ZuckOff detects nearby Ray-Ban Meta and Snap camera glasses via Bluetooth
jedisct1 · x · 2026-09-21
ZuckOff, promoted by security researcher Frank Denis (jedisct1), detects when camera glasses like Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta or Snap Spectacles are nearby. It works because these devices keep advertising over Bluetooth; the app matches manufacturer signatures (e.g. 0x0D53 for Luxottica's Ray-Ban/Oakley Meta).
Features include evidence shown for every flag, a log of all Bluetooth devices heard, muting your own pair, background alerts with a Lock Screen Live Activity on iPhone, Shortcuts/Siri triggers, and CSV export. Nothing leaves the phone and no account is needed. Limitations are stated openly: some models stay silent, a detection doesn't prove recording, and silence doesn't prove safety.
