Driving home last night, and saw a flock camera pointed in to a field and not at the roadway.

This made me unreasonably happy.

Given how the cameras use ball mount clamps and simple hex tooling, this is a very effective DoS attack. The camera isn't disabled, and is still reporting as normal, just not uploading any traffic, because there is none.

YES!!!

@kajer Everyone needs to hold 80’s police movie nights next to them and crank up the sound.
@kajer when the cops show up tell them it’s a law enforcement appreciation party.
@badsamurai I've often wondered if snapping a belt right under the cam would match it's gunshot detection threshold?
@kajer @badsamurai They used to have so so many false positives for things like that, tailgates slamming, etc. Worth a try.

@cR0w @kajer @badsamurai actually, what you're looking for is the old 'pop cap' paper we used to have in the 80's.

These things.

@rootwyrm @cR0w @kajer @badsamurai I would put a roll of those behind car tires on my friends driveways (to run over when they backed up). I was never around to see/hear the results, so have no idea how loud it was.

@eryops @rootwyrm @cR0w @badsamurai

Caps? they required really high pressure to trigger IIRC. Once when I was a dumb kid, I decided it would be neat to soak the roll of caps in gasoline (gas can for the mower) for a minute before loading and using the capgun.

the flames were awesome, the rapid succession of the rest of the caps all going off at once? once was enough,

Now,,, if you ever got your hands on railroad torpedos Those are LOUD!!!
