 Product Information

Hack into common household products and convert them into really cool stuff!

This true hacker’s guide shows how 30 common household items can be hacked and tweaked into products totally different than what the manufacturer intended. Garage and basement tinkerers will get fully illustrated step-by-step coverage of exactly which products are “hackable,” how to hack them, and how to convert them into some unique, fun stuff. You will learn how to hack a telephone solicitor zapper that hangs up on phone spammers, create a robot that’s a digital plaything for Fido, and hack their home into an abode that would make a security expert envious.
