Ryan Walker's Blackpants Turn the Flipper Blackhat Board Into a Standalone Linux Terminal
Maker Ryan Walker, of Rootkit Labs, has released design files for a compact low-power handheld Linux-based system dubbed the Blackhat with Blackpants — built for on-the-go security analysis and penetration testing of Wi-Fi networks.
"I designed a fully open-source, Linux-enabled cyberdeck built specifically for ethical hacking," Walker explains of the project. "The module that slides into the back is also my own design. It originally started as a [Flipper Devices] Flipper Zero add-on board called the Flipper Blackhat, but I got tired of everyone asking what the Flipper was for. So now, if you don’t want the Flipper integration, you can simply buy the Blackpants module instead."
