We were driving to DefCon. We were somewhere around Barstow when the network went bad. Someone was war-driving us, right there in traffic, one of the other cars next to us, was sniffing and spoofing the cell net and advertising about a dozen honeypot wifi nets. I saw about a hundred attacks going out, looking for the last couple years worth of exploits in iOS, Android, and Windows. Of course I know this because I was pretty live-wired myself. I was working up a suite of attacks and countermeasures for the capture-the-flag competition when I noticed all this. “Fuck”, I said. “all these fucking packets.”
“What?”, j33 said from the driver’s seat.
I told him. “Some fucker’s trying to hack every phone on this highway.”
j33 pulled over. “Your turn to drive.” he said. “I gotta pwn this guy.”
