Hack Rifle

We could spend all day talking about the morality, possible government uses, and legality of all this, but I would personally just like to take a moment to appreciate how fucking cool this thing is.

When you actually use it, WiFi cracking will be the last thing you're suspected of. Clever!

You could replace the scope with a viewfinder from an older video camera. These are essentially smallish monitors with eyepieces, giving you all the freedom you want wrt. spectrum displays overlaid over video imagery of the targeted area. Driving the thing might be an exercise in itself but it should be doable from the HDMI port on the Pi using a VGA converter or through a USB display adapter.<p>Personally I&#x27;d tone down the gun aspect of the whole thing though... lying on a roof somewhere in the US of A, pointing this thing at a window in an office building nearby is an open invitation for unwanted attention from trigger-happy defenders of the realm.

What is the use of any wifi cracking equipment these days?<p>Here in Munich (and also other German cities I&#x27;ve visited), no one carries a WEP WiFi anymore, and even the WPA1-only WiFis have nearly vanished...

Maybe I&#x27;m dumb. What does this thing do exactly? It doesn&#x27;t seem like the post actually says.

Reminds me of the &quot;BlueSniper&quot; rifle from a few years ago: <a href="http://www.tomsguide.com/us/how-to-bluesniper-pt1,review-408.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tomsguide.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;how-to-bluesniper-pt1,review-408...</a>

Remind anyone else of the smart rifle in Ken MacLeod&#x27;s The Star Fraction?<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_Fraction" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Star_Fraction</a>

Another pretty awesome device modified for WiFi hacking is Denis&#x27; motorcycle.<p>Article: <a href="http://www.itnews.com.au/News/323897,pen-tester-builds-wifi-war-bike.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.itnews.com.au&#x2F;News&#x2F;323897,pen-tester-builds-wifi-...</a><p>Kiwicon presentation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr7YAhf4IG0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Pr7YAhf4IG0</a>

Semi-related: has anyone read this paper which claims to have a WPA2 rekeying vulnerability and evaluated it? They published in a journal I don&#x27;t have access to, and don&#x27;t have a preprint online, so it&#x27;s probably not very important, but I&#x27;m still curious.<p>Achilleas Tsitroulis, Dimitris Lampoudis, Emmanuel Tsekleves. Exposing WPA2 security protocol vulnerabilities. International Journal of Information and Computer Security, 2014; 6 (1): 93 DOI: 10.1504&#x2F;IJICS.2014.059797<p>(Fucking journals are extortion; the system must be destroyed.)

I&#x27;m curious about the total weight before and after modification? I can only imagine that in the near future someone is going to want to 3d print this and mount it on some type of consumer UAV and open source the software&#x2F;hardware setup. I&#x27;m also pretty curious what, if any, measurements can be taken with this setup?

Hmm, I wonder how long before someone fits one of these (airsoft or not) onto a drone and starts causing havoc?

Needs to pull out all that extra cable wrapped around the barrel. It&#x27;s not helping the noise figure any.

For the love of everything that is holy, please do not get MITM&#x27;ed.

I don&#x27;t find this interesting or cool; it&#x27;s pretty disgusting and immoral for someone to spend their time &#x27;hacking&#x27; weapons and then publishing an article detailing their work.

Do you need any permission from government for hacking around with a rifle ?
