Eye-Popping 'Pokémon GO' Hack Surfaces; Cheating Just Got Serious
C. de LacyWithout a doubt, "Pokémon GO" already consumed the world, but in a awfully good way. "Pokémon GO" talk is everywhere, namely the releases, tips, celebrity involvement, and most importantly, hacks and cheats. This one seems to be the most impressive yet.
Crafty trainers already came up with "life-hacks" and workarounds playing "Pokémon GO" without having to make a single step outside their home's premises. Such an irony for a game meant to be enjoyed while walking.
Some used drones, remote-controlled cars, automated vacuum cleaning systems and even as bat-dung crazy as ceiling fans. All these, however, pales to compare with YouTube channel jdsika solution.
The hack involves a complicated hardware-based setup. With this method, the phone simply needs to be placed on a radio-frequency-shielded box. The hacker then uses a signal generator to create fake GPS signals that the phone identifies as its "location."
This prevents the GPS data being fed to the users phone and ensures that the only information, the phone receives, is the one generated by the user.
This is controlled through a modded Google Earth app and a joystick to realistically change the signal of the phone. This simulates the players "movement."
As the video shows, the setup is somewhat complex in nature. More often than not, players or trainers who are looking to do the same wouldn't have the same materials being used in the video. It isn't a simple feat to execute.
If users would still want to try something similar to this feat while playing "Pokémon GO," we have very alternative here.
However, it should be considered that there is the risk of getting banned. It is already a challenge on its own to produce believable movements using a joystick.
Still, accelorometer usage may be used against players who'll resort to this hack once caught. The same applies with the GPS spoofing app. We highly suggest that users enjoy playing "Pokémon GO" the way it is meant to be enjoyed, otherwise extremely needed for whatever reasons.
