- kcb2, on 01/01/2008, -2/+73maybe this will get all the people who leave their headset on when they aren't on the phone to turn them off - and take them off their damn ear.
Probably not.... - Wiini, on 01/01/2008, -10/+70Most consumer bluetooth headsets have to be put into an initialization mode for this to work. You can't simply point your antenna at an ear piece and begin listening in, because the headset device won't be accepting new initializations ('pairing, bonding') from other hardware. To put a device into pairing mode, you usually have to hold one or more buttons on the device down for x amoun of seconds.
In otherwords, this video is a crock. Unless the person leaves their headset unpaired and ready for initialization (never paired with their phone), this doesn't work. Hence why he did a 'dramatization' rather than an actual demonstration. He's just trying to get hits to his stupid ass website. - masterc, on 01/01/2008, -0/+43Someone should do this and play over the headset "You look like a big idiot with me stuck in your ear. Take me out when you're not in a call, you blutard!"
- marx2k, on 01/01/2008, -2/+21And what you'd hear:
"Like oh my god! I'm like totally at a red light!"
"Really??!"
"Yeah! And I like picked up the detergent and stuff."
"No kidding? What'd you eat for lunch?"
"Taco Bell"
"No way!! ME TOO!"
"WHOA!" - sarthorn, on 01/01/2008, -2/+21"...allowing audio to be captured or *sent* to the device:"
"Hello, this is God speaking. Repent from your ways or be damned to hell for all eternity."
"Hey you! Yes, you! I know you watch goat porn when your wife's not home!"
Oh the endless fun you could have with this... - Birdoftruth, on 01/01/2008, -2/+16I think you mean WEP
- eldertaco, on 01/01/2008, -3/+17or alternatively, that hack is 2 1/2 years old and only works on 2 1/2 year old bluetooth headsets?
- jsd8cc, on 01/01/2008, -1/+13Not according to this:
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7461 - inactive, on 01/01/2008, -3/+14I'm drunk
- seanmc303, on 01/01/2008, -1/+12You're a dupe
- blaket, on 01/01/2008, -0/+10MITCH That remains to be seen, Kent. But we are having a conversation.
KENT I have to metabolize this. Um... who is this?
MITCH (V.O.) This is Jesus, Kent, and you've been a very naughty boy.
KENT (cracking up, laughing) All right! Who is this?! Bodie? Carter?
MITCH (V.O.) I am known by many names. I am the One. Turn to me and be saved.
KENT Oh, Sure.
MITCH (V.O.) Cut the crap, Kent, you've built a weapon.
KENT How did you know that?
MITCH (V.O.) I know everything.
KENT Oh. God. - inactive, on 01/01/2008, -6/+16Not according to this http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
- deadbaby, on 01/01/2008, -0/+10The guy with the +9db antenna cares.
- FoxMcCloud1, on 01/01/2008, -2/+11drunk and dizzy , weeeee!
- andycr512, on 01/01/2008, -0/+9If the privacy -can- be easily invaded, then the standard is done wrong. The concept of something which you -can- easily listen into but -won't- for the sake of morality is ludicrous, and if you won't based on morals, someone else will. "Fences make good neighbors." - and encryption makes good communication.
- whahaa, on 01/01/2008, -3/+11i'm drunk.
- Klowner, on 01/01/2008, -0/+5Oh man, I wish I had known this when I had this boss that'd walk around the office wearing this freakin' huge-ass jabra headset ALL THE TIME. If someone would call while you were talking to him, he'd just interrupt you by answering and saying "Hello?".. Most annoying thing ever.
- whahaa, on 01/01/2008, -0/+5we're all dupes.
- Narwaffle, on 01/01/2008, -0/+5Communix!
- Narfmaster, on 01/01/2008, -1/+6As Top Gear puts it, they're all BMW-driving *****.
- Atomic1fire, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4Or this proves that consumers should demand encryption in order to keep privacy
- rivendell, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4In the video, around 1:13, he explains that he is controlling the laptop in his bag using the Nokia 770.
- WorldGroove, on 01/01/2008, -1/+5No... this is about hacking and/or beating the system. The difference, is that 'Big Brother' will eventually do more harm than good with the info. Most Diggers/techies would want to do it, just to see if they could. Despite what the media says, the majority of hackers aren't out to cause harm.
- JudgeMonkey, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4Oh, thanks for the warning. So the video is actually of him putting his dick in another man's ass?
- RubberBinder, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes yeah!
- CatsAreGods, on 01/01/2008, -3/+6...and that article's 2 1/2 years old, so there are probably even more attack methods known by now.
- seovice, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3I lost him after the chick in white walked out of starbucks at 0:22
Damn I'd love to spy on the conversation she's having! - inactive, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3Holy ***** I didn't know that was possible.
- Railer, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3Well said.
- j1ggy, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2I can think of so many ways to have fun with this.
- inactive, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3-rubs hands together- ^)^........-.- this is going to get me in trouble I know it
damn you knowledge!!! - Disease, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3He just wants free wireless.
- ApeInago, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2*slowly raises hand*
- neodorian, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2I love how even on a nerd board like digg, anyone who isn't some jackoff macho man is automatically gay.
- TrippleHead, on 01/01/2008, -3/+5Buried, story had nothing to do with Linux.
- 4U55l3NlNJ4, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2very informative... digg is so much better when you filter out political crap (like taking care of excessive spam).
- 2oonhed, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2he said dupe......dude.
- Ademuth, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3No, dumnass. And hackers wont get off the hook either. If they are caught, they are prosecuted, regardless of weather they meant any harm or not.
- Klowner, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3your mother's face is a dupe
- bah1984, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1MITCH: And from now on stop playing with yourself.
KENT: It IS God!
(Not sure if that's the correct quote, haha) - dotlizard, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1dear god how do we get rid of these spymac douchebags? i don't think i can stand another spam from them.
- abwaters, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1I remember when the hoopla was about radio scanners eavesdropping on analog cordless phones. Every new technology seems to introduce a new way to violate our privacy. This little gem seems to allow capturing or recording audio while a bluetooth device is not actually in a call. This would mean that you can eavesdrop from room-to-room or with a laptop, from car-to-car at a stoplight even when someone is not using their bluetooth headset.
- lengau, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1Finally! Someone actually did a good rickRoll
- krunk4ever, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1Doesn't the bluetooth headset have to be put into pairing mode before it makes a connection with any arbitrary cell phone? Or does this only target only headsets that are always in pairing mode?
- marybaboo, on 01/08/2008, -0/+1DUPE: http://www.tinyduck.com/quack/Car_Wisperer
- 4U55l3NlNJ4, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2it's under Technology/Security not Technology/Linux.
- boyddl, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1this is an old story from at least a month ago. bury it for being a repost.
- Eisim, on 01/01/2008, -1/+2only yours
