Hacking Nike+iPod with USB

  February 28th, 2007



I find it a bit disturbing and very weird that someone put so much time into tracking runners nearby via Nike+iPod gear. I don’t see why you would care where people are running near you so long as the running people aren’t serial killers or zombies. The kit uses a serial-to-USB adapter that listens to all foot pods in range and displays the raw data including the foot pod IDs. Stalkers won’t track the runners for long though as the range is only 60 feet. If you are the creepy voyeur type this thing is right up your alley. Pricing is $22.46 per unit but they have to be bought in lots of 12. I’m betting all the Nike+iPod runners will find you a bit out of place standing on the trail with your laptop in hand.
