An informal blog demonstrates a red-team proof of concept: embedding a Raspberry Pi in a toy, powering it with a battery pack, and configuring hostapd along with wireless assessment tools (e.g., Kismet, airmon-ng/airodump-ng) to stand up a covert Wi‑Fi cell and capture WPA handshakes via deauthentication for offline cracking; it includes range/power observations with a directional antenna and emphasizes tactics rather than any specific incident or vulnerability.
