"Blueborne" exploit is rampant. Does your device have Bluetooth? It's shipping off your data in the middle of the night.
BT has like a 25ft range tho....
It's not about the range, it's about the fact that there is no handshake required to transmit information.
It just blasts it out, when exploited. So, in a crowd... like at a concert... there are all kinds of things happening.
The truth is more people need to be actively using tools like Wireshark to understand what is passing through the air around them.
Wireshark is fun.
Was messing around with wifi one time. I see a new wifi network pop up. Police_Car857 or to that effect. Look out my window as a cruiser passes by. Huh didnt know LEO have wifi in there cars.
It would be great if similar tools were more prolific, so normies could visual packets around us at any given moment.
their, and why not? I use PDANet+ to make a hotspot if I need to use internet on one of my spare devices. I have an old phone that I take with me and only use for text communication connected to public hotspots so I'm not carrying my spying device everywhere I go.
Depends on which frequency is being used. Some have a range of up to half a mile.
