The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released an open source project called Rayhunter. It is designed to run on an inexpensive (~$20) mobile hotspot and look for signs of mobile spying devices called cell-site simulators. Also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers, they masquerade as legitimate cellphone towers, tricking phones w/in a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.

This is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist. Many folks think wheelchairs are only for those who can't walk at all, or folks who can only take a couple steps.

Wheelchairs and electric scooters are used due to pain, weakness, balance issues, orthostatic intolerance, etc.

Hope you like them as much as I liked writing them!

Public disclosure was made today so finally I can talk about how I managed to get full access to the Minut M2 IoT device. There will also be a video series, first episode linked below.

The Minut devices (M3 is their newest, my exploit was for the M2) are most often used by short-term rental hosts and before the vendor released new firmware based in my findings there was a real possibility not only that guests could misbehave without the host knowing about it (the product promise) but also that a guest could persist surveillance of any future guests.

Kudos to Minut for having been excellent to work with and amazingly fast at reacting to my report.
