Audio Fuzzing trick
I was thinking about those so-called ghost scanners and came up with an idea for sending secret messages.
The way the scanners work is they monitor a radio frequency that is saturated with white noise, and then
feed the audio static to a voice recognizer. Sometimes it picks up "words" in the static, and displays a
text transcription of it. Real live ghosts... spooky!
So now it makes me wonder if anyone hacking their Siri/Alexa/Whomever has trimmed samples of these ghost
words to send messages using static that was fuzzed from the airwaves...
Sure, it isn't practical in so many ways, but it would still be a fun hack. At least as fun as the video
graphic changes that make OpenCV confuse turtles for weapons.
