I dunno man, I have a hard time giving any sort of give a shit about a world leader of the standing NATO hegemony getting a bit bullied.

Pop the same file through VirusTotal and see what comes back. Defender will sometimes flag shit just because it performs activity that MS doesn’t like.

SDR Tomfoolery (www.rtl-sdr.com)
 

In an attempt to have a hand at real life cyber+punk, it might be interesting to take a look at SDR.

For just a handful of dollars, it's possible to get some pretty cool receive-only tools. Within a few hours of exploring the possibilities, I was able to find the local police and emergency services bands ( though, most of the channels were encrypted ).

On the same equipment, tuned to plane transponder frequencies, and now you can watch nearby aircraft traffic.

I'm by no means any sort of expert on this, but it was interesting to dig in and discover what information you can mine from the air.

Have any of you worked with tools like these? Maybe even dabbled in radio technology in general?
