Heh. Some guy hijacked Sarah Fisher's radio frequency at the Indy 500

hahhaa OWNNNNNNNNED


so fucking bad

It was like thoses kids that highjacked the burger king speaker saying "You are too fat to have a hamburger" :P

haha thats great i wonder how he happend upon that how the signal is sent to the drivers headsets whether it's a radio frequency or a wifi frequency

reminds me of the kid that jacked the burger king drive through frequency and told people they're to fat and hsouldnt be eating bk

read the thread much ?

is it a rule that i must quote what he says and cannot type it out for myself...

you didn't read it did you lol

Not being american, I cant say for sure, but shouldnt the FCC's rules stop this kind of thing generally. Since the equipment they'd have been using would have been outside the bands commonly available to your average person through retail equipment.

Although, clearly, the system (if i'm even correct) didnt work here.

the kids who took over the burger king speaker, used tactics called wardriving i don't kno if any of you are familiar but the signal was sent to the box via a wifi signal and they picked up on the signal piggybacked it and were broadcasting what they wanted probably the same idea here it's not they had some sofisticated radio equipment or anything all you need is a laptop and a good wifi card i don't know if thats how the signal she is recieving in her headset is a radio frequency or a wifi frequency thats why i was asking cause someone could literally sit in the stands with a laptop and a wifi card or in the parking lot ofr that matter

i don't think the FCC regulates WIFI do they as of yet? i mean wifi is extremely insecure if you don't know how to set it up correctly correct?

Little crash course on civilian signals intelligence...

Wardriving is for finding computer networks, hotspots, wireless access points, not drive-up resturant windows.

If you want to listen into radio frequencies that you have no idea what or where they are, you would make use a of a unit called a frequency recorder. Probably the best unit on the civilian marketplace is the Optoelectronics Scout.



Couple this with an AOR8200 series scanner, and with reaction tuning, you could listen into just about anything, and depending where you bought the scanner from, that could include the older cellular commications. (U.S. units are cellular blocked)



Figure spending about $1K USD for this package, between scanners, frequency recorders, antennas and software.

You used to see guys at coventions here in Chicago with older versions of this package listening into the calls from their competitors.

People who break into communications are almost as low as it gets, Its hard enough to compete in the Indy 500 without having the stress of some dork talking to you in the middle of the race, its even lower when they break into emergency communications.

lol

I don't think so. All you need to hijack a drive through window is a ham radio.

Being from the south, I have had many a friend with a 4x4 pickup and a CB radio. One buddy had one with an amplifier thing that boosted the range on it. We would get in a drive through and he would key it up while the person in front of us was ordering and when they were done he would ask for like 10 extra things. lmao...
