Why is the NSA so good at coming up with sweet codenames for things? I swear it's someone's full time job there.
The real answer? Because these people are just like us, geeks, nerds, techies, early adopters. They are just the same people we live and work with. The film Enemy of the State (1998) was science fiction except with the parts where the techy operators were just normal nerds like us. That what was most scary part of the film not the (at the time fantastic) surveillance.
They are really quite unlike us. And our sets of norms is, shall we say, somewhat different to theirs.

With growing car theft in the US I've been curious about implanting GPS trackers on my own older enthusiast vehicles. There appears to be many options on Amazon but I can't bring myself to trust any of them. Has anyone here gone down that road before?
If you want to diy it, Check out ray Ozzie's recent project featured here on HN recently. Very reasonable priced with one up front payment for (10 ?) years of connectivity
$49 for the device and data: https://blues.io/

-Wouldn't an airtag (or two...) fit the bill nicely?
(Assuming even car thieves use iPhones there's some poetic justice to be served in their own smartphones bringing them down...)

Check out AutoPi. Open source, plugs into your ODBII port so you can not only track your car but also get maintaince alerts etc.

When I was frequently using things like this on coworkers in red teaming (back when being in an office was a thing) putting my own desktop in a steel cage with a good lock proved effective against retaliation. Then we moved on to attacking the firmware in each others keyboards.
We just broke the locks on the cages with a screwdriver. Locks only keep honest people honest.
I don't expect good locks to keep people out. I expect good locks to be tamper evident so I know I can't trust my system.

#140It was my firm belief that many of the angry mobs at vote counting offices around the 2020 elections were cover for planting these types of devices. That is very much out of the Roger Stone playbook. The lack of anomalies has shaken that belief… but I do hope that the existence of these types of devices is included in security training for future polling staff.
I vote (so to speak) for paper ballots and voter ID. Of course in that case, Roger Stone's guy would have won handily.
Be nice if convicted felon Roger Stone or his guy had ever presented evidence of that in a court room. In federal court it's sanctionable for a lawyer to lie to the court. Did you notice that Sidney Powell, the former guy's attorney, was sanctioned and referred to the bar for disciplinary action for providing fraudulent information in court in connection with a 2021 presidential election related lawsuit? Not a good look for someone who claims to have been cheated.
