Found this in the cyberpunk subreddit in a post from 2 years ago with people complaining that people were over-reacting and it's 'just a camera on legs that will never be weaponized'. Cue San Francisco want to weaponize one a year later, also apparently Dallas used their bomb disabling robot to kill a sniper in 2016.

Here's some totally random paperwork on Spot's network setup! https://support.bostondynamics.com/s/article/Spot-network-setup

It should be noted that some versions of spot have both 5ghz and 2.4ghz wifi but should still be vulnerable to deauth attacks. Upon losing network connection for more than a few seconds the robot should sit down and turn off the motors. However, they do make an LTE capable version. :this-is-fine:

    Oh yeah, I didn’t mean that people would improvise an exploit on the spot. I’ve been in groups that have tracked the specific models of equipment used by local cops and would track public exploits for them. Yielded some neat results a few times, particularly one with an IMSI catcher.

      Yea that makes more sense, thanks for clarifying.
