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 š)
Dan Goodin@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.
Jae Bochs@chris_kirsch @dangoodin since weāre starting to wind down, Iāll 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.
Thereās no data collected, itās just sending out BLE advertisement packets that donāt require pairing (and as such arenāt stopped by the control center toggle).
Hoping by next DC to have it working with the new iOS17 āNameDropā features, and potentially do something similar for android (at least certain models). Either way Iāll probably submit it for a talk.
@jb0x168 @dangoodin very cool - thanks for letting me know! Looking forward to the talk!
