If ICE and DHS pop by for a visit, they can knock out your wifi and ring camera to avoid leaving any evidence behind apparently. Cyberpunk future with all the negatives and none of the positives.

Wifi de-authing is trivial, any script kiddie with a flipper zero can knock devices off an SSID. People relying on security cameras should:

  • use wired cameras when possible (if you're renting, at least put a camera monitoring your doorway from the inside)
  • if you must use WiFi, use cameras that record to onboard storage
  • mount the cameras somewhere no hogs can't easily reach, if they notice it

Btw, the flipside of our cyberpunk dystopia is that, theoretically at least, if these hogs have their personal phones (or even a work phone that has connected to their home wifi) on them and those phones have wifi enabled, then they their home networks can be identified by picking up their phone's periodic attempts to connect to it. And with that data, one could potentially map it back to a database of known networks and their approximate GPS coordinates the-more-you-know

then you gotta intercept with stronger ssid local traffic and become cool kiddie (works with wpa1 and maybe 2?)

Wow, so they're using the same tactics as burglars.

Expecting to hear soon

ICE and DHS agents have been provided with bump keys and lockpicks to make it less obvious when they've broken into someone's home

Because why not
