Still had wifi on and had this pop up when walking into the LINQ AT DEF CON today. Heard about this happening to other folks. Anyone know details? (Wifi and Bluetooth are now OFF again šŸ˜‚)
@chris_kirsch I'm curious too.
@dangoodin there was a second pop up about joining an Apple keyboard but I forgot to take a screenshot.

@chris_kirsch @dangoodin since we’re starting to wind down, I’ll come clean: it me.

Also to offer some reassurance: this was built with two purposes - to remind people to *really shut off* Bluetooth (I.e. not from control center) and to have a laugh.

There’s no data collected, it’s just sending out BLE advertisement packets that don’t require pairing (and as such aren’t stopped by the control center toggle).

Hoping by next DC to have it working with the new iOS17 ā€œNameDropā€ features, and potentially do something similar for android (at least certain models). Either way I’ll probably submit it for a talk.

@chris_kirsch @dangoodin for what it’s worth, there are about 15 possible pop ups. The best ones (imo) are: ā€œtransfer your phone numberā€, ā€œyour os is too old for this accessory, click to updateā€ and ā€œadjust your color balanceā€ šŸ˜† (again, none of them will actually do anything)
@jb0x168 @dangoodin very cool - thanks for letting me know! Looking forward to the talk!

Jae, this was awesome.
Totally in the DefCon sprit and made me laugh my ass off.
Looking forward to seeing you do a talk about this.
@jb0x168 @chris_kirsch @dangoodin I use AirPods šŸ„³āš”ļøšŸ™ˆšŸ™‰šŸ™Š
@jb0x168 this was awesome and so annoying šŸ˜‚
@jb0x168 @chris_kirsch @dangoodin On the birdsite I was reading about people who swear they used the Settings app toggle to turn off Bluetooth, and still got the prompt šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
@HenkPoley @chris_kirsch @dangoodin turning off in settings has worked 100% of the time in my testing, afaik it still truly disables the radio
@jb0x168 Is the code available for this? I'd love to use this as some additional examples in a wireless class I teach.
@chris_kirsch happened to me and my wifi and Bluetooth were off. I’m not sure how this works or if you can stop the pop ups.
@zenbanjoman I heard the same from someone else. Would love it if someone would take some PCAPs!
