We still like to believe in an archaic concept called privacy, however in recent times this has become somewhat an illusion. Our lives are now audited - from surveillance cameras on every street corner to reward cards that track our purchases and ISPs/telcos who record our internet activity and record our conversations. We continue to be outraged when privacy leaks occur but yet everyday literally millions of us walk around with a tracking device in our pocket. In this talk I present findings from a number of Bluetooth tracking stations which are located around Auckland and have been running for many months, picking up over 5000 new unique Bluetooth devices per week. Topics include tracking individuals (I mean you!), social trends over time, fingerprinting devices and an analysis of common attack techniques on susceptible Bluetooth devices. Please contact me on admin at bluetrax.org.nz if you have a premise overlooking a busy area in NZ and are willing to run a tracking station and share a couple of megs of data for uploads per day.
