    Build your own 'AirTags' 🏷 today! Framework for tracking personal Bluetooth devices via Apple's massive Find My network.

    • I think it is important to mention that clever people already managed to reverse engineer the Apple "Find My" network/protocol to "make tour own airtag" : https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack

    This notably allow one to easily create a tracker that is silent and potentially smaller than an AirTag. Also easier to hid in a daily object since all you need is basically a nRF51822 and a battery.

    People who don't own an iPhone, or in general a recent iPhone might be tracked without their knowledge (and, obviously, their consent).

    The potential of misuse of this kind of tool is so great, we should really regulate against those.
