A silent tripwire that sits on your network and quietly alerts you when anyone starts scanning.
Works on any Raspberry Pi 3B+ or newer • 5-minute setup
People going through a divorce or separation often wonder if their ex (or someone helping them) is quietly checking their network.
Small businesses want to verify no one is mapping their systems. Compromised IoT devices can start scanning everything around them.
You don’t need to live in constant suspicion.
You just need a simple, passive way to actually know when someone is actively looking.
Insert the preloaded 32GB card into any Raspberry Pi (3B+ or newer).
Ethernet preferred. It just needs to be on the same network.
Visit hackertrap.local:8080 and connect your notifications.
It runs silently until it detects something worth telling you about.
The first thing any attacker does is scan. HackerTrap notices it immediately.
Think of it like a motion sensor for your network. It won’t stop sophisticated attacks, but it will tell you the moment someone starts looking.

Divorce, separation, shared homes, or just wanting to know your network is quiet.
Verify that no one is quietly mapping your systems.
Many smart devices get compromised and start scanning the rest of the network.
Everything ready to go. Just insert into your Raspberry Pi and set it up in 5 minutes.

No. The SD card version is truly plug and play. Browser setup takes about 5 minutes.
Sometimes. Certain smart devices or printers can occasionally trigger alerts. Most people quickly learn what’s normal on their network.
Only for sending notifications. It still works and logs activity locally without internet.
Not at all. It’s a simple, honest tool that answers one specific question: “Is anyone actively scanning my network right now?”
