Pwnagotchi beacon data content

I stumbled across the pwnagotchi project, started by evilsocket, on Twitter a couple months ago. I ordered the parts I needed on Amazon a few days later, and then sat on them for a month until I had time to get it up and running. Turns out CWNE applications are time consuming! Here’s the two […]

Why consumer devices are bad for corporate wireless

While in the midst of installing hardware for a new wifi deployment in a new building last month I came across these unknown devices.   Until today I had no idea what they were, and hadn’t found time to go on site to track them down.  The MAC addresses didn’t appear in any vendor OUI […]
