Whipped up some enclosure designs for #DNSDriveby this morning! 🚗📡

I'm gonna be testing out the LiPo battery & power saving functionality later today🔋⚡

Doing some development on #DNSDriveby and testing the ESP32-C3 for bluetooth #wardriving this week! 📡

Already noticing speed improvements over the #ESP8266, and the arbitrary UART / I2C pin assignment definitely beats SoftwareSerial crashing the #WiFi stack 💻💥

When you don't have an external monitor for your #RaspberryPi, an HDMI Capture Card and @OBSProject
will do 💻✨

(I'm also shooting a tutorial for @thistlesec)

Finally soldered these #wardriving kits I designed for my #dnsdriveby project a while back, and shot some footage at a cafe today! 🚗📡

And I also found this cutie while Warwalking 8 miles through #Berkeley to test the prototypes. 🐶

We had a great turnout and I had a blast at my recent Nugget Hacking #Workshop with @crashspaceLA !⚡️😺

I always look forward to making new friends, hearing new stories, and seeing lightbulbs go off when people realize #hacking isn't so daunting when its cat shaped.

I hosted a successful Soldering & Hacking #workshop this weekend with @crashspaceLA
! 😺

Beginners got to build their own Cat-Shaped #Hacking Console, the #Nugget, and learned to use it for writing USB Attack Payloads! 💻

I'm excited to share my passion for #opensource hardware and #maker education this weekend at the Socal Linux Expo! 😺

I'll be sharing my experience scaling my OSHW project into production (the Nugget, a cat-shaped hacking console) - and some effective product design / marketing tips I picked up along the way. ✨

@montef @Spacehuhn

It's extremely constrained and slow, and Software Serial is especially a pain in the ass - I'm planning on switching to the ESP32 for my next prototype 😅 I just wanted to keep the cost down as much as possible for the initial POC so I could keep "under $10" in the title lol

⚡️Stress testing the #ESP8266 internal flash before #wardriving today:

Here you can see it encoding hundreds of URL's containing #geolocation and #wifi recon (in Base32), on the fly, which is fired off to a @ThinkstCanary
DNS Token! 🐦

Stay posted for more project updates and a video coming soon! But here's some cool pictures of the GPS doing #hacking stuff with @ThinkstCanary
in the mean time. ✨

⚡️I've been implementing #wardriving on my DNS DriveBy project and want to shout out how awesome this #ESP8266 USB dongle by @Spacehuhn
is -

It's a really handy form factor that lets me interface w/ sensors (like this GPS module) and external antennas for all sorts of recon! ⚡️

I finally got one of these ridiculous mini hotplates so I could assemble my tiny PCB earrings on a trip! 🫀✨
It's cute, functional, and extremely portable :)

(and also beats carrying a Porter Cable heat gun in your carry-on, like I originally planned)

2023-02-21

✨ I finally got the astral heart earring PCBs from PCBWay and they look beautiful!

I designed them in 3 days without testing the schematic, so hopefully it works!

Thank you to everyone who's been following & supporting my DNS Driveby project!

I just ordered the first revision PCB's in white, and will be giving out 5 assembled boards! Not sure how I'm gonna pick out the winners yet but stay posted 😺
