Wait could I theoretically go to a UK police station or somewhere with a lot of police and pick up their MAC addresses.
Then if I were to be involved in some direct action I could get alerts that the police are nearby?
If so what device do I need to do this mobile? Like a laptop? Or one of those little orange hacker tools which the name is escapes me right now.
Flipper
That’s it. Gone I’m getting old. Flipper Zero init.
Do you have one? I’ve been interested for a minute but not sure if I can loads of fun with it.
I’d be interested in using it to affect digital billboards or taking direct action against companies I don’t think have a moral backbone.
While flipper is very versatile, it's pretty weak compared to dedicated devices with proper antennas for the signal type you're looking at.
Thanks that helps me make the choice.
I do already have some decent antennas from the last time I was playing around with Kali and Airpdump ng so I’ll get into some studying.
Thanks.
I looked into maybe getting a flipper a while back and decided the hackRF would be the way to go. I never got either, but from what I was reading, hackRF let's you do all the things people who own flippers wish the flipper did.
Yeah I think GhostStrats on YouTube did an episode on his toolkit and the HackRF was recommended.
What I really want to do is fuck with digital billboards. I have a hatred for adverts and more so in the real world lol.
Nah, it'd mostly just end up being another useless gadget to me. It's cool, but I don't have room for gadgets rn.
