Does anyone participate in Dead Drops? I'm thinking of putting a few around my university, seeing as how we're a renowned technical institute and the closest drop to us in 3 hours away in Canada. Whats the best way to install them that won't piss of administration but still makes them easily accessible?

Seconding the Pirate Box idea. It is really cheap to make and much more sturdy. I run one for my small neighborhood.

You can build a piratebox for under $35 these days with 64gb of storage. Just hide the thing in the ceiling somewhere and it'll never be found.

Wireless dead drops seem more practical. You can have multiple people using them at once, they're more conspicuous (plugging your computer into a dead drop is pretty obvious) and it's harder to find the physical device, which makes it less likely to get removed/stolen

I just set up a Pirate Box using a Dockstar and WL-330GE. Weird for this thread to pop up. The connector on the router was not U.FL as expected so I ended up just soldering the pigtail to it. Pic related, p. much what I did except I used the other pads near the bottom left. Using a small 5 dBi SMA antenna that came with an Alfa wireless dongle.

Dead drops are interesting, but not secure at all. How hard is it for me to put a rat or other malicious software. I could also work with the police and/or FBI and put illegal content on a few. When someone downloads the CP. or whatever; it will timestamped, and the person downloading will be recorded, and arrested.
