Internet of Things Militia: Paramilitary Training for your IoT devices
summary
A practical catalogue of specific misuses: repurpose a refrigerator as an always-on processing node to aggregate sensors and jam or override neighbor Wi‑Fi, use smart bulbs as a low‑bandwidth flicker covert channel to signal or annoy targeted occupants, combine thermostat and TV playback to fake occupancy and time‑shift alarms, trigger garden sprinklers from camera/dog‑poop detection to deter pets and deer, and weaponize vacuums into noisy Roomba “doombas” — mostly prototypes and thought experiments, some demoed as hacks rather than polished products.
