Princeton IoT Inspector Monitors Alexa While She Monitors You — Alexa, who is listening in? Good luck with getting an answer. Actually, she’ll refrence a 1979 song by the Northern Irish group The Undertones.
If you wish to learn who is monitoring your life while you think Seattle’s Mata Hari is sound asleep, check out the Princeton IoT Inspector from Princeton University.
IoT means “internet of things.”
Princeton describes the Inspector as an open-source desktop tool with a one-click install process that lets you automatically discovers IoT devices and analyzes their network traffic and helps you identify security and privacy issues with graphs and tables
The Inspector requires minimal technical skills and no special hardware as Princeton notes.
Hat tip to DuckDuckGo, Chester County’s very own Google slayer.
Thanks for posting the song. I never heard it before.
1979 was a good year for music.
Another good song, forgotten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1KF7R-0nwg
Yes, that is a good one!
