A pinephone with keyboard shows Rayhunter running locally. An Orbic hotspot with the EFF logo sits next to it, also using rayhunter. It’s dark.

Thanks @eff.org for making cellular tools for tomorrow with devices from a decade ago.

Rayhunter back and evolving fast- v0.5.0 has some new detection capabilities I was hoping for.
