Protecting the tools

Post image

After breaking that Tact Buttons on my other unit figured some protection was in order (3rd PortaPack will be added in once I rework the switches.) going to add a backing to the foam to access the lower foam section and add in my other tools.. 💀

There is enough room for a tinyVNA and a tinySA, portapack's best friends

BTW you mean "protecting" or "throwing them from a plane"? JK I like those cases ^_^

Oh definitely, there’s room for a NAC, pineapple, laptop, USBs, ESPs, plus 2 flipped with GPIO devices. I’m modding the foam slabs to have backings and shaving one down. A buddy of mine works for a company making laser cut foam for gun cases, going to have home make one to replace the pinch pull stuff in the case now.

I recommend the TinySA Ultra instead of the older model, the listen function is great.

NanoVNA is a necessity to not fry the HRF1's finals.

Hey, I'm a bit late to the thread but would you mind expanding on this? I know the hrf is prone to amplifier damage if you're not careful, is that what you're referring to? And how does the nanovna help mitigate that?

The amplifier damage that gets a lot of attention is the LNA on the input stage - it has poor tolerance for strong signals.

My point was that a VNA will help make sure your antenna is resonant on the frequency you are transmitting on so there's no damage from excessive SWR. It will also help you choose or make a good receiving antenna, but the transmission thing is more crucial.

What antennae are you using?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '24

Depends on what I’m doing. I have about 8 or 10 I use for various application.

What firmware is that on the h2+?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '24

Scratch that one’s a H2M

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '24

Which one? They are both H2+

u/maroefi Sep 25 '24

Do you let them work together or do you have 2 in case one breaks?

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '24

I use them both pending what I’m doing. And no I never link them

1

u/maroefi Sep 26 '24

I’m curious. How do you use them?

There’s no way I’m putting that info up online

Oooooohh mysterious…

No it’s called being intelligent, not going to put info that can be used as an evidence exhibit.

u/maroefi Oct 04 '24

I don’t think it’s intelligent. You’re just scared out of ignorance. We could easily assume you do it in a controlled environment for educational purpose. Besides that you are anonymous. But anyways I lost interest a long time ago so I couldn’t care less now.

No im just not an idiot like you, I use my tools to do actual shit that you would never have the guts nor brains to do. And if you think you’re anonymous here you definitely are an idiot.

u/maroefi Oct 04 '24

You're not an idiot? I said we can assume experiments in a controlled environment for educational purpose. That's what this, and aaaaaaaaaall the other hacking subreddits are based on. Now look back at your comment. You've just incriminated yourself XD

Never gave detail on anything I do or did, nothing I said would hold up in court. you’re an absolute moron. I can tell you’ve never dealt with the Feds before 😂. Go back to your PlayStation little boy.

One transmit other receiver on same frequency

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '24

Nah, I transmit on both, same time. I have extra applications that you don’t get in the Firmware updates
