Geolocation leak using plane doppler curves [video]

I had no idea that Doppler waves would show up like this, but it makes sense they do. I would assume the three letter agencies have been using this forever, but it feels like this unlocks a lot of crazy use cases for both commercial and private sectors?

Also.. I think this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen on YouTube.

I agree, this is amazing!

It is spy movie material. I guess it has huge privacy implications too.

Oh this needs more upvotes. I came to submit this story, turns out it was already here. Coolest thing I've see n in a while.

Coolest and scariest thing I've seen in a while

I'm surprised that flight data is that accurate. How long before flight data gets locked down?

About never, because ADS-B broadcasting is required and it's trivial to receive with a cheap (<$30) SDR.

This is extremely cool to the point where I feel dangerous even knowing that the option to do this exists.

Really great walk through, and lots of big data crunching to pull it off.
