This IoT Mesh Network Watches You As You Shop - Without Cameras

We built an IoT mesh network to help understand shopper behavior, without using cameras.

Online retailers know a lot about how their customers are navigating their virtual stores. Offline retailers are not so lucky.

Together with consumer behavior experts B:Clarity and a multinational home appliance brand we built a system to help understand customer movement and behavior.

The system consists of wireless sensors that are installed in electronics stores. A few hundred sensors in each store.

💡 There are two types of sensors:

👉🏼 Vibration sensors. That trigger when someone is trying out a product.

👉🏼 Light sensors. Trigger when someone is standing in front of a product.

With these sensors, we can see what items are most popular, how it correlates to sales data – and how to take action to improve sales.

But without collecting any personally identifiable information.

Hardware Security Threats Against #Bluetooth #Mesh Networks

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8433184/authors#authors

Security risks of Bluetooth

Man-in-the-middle attacks (#MITM):
Bluetooth connections can be susceptible to eavesdropping attacks if strong encryption is not used. Older Bluetooth versions (before 4.2) are particularly risky.

#Bluejacking & #bluesnarfing:
Attackers could try to send unwanted messages (bluejacking) or even steal data from devices (bluesnarfing).

Traceability:
Bluetooth devices often send unique #MAC addresses, which makes users traceable.

Weak standard pairing methods:
Many devices still use simple PINs or confirm connections without verification (e.g. "Just Works" mode with Bluetooth LE).

Risks specific to Bluetooth mesh networks

Mesh networks increase the attack surface:
Each device in the mesh acts as a relay, which means that a compromised device could influence the entire data traffic.

Lack of end-to-end encryption:
If the app/software does not implement additional encryption, messages can be forwarded in plain text.

Decentralized management:
Without centralized control, it is difficult to identify and remove malicious nodes.

#TBOT Show 7: The Significance of Dorsey’s Bitchat, Worlds First eSIM Hack, Mexico’s Digital ID, New Show Source Insights

Took a week off and now I’m back. 😎 (with a new addition to the show?!) (also - big sorry for the show being 40 minutes)

WATCH THE SHOW ON SUBSTACK

Here’s the stories for the week:

Jack #Dorsey’s #Bitchat - The Real Story: The tech mogul Jack Dorsey released a censorship proof messaging app in late June - named Bitchat. It runs a #bluetooth #mesh network, end to end #e2e #encryption, and rolling IDs and is picking up traction. I share my thoughts on the app, and concerns I have - but that’s not even the real story. I think Jack has a bigger message than just the app.

World’s First #eSIM Hack: A security lab out of Poland just demonstrated a hack on one of the largest SIM providers for IoT devices. We’ll get techy in our understanding and ask the question, could this impact our phones?

#DigitalID, Coming Soon To #Mexico: The Mexican government has signed a new #Biometric #ID law, known as the CURP. How is this enforced and what does it mean for Mexican residents? Find out today.

Decentralized #Video Conferencing: Recently I’ve been relying more on video conferences instead of calling people, especially while traveling. Good thing I’ve got the #Jitsi app, I’ll show you my setup!

I Built a $20,000 Military Router for $106.23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofR7GFNZzJY

The Military contacted me...

I reverse-engineered a $20,000 military IP mesh radio using just $106.23 in open-source parts. This isn't a gimmick—it's a fully functional MANET router capable of push-to-talk, GPS sharing, ATAK integration, and more. In this video, I’ll show you how I built it, tested it, and deployed it in the real world—no subscriptions, no middlemen, just raw decentralized power. Whether you're off-grid, mission-ready, or just sick of Big Tech, this changes everything.
