Put a pebble in your shoe.


Brilliant. Hundreds of millions of dollars of investment squashed by a pebble.


That 'hack' was made famous by Cory Doctorow's Little Brother in 2008. It's a good book for summer reading BTW.

I'd like to see if that actually works as an adversarial technique to gait tracking, I would assume it wouldn't - given that a gait has a lot of variables, a pebble in the shoe should just tweak one or two, and only reduce significance, but not throw a wrench in the identification entirely.
