Big thanks to ThreatLocker for sponsoring my trip to Black Hat 2025. To start your free trial with ThreatLocker please use the following link: https://www.threatlocker.com/davidbombal Discover “Chasing Your Tail,” an open-source surveillance detection tool you can build with a Raspberry Pi. In this exclusive Black Hat interview, creator Matt explains how it tracks Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even tire sensors to spot if you’re being followed, then flips the script to map where your followers spend time. Learn the origins of this tool, from avoiding surprise visits to protecting informants and aiding search & rescue. We cover the tech stack (Kismet, Python, GPS integration), real-world success stories, and how you can set it up yourself for under $100. Perfect for security pros, privacy advocates, and tech enthusiasts. // Matt Edmondson SOCIALS // SANS: https://www.sans.org/profiles/matt-ed...
