QR Hacks

    I see these QR codes all over the place. Restaurants use them for menus(you scan and the visit the link) and I was thinking that someone could just make their own that looks just like the restaurants, place it over the restaurants and send people to their own website and then afterwards send them to the site with the menu.

    What could be done with this?

    that's actually a good idea

    generate a QR code that links you your website, say it's a 'pre-authorisation' stage that takes their payment details, then redirects them back to the restaurant's ordering website.

    print your QR code onto a sticker, slap it onto the existing code on the table, done. just make sure you don't get caught on camera doing it

    Even better...

    Have the link open that picture of the guy spreading his ass open, and then after 5 seconds redirect them to the menu.

    If you put out a lot of these, you could just display a short ad before redirecting the the menu.
