Mainly just wanted to say, this is an absolutely fantastic hack and I loved reading about it - thank you for sharing!

I guess if I have one question, it would be... what else are you planning to do with your new Faraday cage?



I'm thinking of making it easy to "teleport" to any location within the cage

Imagine typing in coordinates or picking a location on a map, and then suddenly your phone or any other device is at that location inside the cage, by a combination of GPS, cellular and WiFi spoofing

My former manager called it a portal haha: https://x.com/masadfrost/status/1856467695606345756


Thank you for reading and the kind words! We're almost looking forward to this loophole being shut down to really make things a tad bit more challenging haha

We've got some ideas for the Faraday cage—a whole bunch of networks research and hacking that we can do without messing up live systems! It's also really nice to be able to test a device in isolation, without worrying about whether it's phoning back home in some way.

This is a great attitude in the face of a pretty sad 2024 reality: that the manufacturer of a device is expected to intentionally go out of its way to remotely stop users from using the device they bought in the way they want to use it.
