No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Wardriving is back on the menu (don't know that it ever left but feel like it fell out of notice)
Eh, a year and a half ago I caught a guy on a bike using a brute force car opener up and down a street near the job site I was on. Basically the device spits out every key fob door open code on a list until the car opens, or possibly it goes through known permutations used by various companies. What I know for sure is he had a small laptop and a USB antenna and was stopping at every car for a few minutes opening the ones he got, and moving on from the ones he didn't. Caught a decent video of his face and what he was doing for the police before he made off on his bike.
It's a relay attack, it tries to rebroadcast the car signal to the key fob, and rebroadcast the key fob signal back to the car.
They're hoping the key is close enough to the car to be able to relay, but not close enough for the owner to see them doing it.
Idk, it was like 5am and they were right on top of the car. I did think a relay attack, but I figured they'd want to be a bit closer to the houses than they were. shrugs wtf do I know though
