Which brings me to part two, MeshMarauder.
An open source tool demonstrating proof-of-concept exploits against the DEFCON 33 Meshtastic firmware.
MeshMarauder will demostrate:
- Tracking user activity on any mesh regardless of encryption usage
- Hijack all meshtastic user profile metadata
- Change any users public key
- Send messages as any user in channel chats that appear authentic
- MITM direct messages

If you’re looking for a Meshtastic alternative which was designed with cryptographic security in mind instead of adding it as an afterthought, check out Reticulum and its RNode firmware which lets it use (most) Meshtastic-compatible LoRa devices as a modem.
Reticulum also has much more intelligent routing, can work over things besides just LoRa (including the internet), and (some) applications built on it provide reliable transport.
