It’s Here: The Internet Of Wrongs
One of the presentations at the upcoming Kiwicon in Wellington is going to be about a device built out of a Raspberry π Zero using “nothing more than off-the-shelf components and "questionable life choices"”. It looks for attempts to connect to Instagram and other “social-media vanity” sites (including rugby), and blocks them by returning bogus responses.

Nice. I'm going to be volunteering at Kiwicon. Looking forward to this talk. Still haven't got my hands on a zero, maybe next year. Anyone else going to kiwicon? Cheers, William. On Thu, Dec 3, 2015 at 1:37 PM, Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz> wrote:
