/cyber/ - Cyberpunk & Science Fiction

If I were going to own one, I'd make it, not buy it.

As for why I don't, all that would accomplish is make it harder for me to do what I'm doing, and give the fuzz an excuse.

I don't think Cyberpunk = illegal. I don't thing revolution means you have to go out and do whatever is against the law.

If people want to call themselves Cyberpunks, and I don't, but if that's the goal here, then you have to decide what you stand for.

Make apps that help people organize in secret. Write software that helps you hide things on your devices. Build custom hardware that doesn't track you, and teach others how to do the same.

None of that is illegal, and you might actually accomplish something more than spending $80 on something you don't need, will never use, and has almost no purpose but to get you arrested.

This.

If you actually need to jam a band at some point (which I heavily doubt), you build the jammer yourself and not buy it from some corp that probably built in a tracker.

Jammers? Is that a thing?

For what I know, you could jam a wireless medium with any device that supports 802.11, just keep sending data nonstop, since the medium is essentialy uniplex.

It depends on what you want to jam and how. Audio can easily be "jammed" by just sending noise.

Look up some of the shortwave oddities that popped up in cold war, datalinks are not that easy to jam.

If you look at DUGA-3, a radio radar, it works using sharp audio spikes. Even if you added noise near the receiver, it would not jam the whole thing, as the pecks, so to speak, would still be distinguishable from the noise.

It's not exactly a datalink, but the problems are similar, to jam the receiver you need to analyze the data format and then think about what would corrupt the data.

Look up some shortwave oddities from the cold war era, especially "Workshop", as that one is believed to have been a jammer. You can dig up recordings for these professional jammers on YouTube.

To summarize, you'll probably never need a jammer. However, building one yourself might be worthwhile just for the extreme amount of knowledge you acquire along the way. Just take care, as it's highly illegal to do so and jammers can be located easily with the right equipment, which your local government's radio department DEFINITELY has.

you could make one of these and it would be very cheap to produce :)

Yeah, but it has a very, very, limited use case. I'd think someone looking for a jammer is trying to jam police frequencies so if they get caught, they won't have to deal with backup.

In pretty much every legal jurisdiction in the world, interfering with emergency services radio frequencies is going to result in a world of pain the likes of which the jammer-wielder has never known.

And it's not that hard to triangulate where you are either. A lot of hams have friends in the emergency services and are often used when other communications infrastructure goes down.

Yeah, which is why I made the first comment basically saying 'It's really illegal and you don't need one'. I was just pointing out that, if you wanted a Jammer, it's probably for something really, really, illegal. So, you'd better already be robbing a bank or something.

I'd like to take this moment to address all similar posts:

You are not a cyberninja. Stop it with this mall-ninja bullshit! You don't need to 'hide your power level'. You don't need a Jammer. You sound like a bunch of fucking retards!

Grow the fuck up! Cyberpunk could be a lot of fun if people would stop trying to be Mr. Robot.
