What can you get for $3 these days?

A handy precision screwdriver set that includes a magnetic pickup that is what!

Our Hacker Everyday Carry (HEDC) Giveaway is going to be well-rounded. Not only will you receive some fine electronic hacking equipment but you will also have the pleasure of having in your possession a $3 screwdriver set. I included one of these because when you need a #0 Phillips nothing else works like the real thing.

Don’t be concerned though. We will continue to add a plethora of products to our bag. Even though this $3 set is exciting it will not be the top of the heap when it comes to our HEDC contents.

Zero!

How appropriate is it for the first thing in the Hacker Everyday Carry (HEDC) to be a Zero? There is a programming joke somewhere in there if you look hard enough.

The Raspberry Pi Zero W kit has everything you need to get started with the Pi Zero W. The Pi Zero W is small enough to be used in all types of portable projects.

 

The specifications are pretty impressive.

  • 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN
  • Bluetooth 4.1
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

Like the Pi Zero, it also has:

  • 1GHz, single-core CPU
  • 512MB RAM
  • Mini HDMI and USB On-The-Go ports
  • Micro USB power
  • HAT-compatible 40-pin header
  • Composite video and reset headers
  • CSI camera connector

One example use is the PoisonTap. It uses the Pi Zero to pull info from a locked computer through a USB port. You can see the full project plan here PoisonTap
