Taking a look at a covert CIA virtual fencing solution [video]

It should be mentioned that this work was mostly speculation, like the speaker said.<p>Most of the attacks shown are not &#x27;advanced&#x27; by any means. Like the speaker explained; <i>&#x27;anyone can buy a GPS jammer for a few bucks online&#x27;</i>. The research they did indeed confirmed GPS is the weakspot. However, such geofence systems are a step-up from any equipment lacking this ability. Its not so much about rendering these systems completely unusable outside of their intended purpose, but more about slowing down their use. The later will have a much better chance of accomplishing this goal.<p>Assuming the claims made in this research are true, then its more likely the CIA wants to limit the use of <i>US</i> supplied weapons systems, not stop a war. And the CIA has quite the history there.<p>Also, the situations in which such weapons systems are deployed do not exactly resemble the lab-like circumstances (like faraday cage, EE-tooling et.) necessary for these attacks.

I&#x27;m glad the CIA is doing something; I guess virtual fencing hasn&#x27;t really been a thing since the Summer Olympics tie-in games of the 80s. I&#x27;m surprised, really, given the existence of &quot;Bus Simulator&quot;, &quot;Farming Simulator&quot; and so on, I would have thought there would be lots of ultra realistic virtual fencing. But a minute or two Googling didn&#x27;t turn anything up - mostly people discuss fencing-like activities in random games with swordplay.

Geeze - I&#x27;m all for freely discussing engineering but wow I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;ve ever seen a more directly dangerous piece of work.<p>For those who haven&#x27;t read what this is about: The system is designed to stop weapon systems working outside specific geographic areas. This is so (for example) the US can arm a specific group in a conflict and if (when?) those arms fall into the wrong hands they are useless outside the area of that conflict.<p>This work discusses weaknesses in the lockdown system. It&#x27;s pretty advanced work, so it isn&#x27;t like a script-kiddie is going to work this out themselves.
