The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.

Requires Linux. But a raspberry pi should do the trick.

Now we just need to combine them both so it only targets Meta devices.

how does this work? I thought bluetooth is practically invulnerable to DDOS because of its endless frequency hopping

Haven’t tested it against meta glasses. Essentially it requires the MAC address of the device and pings the shit out of it. May or may not work against the glasses.
