⚠️ Collected list of “hacker” gadgets for awareness and education only

Twitter users rounded up common devices that can be (and are) repurposed for interception, network attacks, access testing, and hardware cloning, useful to know about for defenders, but dangerous in the wrong hands.

🔸 HackRF One — a software-defined radio for sniffing and experimenting with radio signals.
🔸 LAN Turtle — a covert access gadget used to maintain remote connections on a compromised network.
🔸 USB Rubber Ducky — a USB device that emulates a keyboard to run automated input sequences.
🔸 Flipper Zero — a popular multi-protocol gadget for interacting with RF, NFC, and IR devices; hobbyist tool that can be misused.
🔸 WiFi Pineapple — a specialized appliance used for Wi-Fi network testing and auditing.
🔸 Deauther Watch — a wearable tool that can force devices off Wi-Fi networks (used for testing or abuse).
🔸 Alfa (high-gain adapters) — powerful Wi-Fi/network adapters that extend range for testing wireless links.
🔸 GSM Jammer — a radio jammer that disrupts cellular signals (illegal in many jurisdictions).
🔸 MagSpoof — hardware that can emulate magnetic stripe data for research into payment security.
🔸 Raspberry Pi — tiny programmable computers often repurposed as inexpensive testing rigs or to script network activity.
🔸 Proxmark3 — a professional RFID/NFC research tool used to read, analyze, and test access-card systems.

This list is for awareness, defensive research, and legal security testing only. Possession or use of some of these devices can be illegal depending on jurisdiction and intent. If you’re curious about security, learn through legal channels: certified courses, CTFs, sanctioned labs, and bug-bounty programs. Don’t handle or use these tools for unauthorized activity.
