[GTALUG] Question

[Mauro Souza]

A Faraday cage is enough. Put the machine inside a grounded metallic box,
and you are good to go.

Opening the machine and removing the wireless modules, or cutting traces
giving power to the wireless module would be more permanent, but a Faraday
cage is faster to deploy and "undeploy."

Greetings

Many companies are now developing equipment for home use that is for the
latest
buzz in the world - - IoT (more morons them!).

There is, as a result, the need to be searching for a cell phone signal (a
wireless section that can only be put in airplane mode not an off). This
machine behavior has me very concerned about my personal information
security.
Any suggestions on how to 'shut off' wireless services on a machine that
doesn't really have too much in the way for access?

(Only access that I can see is through the memory card but that only has
data loaded no system information - - - no other visible ports. Any ideas
for hacks to disable this wireless module will be gratefully accepted. (I
do need the machine to work though so no - - - sledge hammers aren't an
option!!! Have thought of using a farady cage but am not sure if that's
going to be sufficient.)

Regards

Dee
