“The PiRogue is an open hardware device based on a Raspberry Pi operating as a network router (like any ISP router) analyzing network traffic in real time”

https://piroguetoolsuite.github.io/docs/pirogue/overview/

Three modes: kiosk/MitM, incident response, expert/investigation mode (my poor quick explanation of theirs from the link)

Edit-looks like it routes connections to its Wi-Fi through the Ethernet port and inspects/displays data through grafana. Wish it supported another Ethernet port/dongle. But it’s great as is.


Indeed kinda weird that it can't just use 2x ethernet. Would be a nice IDS device then.

Also, problem is it won't capture factory firmware stuff that forces itself out over the 4G/5G connection on the device even when wifi is connected. Though I suppose you can set it on flight mode. But smart malware would just pause its upload then, I assume.


Sounds really cool but I wish there was more info. Like how it works, before having to dive into the documentation.

For example the name makes it sound like there's a raspberry pi involved but the about didn't mention it. IMO it would benefit from some more screenshots or one of those animated gif demos.

Edit: I see the docs explain it and there is in fact a pi involved, but normally the docs would be something I look at after I've already decided I want to use it, just saying :)


As a fan of traditional watercraft - awesome name! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirogue
