Program your flipper0 to record all wireless identifications for a few weeks. hook broadcaster to amplifier and attach to your car playing all the time. Every time you drive by one of these, it'll look like a parade just went by.

Probably do the same thing when you go into retail stores. just flood the place with every possible identification.

Maybe an easier solution is just write something that spoofs hundreds of fake ids and sends them out constantly where ever you go; bonus points if you can create IDs that can break the devices when they try to parse it.

Flipper Zero (without extra hardware) doesn't do 2.4 GHz for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (or 5GHz Wi-Fi).

On the other hand, I'd bet for under $10 you could build something with an ESP32 and a battery and solar panel that could spoof signals these things will believe all day.

I'd start with transmitting signals with MAC vendor prefixes identifying Axon Tasers and Bodycams. Make it look like there's thousands of cops going past every day.

I'd love it if someone managed to get a bluetooth and wifi sniffer close enough to the CEO of Flock and publish that fingerprint. Or sneak a sniffer into a Flock board meeting and sniff out all the board members and c suite's devices. Or a meeting of local politicians and cops who're supporting and paying for this. I mean, that can't possibly be illegal or even wrong, if they're doing it wholesale, right?

Flipper Zero has Bluetooth built in, that's how the phone app works.

I don't know how much control the apps have over it, but there were definitely Flipper apps to abuse the BLE auto-pairing feature of a lot of devices and spam popups to nearby phones.

Your method sounds like a good way to inject noise into the system -- and perhaps it is. Except the article describes integrating this MAC-sniffing business into ALPR camera installations.

In this way: You drive by with your noisemaking-device, and it records that noise along with the presence of your license plate.

It won't take a senior data analyst to correlate the bursts of noise with your proximity. Instead, you'll stand out like a sore thumb and they'll see you coming even before they have optical line-of-sight.

(It could scale, but as a practical matter it simply won't. Most people aren't interested in this kind of obfuscation; it'd be amazing to me if even 1/10,000 people were to actually adopt it. This level of rarity would identify you as one of the 0.01% of troublemakers.)

I totally agree with the sentiment that interested parties are few and far between, but they exist. I have several disparate layers of obfuscation on the data I generate that I have control over. I understand that that is a signal in itself, but I'd rather my signal be a fog than rich data points.

My wife calls it paranoia but I call it protest.

Noises that are easy to identify also tend to be easy to eliminate.

I wish I felt better about this idea, but it seems like it'll be very trivial to erase.

(But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it!)

There are very few ways to fight stuff like this and 100% agree this is a good one. I predict we are gonna need so much more of this type of obfuscation to just live our lives normally.

What's needed is a privacy non-profit that can park it right there and not just drive by.

[puppycodes]

Good idea for sure

[AndrewKemendo]

I have a F0 but it’s been sitting in my drawer any links to good scripts to run for this?

I used to go pop teslas all the time but that got old

[parlortricks]

Wouldn't you need a marauder for that?

[stevenhubertron]

Seems like a great use for Fable ;)

These are the comments I'm here for. We aren't powerless to this shit. We just have to get create with our protest.
