo at https://github.com/emfcamp/TiLDA https://github.com/emfcamp/TiLDA, so feel free to submit pull requests before the event.
- stinos 14y agowhat if someone writes a virus and passes it via IR?
- K2h 14y ago... and at 12:00 noon every ones red light on the badge turns on.... that would be pretty funny.
- Eduardo3rd 14y agoI guess you could always disable the IR receiver via a pretty quick hardware or software hack once you got your badge if that was a concern.
- mattstreet 14y agoQuick hardware hack == piece of dark/thick tape.

- wgx 14y agoIf they had these badges at DEFCON that would happen for sure. :)
