Bring the charm and functionality of the Netgotchi project right to your desk with the Desktop Netgotchi! This delightful desktop companion is designed to help you monitor your network while adding a touch of cuteness to your workspace. Housed in a whimsical 3D-printed case that looks like a mini computer, complete with expressive eyebrows, this variant offers the same fun and features as its portable counterpart, with a bigger screen and minus the battery.
What's Inside the Desktop Netgotchi Kit?
- Custom 3D Printed Case: Available in multiple colors, as shown in the pictures.
- Wemos D1 ESP8266 Board: The latest version, pre-flashed with Netgotchi software.
- Bigger 1.3" OLED Screen: Available with either White or Blue text for an even clearer and more engaging display.
- No-Solder Screen Connection: Includes a cable to connect the screen to the board without any soldering required.
Free Shipping and Easy Assembly!
Putting together your Desktop Netgotchi is a breeze:
- Glue the Screen: Secure the screen in place. I use a tiny bit of hot glue.
- Plug in the Board: Connect the board to the screen using the provided jumper cable.
- Close the Case: Snap the case shut.
- Plug It In: Connect it to a USB C cable, and you're ready to go!
What Can the Desktop Netgotchi Do?
Just like the portable version, the Desktop Netgotchi helps monitor your network with advanced detection features, including:
- Network Intrusion Detection: Detect intruders or breaches within your network.
- Periodic Network Pings: Monitor and report any new devices appearing on the network.
- Rudimentary Honeypot Functionality: Includes an exposed service that triggers an alarm when accessed, useful for detecting unauthorized scanning attempts.
- Tested with Nmap, Netgotchi's honeypot can trigger an alert upon a service scan, making it a powerful addition to your desktop security tools.
