I made a YouTube video all about palantir if you haven’t seen it yet. They’re using facial recognition, gait analysis, and phone metadata to lock in your identity even when you don’t speak a word. But guess what? You can h4ck every single layer of it! 💄 Adversarial Makeup That Breaks Facial Recognition: Facial recognition systems rely on symmetry, contrast, and the identification of specific facial “landmarks” (eyes, nose bridge, mouth corners, jawline). Disrupting these throws off the AI. Here’s what works: 🔹 CV Dazzle Techniques • Use black + white high-contrast geometric patterns • Draw bold diagonal lines across your face…especially across the nose bridge or mouth area • Block key landmarks with shapes, splashes, or color patches • Asymmetry is key…don’t do both sides the same • Cover the area beneath your eyes, which is crucial for many models Think abstract war paint, *not* glam. You want the camera to see you as a broken image. 🔹 Infrared Confusion (for night cams) • Use thermal-blocking materials around the eyes and forehead (metallic stickers, mesh, or mirrored tape) • IR LED hats or glasses can flood your face with light invisible to humans but blinding to IR cameras 🔹 Hyperface Prints • If you wear fabric (scarves, hoods), choose ones with dozens of fake faces printed on them • This overwhelms algorithms with false positives 🦶 Gait Analysis Disruption: Your walk is a biometric signature that can be used even if your face is covered. To confuse it: • Put a rock or almond in one shoe • Wear a brace or add weight on one side so you walk funny • Walk with a purposeful limp or swin • Change your step rhythm every few minutes 🧠 TL;DR: the surveillance state wasn’t built for people who fight back with creativity, confusion, and chaos. #FacialRecognition #ProtestSafety #MaskBan #Palantir #CVdazzle #OpSec #AdversarialMakeup #SurveillanceState #CyberResistance #DigitalAnonymity #Meshtastic".
