       | 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 :)

       | 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.

         | 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.
