What kind of range can you achieve with WiFi beacons for OMG Cable payload triggers? Would you believe over a mile in an city environment? MG, Dade and Darren pair a WiFi Pineapple Mark VII and the new OMG Cable in downtown Oakland to find out.

@O.MG-MG3 years ago For anyone looking for extra clarity:
A Wifi Pineapple is attached to a parabolic antenna, up in the apartment building. We brought a few prototype OMG Cables down to the street and plugged them into Dade’s Android phone. The OMG Cable is configured to run a payload every time it sees the SSID from the Pineapple. The payload types the word “ping” into Dade’s Signal chat client and sends it to me. When my phone receives the chat message from Dade, it plays the loud chime sound that you keep hearing throughout the video.
This was my first time range testing the new OMG Cables in such a noisy RF environment. I was crossing my fingers that we would see 200-300meters, maybe 400 if we were lucky. So it was pretty mind blowing to see us hit 1mile (1600meters) and simply running out of road before we found the limits of the trigger range. ... 67

@darkguardian13143 years ago Oh, I though you were in Oregon.
This must have been shot before your road trip. :)
Fascinating...
Radio waves are weird and may turn the building into a reflector dish.
There's all kinds of interference in an urban environment.
I remember using a water tower as an antenna to extend my range.
I just have to park next to it to use my CB to talk to my dispatcher in Camp Lejeune.
Normally, I couldn't reach them since I was outside the coverage area. ... 1

@80563671743 years ago First off thank you all for putting informative videos to help educate us that are trying to learn. I have an android and trying to obtain solid proof my phone has been compromised. I have screen recordings that certs apps I use to log all the shady stuff going on but can't figure out how to identify who or where it's being routed to. Can I use an omg cable on myself to pull the info I need? I hope I am wording this right, it's frustrating trying to figure out ways to do it. I know factory reset will erase everything but that is putting a bandaid on it for only a temporary fix. I want to prove to the local law enforcement they are wrong, to take action, and to learn maybe they should listen to people trying to get help like this instead of leaving it up to someone like me who isn't knowledgeable enough to do it. Any input and help would be literally life saving. ... 1

@davidlee502 years ago Is there a way to check the fidelity of the signal by going into buildings and seeing the signal penetration level? One person on the outside and a roaming person going into buildings just to see if it can penetrate the building material? Maybe leave something in a building then opening it after dark? ...
@

@groundzero.3 years ago at that freq that your running its "line of sight" + or - interference. at the elevation of the antenna plus the 20db of gain you can reach much further. Point it more horizontal and go 5 miles to another building rooftop and you will hit as long as no other building is taller in between. ...

@joeltyler34273 years ago Yeah. Funny thing about that. He no longer lives in that area. 3
@

@arrowinmygluteusmaximus3 years ago Maybe you can use 2 or more wifi SSIDs to calculate the exact location. (so for example only trigger the payload in a specific room.)
you might be able to measure round trip latency to get an approximate distance.
Or relative signal strength.
Or crazier, if the time between SSID broadcasts is precise you might be able to use time difference between receiving the 2 SSIDs as "I'm x meters further from wifi a than b"
Or a combination of all 3. ... 1

That’s awesome

@Zed00863 years ago Great content! But outside with a mask on while being vaxed? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 can not compute.
@

@r33tr0w33 years ago My man Darren, listen mate ... your "bandana tube mask" is cool and all but if it ain't any filtering like an propper (M.2) mask or something even better you are kinda worsening your odds of catching germs and so forth. Hopefully your vaccinated or else... Wear something else next time. Wish you the best 😇 ...
