What We Do

Our hardware is...

Open Source

Our hardware is completely open source: from the software running on the device, to the schematics, layout, and mechanical engineering. If you're a company considering using our products, you can be sure you'll have access to everything you need. And if you're an independent maker, you can be sure to learn from our designs.

Purposeful

We build hardware that enables people to solve hard problems in the security landscape. Our devices run Linux, so you can use all of your existing test frameworks, tools, and skills. We aim to reduce your time debugging and increase your time solving problems.

For a better Earth

Open source hardware is better for the planet. Unlike traditional hardware, designed with planned obsolesce in mind, open source hardware can be fixed and upgraded at the lowest possible level. The software can be patched, and you're not beholden to the vendor; the user controls everything.

Modular

We strongly believe in enabling users to upgrade, maintain, modify, and hack at their hardware. We absorb standards, while also creating standards. If something can be upgraded we aim to make it so.

Ethical

All of our hardware is designed for ethical hacking. We want to enable professionals and amateurs alike to be able to secure our digital lives and bring awareness to security shortcomings.

Fun

We strive to make hardware that is enjoyable to use, and encourages people of all ages and abilities to express themselves while learning and challenging themselves.
