I think any red team just reads this and is like “duh”
My house has sigint like this so I know who’s arriving without any cameras
This is elementary
Yeah, really.
I guess the normies are finally figuring out what ‘enable precise location’… actually means?
smdh
… are we gonna get to the point where somebody like you with essentially invasive local telemetry… is basically like a low level 40k psyker?
… and then someone who actually just turns all that shit off and doesn’t send out those signals… is like a blank?
a void is still data
Presise location has nothing to do with it, ur phone is emitting rf beacons all the time.
Scanning for wifi and Bluetooth… it’s like sonar, everyone sees you scanning.
Not many phones passive scan, they send out queries to make itself “helpful” to consumers
Thats… thats what ‘precise location’ is.
Google or whoever, they have a gigantic map of all entirely or mostly stationary wifi and bluetooth connection points.
When you have your phone on, and drive or walk past them… your phone is recognizing it is within range of whatever stationary networks, has whatever signal strength to them, even if it isnt actually connecting to them.
So, you measure those too, and then combine that with the gps map, where the stationary wifi/bt locations have known locations.
Whamo presto, your location is now more precise.
that’s why all my devices are hardwired, or just don’t exist. currently shopping for a smart (because it’s offline online) mp3 player so I can ensure my phone is left at home
IMO an older used Android phone in airplane mode makes a great MP3 player. Lots of options for like $30-50 on eBay and a lot of them will have headphone jacks and microSD card slots.
This is the conclusion I came to after looking to buy a simple mp3 player to play binaural beats through earbuds when I sleep at night. An old cell phone has super long battery life if you put it on airplane mode and play mp3s, and has tons of storage space. Honestly, an old cell phone blows away any reasonably priced mp3 player.
… ya know. that’s not a bad idea. I should pull out my HTC raider and use that. ty
