OUI-SPY EARRINGS: Wearable art meets meets ble sniffing

The OUI-SPY Earrings represent the ultimate fusion of wearable art and cutting-edge Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) detection technology. Building upon the OUI-SPY platform, these miniaturized earring versions deliver the same powerful surveillance detection capabilities in a unique, artistic form factor that can be worn as functional jewelry.

Hardware Specs

The earrings feature a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 microcontroller with dual-core Tensilica Xtensa LX7 processor. Integrated BLE and Wi-Fi connectivity provide full wireless capabilities. A 100mAh rechargeable battery delivers extended wear time. Onboard LED indicators provide visual alerts, with the buzzer removed for wearable comfort. Sophisticated USB charging and power regulation ensure reliable operation. The earring-compatible size features artistic skull and mushroom PCB design. USB serial output enables drone mapping and Flock camera detection. High-quality PCB construction is manufactured by PCBWay.

Firmware

The OUI-SPY Earrings support all existing OUI-SPY firmware options!

DETECTOR

This mode can track and filter devices by MAC address and filter by Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUIs). Users can track devices by manufacturer or track individual devices. A browser-based interface provides configuration and monitoring.

FOXHUNTER

This mode locks onto single BLE devices and provides signal strength mapping via LED patterns. It’s perfect for radio direction finding competitions and asset tracking applications.

SKY SPY

This firmware detects and tracks aerial surveillance systems. It provides drone detection and monitoring capabilities along with airborne monitoring equipment identification. USB serial drone mapping output delivers real-time situational awareness.

FLOCK YOU

This firmware identifies Flock Safety surveillance cameras and detects similar surveillance devices. Multiple detection methodologies provide real-time monitoring with LED alerts. USB serial Flock mapping output and comprehensive JSON output enable users to “watch the watchers.”

UNIPWN FIRMWARE

This Unitree robot rooting and pwning toolkit enables offensive robotics security research. The portable exploit framework serves as a hardware security assessment tool. Originally developed by Bin4ryDigit and d0tslash.

Design

The OUI-SPY Earrings embody the intersection of art, fashion, and technology. The skull-and-mushroom artwork pays homage to both the counterculture roots of hardware hacking and the networked nature of modern surveillance systems. Each earring is a statement piece that challenges the notion that privacy tools must be utilitarian. Instead, these devices prove that security technology can be beautiful, wearable, and conversation-starting.

Use Cases

The earrings enable personal privacy protection during daily activities. Surveillance infrastructure mapping via USB serial output allows tracking of surveillance systems. Drone detection works in urban environments. Flock camera identification and tracking reveals surveillance infrastructure. Security research and assessment capabilities serve professional needs. Radio direction finding competitions benefit from the compact form factor. Asset tracking and recovery applications are supported. The devices serve as wearable art and tech fashion statements. Cybersecurity awareness demonstrations showcase privacy technology. Hardware hacking community events celebrate the intersection of art and function.

Usb Serial Mapping

The OUI-SPY Earrings feature USB serial output capabilities for advanced mapping applications.

Drone Mapping

Real-time serial output of detected drone signatures provides immediate awareness. GPS coordinate logging works when paired with external GPS. Signal strength data enables proximity estimation. MAC address and OUI identification reveal device details. Time-stamped detection logs create detailed records.

Flock Mapping

Surveillance camera detection via serial interface identifies monitoring infrastructure. Geographic mapping of surveillance infrastructure creates awareness. JSON formatted output enables database integration. Real-time monitoring and logging track surveillance presence. Multi-methodology detection confirmation ensures accurate identification.

Manufacturing Quality

Precision manufactured by PCBWay, a renowned PCB manufacturer known for supporting innovative hardware projects. Each earring features industry-leading production quality with precise manufacturing tolerances. Flawless silkscreen reproduction of artwork captures every detail. Durable construction supports everyday wear. Perfect component alignment ensures reliability. Crisp detail in skull and mushroom artwork creates stunning visuals. Functional art withstands daily use.
