It is probably going to come to this.
I have Wireshark, but haven’t really had a reason to learn it. I mostly just stare at the traffic rolling by the way they do on The Matrix. This is on the list to try.
Sounds like purchasing got a deal on surplus spook gear.
This is interesting. I had to modify it to nmap -A -T4 -p- -Pn .

Unfortunately, I bought quite a few T-Link products before the IC revealed that they are dangerous.
It is worth exploring.
