Pirate Box

Last update 2019 Project Closed

PirateBox is a DIY anonymous offline file-sharing and communications system built with free software and inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware. 

What is the PirateBox?

PirateBox creates offline wireless networks designed for anonymous file sharing, chatting, message boarding, and media streaming. You can think of it as your very own portable offline Internet in a box! PirateBox project is following a view simple goals. 

How does it work?

When users join the PirateBox wireless network and open a web browser, they are automatically redirected to the PirateBox welcome page. Users can anonymously chat, post images or comments on the bulletin board, watch or listen to streaming media, or upload and download files inside their web browser. 

Where can I buy a PirateBox?

There are some things that money can't buy, and PirateBox is one of them! However, you can build one yourself by following our easy DIY instructions (OpenWrt instructions) OR (Raspberry Pi instructions) . 

Is it hard to build my own PirateBox?

With the release of PirateBox 1.0, building your own PirateBox has never been easier!

Our current target hardware is the TP-Link TL-MR3020 and TP-Link TL-MR3040 wireless routers and the Raspberry Pi single board computer. You should be able to pick up each of these devices for around US$35. Visit the PirateBox OpenWrt DIY page and the Raspberry Pi page for detailed instructions and more info.

There is also now a PirateBox Android app which can be easily installed on rooted Android phones.

PirateBox will also run on most wireless routers that have USB storage and that are capable of running OpenWrt. It is even possible to install PirateBox directly on a Laptop running Linux. The build process is more advanced than using our target hardware above and your mileage may vary. 

Is it safe?

PirateBox is designed to be private and secure. No logins are required and no user data is logged. Users remain anonymous – the system is purposely not connected to the Internet in order to subvert tracking and preserve user privacy. 

What's new with PirateBox Version 1.0?

PirateBox 1.0 brings several new features including: Responsive web design for ease of use with phones and tablets; UPnP Media Server for local streaming of movies and songs; Image and Message Board for 4chan-like functionality; Chat room for anonymous communications; Browser-based file sharing system! You can learn more about PirateBox Version 1.0 here. 

Can I modify my PirateBox?

Absolutely! PirateBox is free (as in freedom) because it is registered under the GNU GPLv3. This license grants you the right to freely copy, distribute, and transform creative works according to the principles of copyleft. You can learn more about modding your PirateBox by visiting the mods page and the PirateBox Forum.

Pi Box Server & Player

Last update 2023

PiBox Media Server is a purpose-specific implementation built on PiBox with a goal of providing a media server that can stream webcam video and as well as video files over SMB. This is accomplished by adding custom opkg installs on the base PiBox development platform. The PiBox Media Server can be used as a node on a network or as a wireless access point. Additionally, PiBox Media Server will include (over time) support for sensor management making it similar to a home monitoring system.

PiBox Media Player is a purpose-specific implementation built on PiBox with a goal of providing a media player based on the hardware accelerated Raspberry Pi omxplayer. The player is intended to integrate with PiBox Media Server over wifi with the server acting as a wireless access point. HDMI-based DLP projectors are used to create a personal Drive In Theater experience.

MAZI

Last update 2019

MAZI means “together” in Greek. The Mazi project is developing a toolkit for building local, community wireless networks: MAZI Zones. We call this alternative technology Do-It-Yourself networking. It combines wireless technology, low-cost hardware, and free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) applications.

MAZI Zones will be easily deployed and configured based on a rich set of customization options and interdisciplinary knowledge.

OsTicket Pi

Last update 2023

For anyone not familiar with osTicket, It is a fantastic and Free HelpDesk ticketing system. When I originally covered osTicket – The one thing that I kept thinking to myself was ” I wish I could just create an image to share with people to make this easier “.  Enter the Raspberry Pi, Not only is it easy to create & share SD card images for the Pi – But there is a great community built around the Pi and with it a wealth of knowledge to draw from. What makes this project so great, is that you can simply download the osTicket-Pi image and load it onto your PI and away you go. No lengthy setup/troubleshooting process before you can Demo osTicket and for any IT department on a shoestring budget – the hardware couldn’t be cheaper! Literally, within just a few minutes you can be booting up a working version of osTicket to start logging tickets!

PiCroft

Last update 2022

Picroft is an enclosure for a Raspberry Pi 3, 3B+ or 4 connected to a speaker and microphone, bringing Mycroft to anyone who wants a simple voice interface they have complete control over. This is built on top of the official Raspbian Buster Lite image.

The entire project is available as a pre-built micro-SD image ready to be burned and placed into a Raspberry Pi.

Picroft is entirely open source, and PRs and Issues are warmly welcomed on the Picroft GitHub repo.

As of December 2018, Picroft includes built-in support for the Google AIY voice HAT.

Pi Fm RDS

Last update 2019

FM-RDS transmitter using the Raspberry Pi's PWM

Basada en Slimbian trae todo para que directamente funcione el programa Pi FmRDS

This program generates an FM modulation, with RDS (Radio Data System) data generated in real time. It can include monophonic or stereophonic audio.

It is based on the FM transmitter created by Oliver Mattos and Oskar Weigl, and later adapted to using DMA by Richard Hirst. Christophe Jacquet adapted it and added the RDS data generator and modulator. The transmitter uses the Raspberry Pi's PWM generator to produce VHF signals.

It is compatible with both the Raspberry Pi 1 (the original one) and the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.
