Yes, you are correct! Knowing the MAC makes the attack reasonable - let's say 5 hours compute for 3080Ti. Not knowing the MAC makes it exponentially harder. You can still "guess" it, but the search-space is vast and that woul

You don't need MAC address - you just need the iPhone to broadcast specific BLE advertising packet/payload. Using Core Bluetooth API it is trivial, but you need to either: a) create an app that does it and user has to download it

Founder of Estimote, Inc. (YC S13) here — we do beacons. In Project Aria video, they claim to have installed beacons at an airport to enable indoor location, only to dismiss it as something that "doesn't scale." Instead, they

Hi HN, this is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc (YC S13). Happy to share we have just launched a new device that has BLE, LTE-M/NB-IoT and GPS integrated. It can compute its indoor and outdoor position and last years on the battery. It

Hi HN, This is Jakub, founder of Estimote. We just launched a new Asset Tracking API. Bluetooth beacons attached to walls can now scan and locate smaller beacons attached to objects and pass that location data to the Cloud via low-power mes

Please note our Location Beacons with UWB have two radios: - Bluetooth (BLE) that is low-power and can give few meters positioning accuracy - Ultra-wide-band (UWB) that's not low-power, but can give inch-precision. This Robot Operating

John, our beacons are commercially deployed in many verticals. SDK together with Cloud does allow some provisioning and security mechanisms. Since beacons broadcast public Bluetooth signals we don't want any app/device to know the

Hi Hacker News, this is Jakub, co-founder of Estimote, Inc. Earlier this year we have added additional UWB radio to our BLE beacons. We did that mostly for floor-plan auto-mapping (read more here: http://blog.estimote.com/po

Hi HN, this is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc. (YC S13). We just released a new beacon firmware supporting low-power routed mesh over BLE. It's slightly different implementation that the one Bluetooth SIG has just standarized, but it

The time-of-flight is actually possible because of UWB radio. It's an additional chip to Bluetooth that can estimate distance between nodes with inch precision. Then using Bluetooth mesh these data are passed to other beacons and to ph

Beacons use only BLE to talk to each other; there no Zigbee or other connectivity technology. That way both phones or other beacons/BLE devices can inject data to mesh.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is supported these days by all modern phones and we haven't seen mesh implementations on top of BLE that would be low-power. There are other non-low-power BLE implementations for example for lightbulbs, but i

Of course, beacons do not keep the persistent connection since that would drain too much battery. But they are not synchronized, so you can pass data to one edge of the mesh and it will be passed with some latency to another edge - like on

Wow, this is great - nuclear-energy powered beacons would be a hit. Hope they will commercialize it soon : )
