DC17 Badge Hack: Anti-Surveillance System

From the DEFCON 17 Badge Hacking Contest. Anti-Surveillance System by Zoz. 1st place winner in the DC17 Badge Hacking Contest. This entry comprised two phases:

1) Defeating automated facial recognition systems by generating alternating colors and patterns of light (based on research demonstrated at the 2006 ACE, Advances in Computer Entertainment) at a frequency slightly less than 60Hz.

2) Defeating PIR motion sensors ala the movie Sneakers using the DEFCON 16 Badge. This badge had a temperature sensor to let you know when the room was the proper ambient temperature (body temperature is ideal) and then a servo motor would move two feet very slowly at the proper rate to not trip the motion sensing system (according to Sneakers was 2 inches per second).
