Six months of design iterations, sourcing headaches, and a broken oscilloscope later — I am pleased to share a hardware module I designed to extend the Flipper ecosystem for RF security research. This write-up covers the motivation, engineering challenges, capabilities, and responsible-disclosure principles behind the project — and a frank look at a vulnerability that is very much alive in the Maldives today. Left: 3D render of final PCB · Right: Altium Designer PCB layout view Why I Built It The trigger was reading the original MouseJack disclosure by Bastille Networks. It made me realize that a class of peripherals most people assume to be harmless — the cheap wireless mouse on your desk — can be weaponized from a car park. I wanted a research platform small enough to carry in a jacket pocket, native to the Flipper Zero ecosystem, and capable of passive scanning, protocol analysis, and controlled lab tests. What I...
If you want to run your own script for example a shell script, python etc as a Linux service, please follow this guide. I have tested and already using this methods and this works perfectly. In this example i am using an Ubuntu Linux and a shell script (which will run ngrok as service) if you want to know more about ngrok check out there website.
STEP#1: Prepare you script file that you want to run as a service.
once you are done with editing save and exit
STEP#2: Prepare the service
Go to "/etc/systemd/system" and create a file with your naming preferences but should end with a ".service" for example my file name was ngrok.service
This how the file should look like. ExecStart is where you define the script that you want to run. Once you done editing save the file and follow the commands as follows.
To enable the service
systemctl enable ngrok.service
Reload the deamon
systemctl daemon-reload
Test the service
if you run "service ngrok start" it will start the service and you can type "service ngrok status" to check if the service is running or not and you can top the service by "service ngrok stop" command.
if it is running it will show as above image.
