HOPE_16 (2025): Data Autonomy: Counter-Surveillance Strategies for Civil Society

Neat! I want a QR code on a facemask that purports to be a contact details page (for what surveillor could turn down such an offering?) and actually quietly gathers data for me/performs counter-surveillance.

Seems to install fine on android via Obtanium... although I can't say I've got it to work yet...

Hear, hear.
Also, credit to the people operating the cameras for signposting it (and/or the legislators who wrote the laws that prompted the camera operators so to do).
I hope I might be forgiven for Sharing a fun poem about dazzle camouflage.
Designed to Dazzle, by Annette Wickham:
Captain Schmidt at the periscope
You need not fall and faint
For it's not the vision of drug or dope,
But only the dazzle-paint.
And you're done, you're done, my pretty Hun.
You're done in the big blue eye,
By painter-men with a sense of fun,
And their work has just gone by.
Cheero!
A convoy safely by.

Endoacustica has introduced the OSCOR GREEN, a high-speed RF spectrum analyzer designed for rapid and reliable detection of concealed surveillance devices. Capable of scanning from 10 kHz to 24 GHz at a rate of 24 GHz per second, this advanced bug detector enables security professionals to conduct comprehensive electronic sweeps with unmatched speed and precision. The device functions as a full-spectrum analysis system, identifying active radio frequency emissions from hidden microphones, GPS trackers, wireless bugs, video transmitters, and other covert devices. Its dynamic range of 90 dB and displayed average noise level (DANL) of -110 dBm (with preamp) allow it to detect extremely weak or intermittent signals that evade conventional detectors. An auto-switching antenna system ensures optimal sensitivity across the entire frequency band. Integrated demodulation capabilities for AM, FM, SSB, sub-carrier, and video signals enable users to not only detect but also analyze transmiss

Looking to make some masks (think surgical masks) that mess with Facial recognition. Something like Hyperface (which I know is not for sale) or other similar fabric. Anyone got any ideas?
