Turns any Linux laptop into a curl-able IoT pentest lab with per-query DNS logging.

Strengths
  • Self-contained Docker Compose setup handles hostapd, dnsmasq, and NAT routing automatically.
  • Local domain resolution lets devices appear as kitchen-pi.lan instead of opaque IP addresses.
  • Per-query DNS logging reveals exactly what smart devices are phoning home to without rootkits.
Weaknesses
  • Requires specific WiFi hardware supporting AP mode, excluding many common Realtek USB adapters.
  • Linux-only constraint limits accessibility for security researchers primarily using macOS or Windows.
