Eavesdrop2
About the Eavesdrop2 PCB
Eavesdrop2 is an open source PCB design by SamyIOoOI, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 70 × 50 mm, with 21 components from 18 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LM386. By type, the board carries 9 capacitors, 4 resistors, 1 IC, 1 connector, 1 speaker and 1 transformer.
From the project
A "current carrier bug" that records the sound inside the area its plugged in and sends it back through the building's AC directly, evading RF detection as awhole.
A "current carrier bug" is a spy tool that records the sound inside the area its plugged in and sends it back through the AC power its connected to directly, evading most detection devices available in the market that rely on RF to detect these devices.
No matter where you are. The bug listens as long as there's electricity flowing in the bugged device.
- Undetectable (via RF Detectors that are commonly used) - Secretive (but requires prior access to the room)
