The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media’s coverage of how people are using Meta’s Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

I know next to nothing about the glasses, but would they be vulnerable to anything the Flipper Zero is capable of doing?
What do you mean “vulnerable”? Are you trying to blow them up?
Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.

Requires Linux. But a raspberry pi should do the trick.
Now we just need to combine them both so it only targets Meta devices.
How hard can you throw it?
I mean, the Flipper Zero is just a computer with a few radios built-in.
I think the only one they share with most smart glasses is Bluetooth which might potentially have some vulnerabilities which could be exploited, but there are also expansion cards for the Flipper Zero that add everything from wifi and ethernet ports to high-powered IR blasters, so the real question is how vulnerable smart glasses are.
And the truth is, they’re vulnerable by default because they rely on corpo servers to operate like any other “smart” device. Any flaw in the security of the glasses themselves barely holds a candle to the fact that they forward everything to Facebook or some other big tech brand name with a financial interest in monetizing your data.
