Bluesniper Creator Interviewed on Gizmodo

carbolic writes "Gizmodo interviews John Hering, one of the Bluedriving crew (of which I was one: picture) and creator of the Bluesniper rifle. Get the backstory on the recent 1.08 mile cellphone Bluesnarf attack and find out his motivation for building the rifle and trying a snarf to a cellphone you can't even see."

Motivation is always simple

It's never been done and more importantly "You can do it !!" (in a totally non-Waterboy style).

The real question to be asked is - What next ? :)

When I saw this gizmo originally on Tom's Hardware Defcon 12 review [tomshardware.com] (posted on a /. article), I thought in deed it was clever but more so intriguing b/c it was slapped on to a rifle handle. I can just imagine bingo-ladies calling 911 when they see a bunch of lads driving around pointing this thing aimlessly out the window trying to snag a signal, if their team name "Bluedriving crew".

No doubt a solid way to get in trouble is to make something look like a weapon and walk around public with it, or to point one of them laser pointers at Bill Clinton [canada.com] at a next book signing (offtopic note: notice the stiff no-ass-grab-hug in that picture he has to do now).:P
