Setting off security systems with a cell phone?

You know those security systems at the library? The things right by the door, and if you walk through them without checking out your book they will go off?

Well, I set one off with my t610's bluetooth. There was noone else but me, and i was actively scanning for bt devices as i walked through the security thing. It went off, but when i walked through again without scanning it didn't go off.

Anyone know what's up with this?

I highly doubt that was it. I believe the security at the library works off of magnetism, not RW's. I think Masseur's gonna ask you to keep to the bluejacking thread.

Whats the point of this thread,all the jackers go to the naughty thread anyway

YOu KNOW WHAT?!?!?!?!!?!?

The phone will emit radio waves and disrupt magnetic fields... That's why it scews with your tv and any speakers, etc. etc. If the security thingy works off radio waves and magnetic fields then maybe...

btw, this is a totally different topic than bluejacking, it's setting off alarms with a cell phone.

So why did'nt you just do this thread in the first place
And its called 'Bluejacking the Library'

Posted by kimcheeboi
well i thought it was the bluetooth, but now i realized that its probably the em radiation from the phone.

by the way, is it possible to cahnge the name of the thread?

Edit your first post.

Posted by kimcheeboi
there we go!



ok UPDATE:

FOr those of you that don't know, there's motion sensors in elevator doors so noone gets squashed. I got one of those to go wacko with my phone, too! the hospital i'm volunteering at has really poor reception inside the elevator so it must be when my phone tries to contact the tower it emits all diff kinds of em.

I was visiting a friend when the security guards showed up and said someone in the apt triggered the alarm. To cut the story short, we later figured that the alarm was triggered during my bt device searches. So u r right, the bt can set off alarms.

Sweet! I'm gonna have so much fun with this. :-D

Hmmm... not sure I would recommend it for fun. Actually scares me about the possible hazzard it could cause if some life saving device was messed up by bt. Just my opinion.

You volunteer at a hospital (very commendable) but you didn't stop to worry about your phone not only messing up elevator doors but possibly all kinds of other machinery such as heart monitoring??


Do you even know that many hospitals world wide prohibit having cell phones even switched on when inside?

Posted by kimcheeboi
my cell phone is off inside the hospital. There's the inpatient tower, and then the outpatient tower, and you have go through walkway and take an elevator to get to the outpatient (which is where i volunteer). Vlamm, don't worry-I'm not about to kill a patient.


By the way, does anyone have a scientific explanation for this stuff?

i'll have a look on google

Posted by kimcheeboi
Lol, i've been looking too, can't find much stuff that makes sense.

Google came up with the goods again!

I always wandered how these worked - looks like tommorrow might be spent attempting to set them off...

I'm steeling my own phone - honest!

Posted by kimcheeboi
Lol make sure you're not stealing anything else! Good luck.

make sure u are not stealing anything!?!?!
thats the whole point,u stand around the shop all day,setting the alarm of, until the manager of the store comes to the conclusion that it is broken...and then walk out with the best shit u can get ur hands on...
LOL
my personal opinion is that this has no chance of working, the other times would have been a coincidence...
(auto-memory..one day (a few months ago) i was playing "hacker" with an IRC script on a 56 kbps modem, and trigged a crappy flood, and just at the same time, the was a major netsplit)
moral of the story...these things arent so easy

have fun trying though

Posted by kimcheeboi
Lol it's worked again! I just set off another alarm!

Posted by rdnymllnsktr
What do you do? I want to try this at my college library, but don't know the steps!!!

Posted by kimcheeboi
I just scan as i walk through the detector things. What's weird is that it only works if i have the phone on one side, maybe bluetooth signal needs to be a certain strength. Also try scanning for gsm networks .

Posted by kimcheeboi
I just almost trapped myself in an elevator, lol. My t610 had bad reception so i turned bluetooth scan on and had both gsm scan and bt scan running and started waving my phone at the doors. The doors went wacko, then the elevator wouldn't go up! Luckily the doors still worked so i took the stairs.
