They can triangulate the location of wireless devices without line of sight, by repeatedly measuring 1-dimensional distance data and sampling from multiple measuring locations. Kinda like how GPS works. The data is positioning only, and indirectly/approximately derived.

I wouldn't call that "seeing through walls" as if it's an x-ray camera. I might say "it can see the 3d position of wireless devices through walls, but no visuals, it can just see the spots the things are at."

They can also reverse-engineer what the device is likely to be, by cross-referencing its unique MAC address with the manufacturer that has reserved those addresses. So, something by Apple is probably a computing device or an AirPort router or whatever.

I dunno, man, this headline feels way too hyped up. A persistent person could definitely profile where stuff is in your building, but that's a hell of a lot of effort to case a joint than just traditional means, IMO. Sounds like the kind of stuff only spies would care about, or organized crime maybe.

X-ray vision comes out soon.

That’s it. It’s over for us.

Check their hard drives.

It's easier to do this using 5G.

I seem to remember USSOCOM actually putting out a contract opportunity for related tech about a year ago. Wonder what became of that.

Exactly what I was thinking. Apple is taking advantage of the caste system, an unforgivable Offense in a western company.

I’ll tell you what’s invasive, the Gizmodo page the article was on. Yes So many good damn ads popping up everywhere. I felt like I was playing fruit ninja ads edition

That’s considered hacking… walling is not allowed in real life.

1.5 times a pittance is still a pittance.

I don’t know why this is being down voted. India is as corrupt as the mafia. You can do anything you want as long as you pay off the right government official. That’s why their environment is so screwed up – – they have regulations against pollution but they’re not enforced and differ from region to region. What sense does that make, when we all have to share the same water and air?

So basically a fancy version of sticking a wifi pineapple to an off the shelf drone. Neat but not particularly innovative.

Wifi xray has been out for years. Radar has been used to track russian submarine commanders based on face.

Well water reacts particularly well, and we’re mostly water. So it can be used to track people inside a building fairly well. And because wifi is providing the “active” part of this active scanner, it can be done very covertly. It would be hard to detect that someone is monitoring your building.

But that isn’t what this article is about.

"Alexa, where is the human?"

CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, ATF, and all the other letter people are drooling right now

Lucius Fox would like a word

June 28, 2009 - the date of Stephen Hawkins’s time travel party. It’s a shame that the dates were the same. Time travelers all were unable to attend the party because they had to be in time court on that day.

Esp is the hack function to see shit through walls on old school counter strike hacks. Are these actual Myg0t researchers?

Reminds me of this TED talk. They used wifi signals to track vital signs of a person and movement through walls.

The ass-backwards U.S. healthcare “system” would grind to a halt without fax. It’s the only way all the various greedy players truly interoperate.

So the headline is clickbait. Welp, color me surprised! /s

Apologies, forgot where I was

US Government, "OMG that's so inappropriate and super invasive, we'll take 1000"

Damn, so not only the title, but the first few paragraphs is misleading af. That's like saying 'I used a $20 device to do X'... after attaching it to my $500 Y.

Garbage article.
