How to Make a Faraday Cage
Who needs a faraday cage? In today’s technology-driven world, we are all surrounded by true wireless devices promising everything from convenience to improved quality of life. From smartphones to garage door openers, TV controllers to baby monitors, keyless entry systems to WIFI enabled thermostats…the list is endless. Unfortunately, this giant leap in technology has also opened the door for new opportunities to be exploited. Specifically, wireless signals, devices, and networks across the market have been shown to be prone to interference. Unprotected signals can be susceptible to attack like car hijacking, jamming, and even service disruption due to malicious gain of control. Without protection, smart devices, like your phone or cell phones, radios and home automation systems can be hacked and can be used against you or your family. In short, wireless signals are continuously at risk. Thus, began the necessity for the Faraday Cage.
