I know replicating a complex, multi-tool like the Flipper Zero at home isn't feasible. Instead, I’m interested in any single-purpose, DIY gadgets built to fulfill a specific cybersecurity purpose.

​For those who build their own pentesting or hardware hacking tools instead of buying commercial gear:

​What boards did you use? (ESP32, Raspberry Pi , Arduino, etc.)

​What specific tools/hardware did you need?

​What open-source firmware or software libraries did you flash onto it?

What’s something you discovered in cybersecurity or tech that completely blew your mind the first time you learned about it? Could be a hacking technique, a real story, or just a weird fact that made you go “what the hell”.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people around me are still using Windows 7 and 8. I know that Microsoft stops updating those systems after a while, but how easy is it really to hack them? Is being connected to the same network really enough?

I’ve noticed that a lot of people around me are still using Windows 7 , 8, and 10. I know that Microsoft stops updating those systems after a while, but how easy is it really to hack them? Is being connected to the same network enough? Do you know any ways or methods to gain root access to a PC?

Someone is sending me messages on WhatsApp from a fake number and knows way too much information about me. I tried searching IRL, but that didn't work. Reverse number lookup didn't work either. I'm thinking about sending them a link that'll help me retrieve their name or something like that. Any suggestions on how I'll be able to do it? I'm already familiar with Kali; I just need an idea to start with.
