Interesting, but Pi-Alert and it's successors do that all for free, no "activation" or tiers required.

I bought the fing box. Cool thing with a light ring that would alert you on new devices connected to WiFi, rogue activity and other shit. Then realized how much data it sniffed on my network.

And since it was all sent to some cloud fucks one like yah pass.

Then they killed the whole thing it seems, wanted you to just use the app and run agents, with elevated access.

Pass.

The key wasn’t the agent it was the backend. And they wouldn’t release a community version to run it all local.

So yeah that little round box with a light ring is somewhere in a box.

And you said it all with pi-alert

In the end fuck fing.

The original author (puncherot, I believe) stopped working on the project because of other obligations and a couple of people took it over.

I use this particular variant: https://github.com/leiweibau/Pi.Alert

It's running on an Orange Pi 1 with no issues. Interestingly, the OP1 was originally another intrusion detector that the manufacturer abandoned, but they did everyone a solid when they did and provided a slimmed-down, but still useful OS image with a basic intrusion detection system built in. That's the way you do it.
