Ever wonder how LTE-based IoT devices communicate over the internet? I modified a Chinese GPS tracker that is in common use in the US and got the cell modem to communicate with internet systems other than the GPS tracker's cloud servers.

Shocking true story explains why Iran abandoned GPS: In 1993 a Chinese ship delivering goods to Iran was stranded when the US remotely stopped its GPS ability. The US said the ship was carrying Chinese WMDs. (The intel was wrong.) But the weaponization of GPS horrified the world

Reporter: Is it true that you do not use your mobile phone for communication ? NSA Ajit Doval: It is true that I do not use the internet. I use my mobile phone only to speak with my family on personal matters and to communicate with foreign leaders when required. A mobile phone is not the only means of staying in touch. There are several other modes of communication that the public may not be aware of. Smiles Enigmatically.....

To start off, this video talks about radio frequencies and how they are used for protocols like BLE, WiFi and LTE (cellular service). Which are all protocols that are phones use everyday to keep it interconnected to other devices whether it's locally or over the internet. Thoughts 💭 ⁉️

I discussed the problems with centralizing the internet (on us-east-1 in particular!) with Lex Fridman just this summer: How we've strayed from DARPA's original design, forgotten how enjoyable and profitable owning servers can be, yet still can be thankful for the cloud gifts.

Tonight it was reported that the NZ govt has had its email system hacked. Just a reminder that digital systems bring risk, heck airline systems have been hacked. Everything is hackable. In fact in recent years literally millions of cars have been affected by hacked systems. What National hasn’t explained to the public is that GPS tracking technology is infinitely hackable. Multi billion dollar Japanese company Subaru has just this year found 800k of their vehicles have been hacked and surveilled, allowing cars to be started remotely and stolen. Story here : In 2022 Bloomberg reported that all GPS trackers can be hacked - with no known fix. Criminals could access real-time location data, enabling stalking, harassment, or vehicle theft. Tracking devices were also linked to crimes like domestic violence and attempted murder, indicating misuse by bad actors. Bishop claims the devices will only record distance travelled - bullshit. The devices will know whether you are using the vehicle on a public or a private road - how does it know that? It tracks you in real time like all these systems do. The weakness of this technology is inherent : Any GPS reliant technology is vulnerable, especially if it is A)low cost B) works with an API (application process interface) C) made in China The CEO of EROAD, the NZ company believed to get the contract spoke to ZB about how it would work. New cars will have a SIM card entered and an API used (see B) old cars will need hardware installed “we will make sure we use the cheapest technology possible” yikes! (See A) When asked how secure it is - his response “pretty robust” “fairly robust” “can’t really be tampered with” - doesn’t sound reassuring does it ? Made in China- well chances are the transponders will be made there won’t they ? (See C) I mean imagine invading a country - wouldn’t it be an awesome just to turn off everyone’s cars via a compromised GPS tracking system ? Listen below for the interview with EROAD’s CEO. Here are just a few GPS networks that have been compromised . 🔴MiCODUS MV720 GPS Trackers: 2022 This Chinese-made GPS tracker, used in approximately 1.5 million vehicles across 169 countries was accessed by hackers to remotely control the car, cut off fuel, disable vehicles, and surveil movements. Hackers could track vehicle locations, manipulate data, or immobilise vehicles, posing risks to individual consumers, government agencies, and corporations (e.g., Fortune 50 firms, military, and law enforcement). The vulnerabilities were deemed critical, with govt agencies jointly involved to secure the corrupted technology. 🔴ProTrack and iTrack GPS Trackers: In 2019, a hacker gained remote access to nearly 30,000 accounts of ProTrack and iTrack GPS trackers, both were Chinese-made. The hacker could track vehicles, access location histories, and even stop or accelerate the cars. The breach affected 27,000 accounts worldwide, allowing unauthorised tracking and control of vehicles. This vulnerability highlighted the risks of poor security practices in low-cost GPS trackers. 🔴Tracki GPS Tracker In 2024, a researcher found major security flaws in Tracki GPS trackers, sold by Trackimo and its subsidiaries. Hardcoded usernames and passwords in the web portal, customer support tools exposed location data, affecting up to 12 million users globally. The devices were marketed for vehicle tracking. 🔴Malwarebytes, August 2022. The report noted that Trackimo’s helpdesk assisted with nonconsensual tracking, and the data breach made it possible for criminals to monitor vehicles without consent. 🔴Thinkrace GPS Trackers In 2019, researchers found consistent API vulnerabilities in Thinkrace GPS trackers, used in vehicles, pet collars, and children’s watches. Most API calls lacked authentication, with devices allowing hackers to track users, change user emails, and force firmware updates at least 370 devices across 80 domains were vulnerable.

Introducing Raptor—a first-of-its-kind software suite that unlocks next-gen GPS resilience for autonomous drone systems. Now, when GPS goes blind, your mission doesn’t have to. These software products use a drone’s native camera and Maxar’s unique global 3D data to deliver a breakthrough terrain-based positioning system. Drones can navigate with extreme precision and extract accurate ground coordinates in the absence of GPS. Take a closer look: #autonomy #drones #GPS #UAV #UAS

Found a simple vulnerability the other day in a Chinese IoT camera. SSL communications were going out to a cloud server without validating the server certificates. This led us to be able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack and intercept the SSL communications.

🔥It’s confirmed—Trump wasn’t lying. A Chinese crew member has verified that the United States truly possesses a “super weapon” capable of completely knocking out the other side’s signals. A large Chinese vessel in the Strait of Hormuz reportedly lost its signal entirely. The operating ship experienced a total GPS signal blackout. In the video, a Chinese crew member complains that the clock was running unusually fast and that the GPS signal had become chaotic and disrupted.
