Portable Collection Endpoint

The Jackal - Alpha is a powerful and versatile single-board computer (SBC) designed for advanced wireless network analysis and geolocation. Built around the cutting-edge Latte Panda 3 Delta platform, this device is equipped with a range of features that make it an ideal tool for signals intelligence and covert operations.

Key Features

  • Latte Panda 3 Delta platform: The Jackal - Alpha is built on the powerful and efficient Latte Panda 3 Delta platform, ensuring high performance and reliability.
  • UPS riser board: An integrated UPS (uninterruptible power supply) riser board ensures that the device can continue to operate even in the event of power disruptions.
  • External 282Wh battery: The Jackal - Alpha can be equipped with an external 282Wh battery for extended operation times (roughly 30 hours).
  • 10 tri-band Wi-Fi cards: With 10 tri-band Wi-Fi cards, the Jackal - Alpha can perform comprehensive wireless network scanning and analysis across a wide range of frequencies. The high number of Wi-Fi cards allows for the use of multiple channels and frequencies, which is ideal for gathering intelligence and ensuring you do not miss a packet while operating at speed when you only have one chance.
  • Onboard Wi-Fi and Ethernet: The Jackal - Alpha includes onboard Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports for flexible connectivity options in non-4G or 5G areas.
  • Other Spectrum Intelligence: The Jackal - Alpha can be equipped with other spectrum intelligence tools such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, and other sub-1GHz radios.
  • Dual-band GPS: The device includes a dual-band GPS module for accurate geolocation and positioning.
  • 4G or 5G modem: Depending on your needs, the Jackal - Alpha can be equipped with either a 4G or 5G modem for high-speed cellular connectivity.

Software and Functionality

The Jackal - Alpha runs Kismet natively, providing full Wi-Fi spectrum scanning and capturing detailed information about access points and devices. This makes it an invaluable tool for identifying and analyzing wireless networks in various environments.

The device is designed to operate as a headless endpoint, allowing for remote command and control through a web interface, SSH, or compatible software such as S1Gint.Agent or Core. This flexibility enables users to deploy the Jackal - Alpha in a variety of scenarios and manage it remotely as needed.

Applications

While the Jackal - Alpha is a highly flexible device with numerous potential applications, it is particularly well-suited for signals intelligence. Its ability to confidently geolocate target Wi-Fi networks and identify security devices that could compromise missions makes it an essential tool for professionals in these fields.

Whether you're a security researcher, penetration tester, or involved in specialized operations, the Jackal - Alpha provides the capabilities you need to gather critical wireless network intelligence and make informed decisions in the field.
