Fun fact: I have a walkthrough metal detector in my house - I hack 'em!

They are vulnerable to interference, forced false positives*, and IR attacks!

What would you do if you could hack one?

*In the model shown, the false positive rate could only be forced to 50% (half of the time) due to manufacturer configurations.

@dnsprincess Does 'IR attack' stand for 'infrared'? Can IR radiation influence a metal detector? 😯
@INCO do you see on the right panel a little rectangle? That's an IR sensor! You can use a flipper on it!
