This was not spoofed at the ADS-B layer. It was just spoofed to adsb exchange. (While typically a feeder contributes to multiple sites, this one didn't.) eg:
Yea, this is more like vandalizing Wikipedia than spoofing or interfering with safety-critical systems. It's juvenile, but probably not crashing any planes. It'll get reverted, and then presumably the adsb exchange website will tighten up their security.
There is no security within ADS-B. All you need is directional antenna pointing at receiver (if you just want to fuck with website, not cause mass panic in the nearest airport tower), there is no encryption or other form of authentication in the messages.
The security in question is the ADS-B exchange's web site's security, not the security of the ADS-B system. It's unlikely this vandal even has an antenna.
Juvenile times call for juvenile measures. In case you haven’t noticed, the US is being run by a bunch of arrested development high school bullies. Juvenile is one of the only languages they understand.
And is Vance or Trump watching Flightradar24 in their free time? And if they did, would they even get mad at this and not find it funny? And if they did get mad at it, would they do anything at all? If they did something, would it be anything desirable or just trying to retaliate at whoever drew this?
I had also posted this story earlier, then deleted it once I learned that. However, I did find this interesting doc about real ADS-B spoofing, which does not appear to be very easy:
Man, I wrote that comment at the end of a 14hr work day. The crazy thing is that I had seen that SDR slide when I first looked at this. Hours later, when I posted the comment, I reviewed it again and completely hallucinated the SDR slide away.
I need to check all the work I did towards the end of yesterday. Valuable lesson. Thanks.
Gemini CLI is open source. Don't need to intercept at the network when you can just add inspectGeminiApiRequest() in the source. (I suggest it because I've been maintaining a personal branch with exactly that :)
There's now a CLI that'll read and update your (Mac) clipboard with the result. For this italic use case you'll have to edit the source but it won't be that bad.
Thanks a lot! It started as a small experiment with parts of CDP to solve some real-life debugging problems I kept running into, and it ended up opening workflows I hadn’t expected.
Amen! The terms "accordion" and "carousel" were really codified by the pattern library. Establishing a common vernacular definitely accelerates things.
I worry that OpenRouter's Apps leaderboard incentivizes tools (e.g. Cline/Kilo) to burn through tokens to climb the ranks, meanwhile penalizing being context-efficient.

Relevant discussion on r/adsb: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADSB/comments/1qp3q9n/interesting/ where they note it's also absent on FR24, airplanes.live, and theairtraffic.com.
The adsb-x feeder map: https://map.adsbexchange.com/mlat-map/ They probably won't have a hard time identifying who contributed that data.
