Can #Estimote Be Hacked? Yes It Can - For Now


Take the #CES #Scavenger_Hunt ? an #iBeacon event that?s getting a lot of attention because of its association with the major consumer electronics show of the year. Here?s a use case that doesn?t need a lot of security ? it?s meant to be fun, there?s not much at stake, and giving some backdoors to industrious coders might not be such a bad thing.

But the same authors also ?hacked? the CES app ? completing the Scavenger Hunt without even getting on a plane to Vegas. Hardly a world-breaking security issue and actually of a completely different nature from the #Estimote work.

#Estimote Beacons : real world #context for your apps


Simply stick Estimote's tiny sensors in any physical place, such as a retail store and app users will benefit from personalized micro-location based notifications and actions when they walk into your venue or interact with your products.

Reverse Engineering the Estimote


#Estimote are advertising a range of around 230 feet (about 70 meters) for their beacons. However testing puts the range much less, at somewhere around 130 feet (about 40 meters) out of the box, with highly variable precision. As far as I can tell you also shouldn?t rely on the proximity measurements at all as, at least from my own testing, these proximity measurements vary rapidly?presumably due to radio interference.

They?re also predicting a battery life of up to 2 years. However our beacon arrived at 55 percent charge, and it is now at 33 percent after just a month, so that seems somewhat of an optimistic prediction?and makes that sealed enclosure more of a liability than an asset.

Aisle411 and #Estimote #Beacons are changing your behavior at Walgreens and The Home Depot


A look back, six months ago, that shows some technology innovation in the retail space. With some of the bugs worked out, the time is now to make it practical and user friendly.
