Welcome to your sci-fi dystopia: Sonic firewalls to crumble inaudible ad-tracking phone cookies • The Register

'Available as open source and as an Android app, SoniControl works by interfering with ultrasonic data transfer. ', "It plays its own inaudible sound through a smartphone's speaker system, masking the acoustic cookies so they're not recognized."

'The silent cookie killer also gives users the option to allow certain acoustic beacons to be set. '

'"There is currently no technology on the market that can detect and block acoustic cookies," said Zeppelzauer, senior researcher the Institute of Creative Media Technologies at St. '

'According to TU Braunschweig research published last year, 234 Android applications that use ultrasonic beacons were found in the Google Play Store. '

Someone wants to build a Raspberry Pi version so you can use it as a jammer and detector?

It has even been theorized that symptoms experienced by US diplomats in Cuba, and more recently in China, may be the result of exposure to ultrasonic waves.

Polybius made real?

We've been here, and ever since 'phreaking' was discovered, there's been the highly exploited potential of hacking anything at a distance....

The future is wavelength technologies. Whether it's sending signals, blocking signals, doesn't really matter what wave form either, could be; light, sound... Can't forget "all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration", with all things having their resonance and tones that make them resonate. That's why there are a few years Stradivarius violins that are priceless due to the growth patterns in the wood in that era, best tonal quality to be had.

Think about it though, it's done become easy to see who is hacking through fiber optic computer lines, would it not be easy to set up a tonal shield around some hardware and it be sensitive to targeted resonance intrusions?

Best way to fuck with phone lines being monitored though; monotone in unison with those you talk to....... Make it sound like a timed prerecorded conversation with yourself.........

Regarding tonal shielding for fiber optic lines-- that's not how it works. Pulses of light are being used to transmit 1's and 0's down the cable. You can't selectively filter a wavelength of an attacker because that isn't how the technologies work.
