A revolutionary gadget called Interrupt has just launched on Kickstarter, aiming to challenge the popular Flipper Zero in the world of portable hacking tools.
Built on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and running a full Linux OS, Interrupt is designed for makers, pen-testers, and tech enthusiasts who want more control and flexibility from their devices.
Advanced Features for Power Users
Interrupt offers a 3.5-inch touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, and gamepad buttons, making it easy to use for both beginners and experienced users.
It packs a 2000 mAh battery, Wi-Fi (802.11ac), Bluetooth, CC1101 Sub-1 GHz radio, NFC/RFID, IR TX/RX, and a programmable 10-pin GPIO for hardware projects. This makes it suitable for wireless testing, signal analysis, and running custom scripts right on the device-no extra hardware needed.
