Hacking a Cat — Going Beyond Traditional Attack Vectors
summary
Claims a practical threat model and demos rather than philosophy: shows how proximity relay attacks start cars using $20 radios + Raspberry Pi for under $200, proposes a stealth data-collector using a cat with NFC readers, catalogs real-world implantables like grain-of-rice implants and Wi-Fi enabled hearts, links insulin pumps to cloud/Tesla telemetry, and argues pacemakers could receive malware or be ransom-locked. Focus is on attack steps, tools, feasibility and mitigation gaps.
