Toronto transit sign hacks
aaron posted in IR hacks on May 10th, 2006
“Stephen Harper eats babies.” — This is how the advertising signs in the Toronto trains referred to the Canadian prime minister after a “hacker” with a $25 remote had some fun. Apparently this is the sixth “attack” in the last year. The same exact signs and remotes are commercially available from places like Sam’s club. The funny thing is that their big counter-measure is to password-protect each of the signs, which will do absolutely nothing to secure them since anyone with 4$ and a radio-shack IR kit could intercept and replay the password and any new message that they want.

My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web site!

So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this issue here on your blog.
