Also recommended here. Check these out. ESP32 (wifi+bluetooth), lora radios, GPS, oled screen, and battery holder - ~$25US: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32967228739.html I have four of them, all work exactly as described. And what tda is talking about for ~$8US: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32824839148.html Or no screen, but with an SD card slot for %5US: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32846099054.html I bet that…

The LILYGO® TTGO T-SIM7000G also makes a great autonomous wigle throwie. tindie.com/products/ttgo/lilygor-ttgo-t-sim7000g/

Ooooh. A nano SIM and an LTE antenna. But no quickly googlable info about what cellular capabilities it has. I'd _assume_ it does 3G/4G/LTE? Have you ever used that? (We don't have any GSM/2G left where I am, so a lot of the inexpensive cellular project boards dpn't work here any more...)

I ordered one several weeks ago from their tindie store, I'm still waiting on delivery. Spec sheet says global-band LTE. I've read that the ~free (they might be $10?) google fi sims cards 'just work'.

Apologies for the implied existing success.

It is based on SIM7000G, which is LTE CAT-M1(eMTC) and NB-IoT. So "4G".

Oooh, thanks!

(Goes back to still open tab to order a couple... Don't now what for yet, but you know shrugs:. Hmmm, I've got Meshtastic running on some other TTGO boards, I wonder how much work it'd be to bridge two LoRa mesh networks together over SMS or the internet?)

It seems like to protect against this, I should have a long password and not use words (e.g. mix numbers for letters). Is that correct?

10-12 "random" characters + WPA2 and you're safe.

And have no children to ask you what the wifi password is.

If you enjoy this kind of RF hacking tool, you may enjoy the Flipper Zero even more:

https://flipperzero.one/

It has 125kHz RFID (for cloning door access badges) and a 433 MHz transceiver (for cloning garage door / barrier remotes). This is much more desireable for me than Wifi.

Wish I could get the same capabilities in a phone case format so I could clone all my different badges into something I carry with me all the time.

I would love if the software stack were extended for on the go usage:

Use HashMonster to capture packets. Send those packets to my mobile phone via bluetooth. Phone sends it to my PC running at home via mobile data plan. PC cracks the password, returns back to phone.

That way I can crack passwords to wifis while waiting somewhere if I dont want to eat my data limit

Be careful what data you collect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joffe_v._Google,_Inc .

That case never went the full distance. Google's motion to dismiss was ultimately denied, but the case settled for 13 million; it never went to trial and class members did not recover any damages under the Wiretap Act. As such, the only thing we can conclude is that in the 9th Circuit, WiFi is covered by the Wiretap Act. We cannot conclude from this decision that sniffing WiFi on its own has resulted in liability for damages. That issue was left unresolved.
