    I wonder if a stingray could be used to force a software update in a flock camera. If so maybe it could brick all the flock cameras it can connect to.

      Yeah, you could potentially MITM them with a rogue cell tower, I suppose. I'm curious about the researchers still having the device. They could also see all the cloud endpoints that were being accessed. Are they secure?

      Linux 3.x has a lot of CVEs filed against its Bluetooth implementation.

        Does the image have bluetooth stack ? There is no reason to include bluetooth stack into the build.
