Gadgets & hardware

The kit we carry, why each piece earns its place in the bag, and where to get it. 13 entries, grouped by what they are for.

Legal note: receiving is generally fine, transmitting usually is not. Sub-GHz replay, WiFi deauthentication and RF jamming are regulated in Denmark and most other places. Own the hardware, learn on your own gear, and get authorisation before you point it at anything else.
