For: IT practitioners and network hobbyists
Worth noticing: The project list marks two devices “Out now,” one a working prototype, and one early hardware.

Field notes

The project list distinguishes two devices labeled “Out now” from the ND-1 working prototype and the ND-2 early-hardware build. The Scout’s described features include passive listening across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee, while the ND-1 lists cable-fault and distance testing alongside DHCP, ping, and traceroute. The site says firmware, documentation, and build guides live on GitHub.
