Ambient Intelligence Hacking

I'll be posting little bits and bobs I find that let you abuse the abusers. There's security, there's SIGINT and then there's Ambient Intelligence - a combination of the two that just shouldn't happen.

I don't endorse the act of theft, or fraud, or the virus. At the same time I don't endorse the way in which we are becoming reality stars of data-collecting parasites, sensors of consumption and international paranoia. We're becoming not just numbers in a database, but moving binary code that shifts and sorts according to preference and suggestion. Its a step in the wrong direction, and one that too many are willing to take.

So here I'll be posting ways in which you can use some monitors for fun. Maybe you can figure out some way to get back at people, but for me, it's just for fun. I intend to express in other forms, but maybe, just maybe, someone will pick something up and do something with it.

Oh, and not all of things on here will be evil, one or two might actually be of some sincere use, but still, it's fun to listen in on the listeners.

[EDIT] Ambient Intelligence doesn't exist yet per sé, but we're accelerating towards it with various technologies, some of which will be featured here.
