“With only 6 wireless nodes we can make an algorithm to determine a napping person is in or near the foot of their bed” is so funny.

if i ~~read~~ skimmed through correctly, nodes in that case are basically wireless devices (so iot perverts + phones/watches/audio/tv).

so the opsec here doesn't really change much. prefer wired whenever possible and don't fill your house with iot. how useful is this method if the person they want to track only has two broadcasters (their router and their phone)?

Whether they're in their house or not is all that's really needed for any monitoring purposes I can think of.

Of course, if you've compromised their 6 damn wireless nodes, you also know that they're home when their phone switches to wifi.

there's way easier ways to know if someone is home. stakeouts, fake pizza delivery, tracking your car

The real horror is how far away that bed is from the wall.
