I have an old android s3 mini and not using it for anything feels like a waste

    Lots of projects… you can use it as a gps module, security camera, root it and use it and run kali nethunter on it, etc.

    I use my nexus 5X I bought off of ebay for nethunter and my other androids I use as a spare smartphone I use for a smaller kit.

    I have an old Moto X4 that has done duty as an octoprint server, and now works as the screen for my camera drone.

        Strangers can connect to your piratebox and download whatever files (not neccessarily pirated) you put on it. Movies, music, books etc.
        A piratebox has no internet connection and in order to browse it one has to connect directly to it’s network. Think about your favourite bar or your toilet at work having a network with no internet access, that let’s you browse fresh warez every time you visit.
        I think you can even grant upload rights and make it a public dead mailbox for warez.

          Piratebox is discontinued so it won’t get any new updates, but there are a bunch of other projects you can do like setup a file server and share it with an open ap. Just make sure to secure the pi itself and whatnot.

            What a shame
            To be honest, i read about it a long time ago, but haven’t used the software, just liked the concept because it’s so seductively simple: random anonymous device, no internet connection, no isp, no trouble. Perfect deniability.
            Only lower level: switching drives 😂

              Well… I think it is discontinued but there are mix things. Maintaining projects is just difficult. It is a nice software.
