I buy this stuff, but I run a security consulting company.
I also make my own stuff like this from time to time. A lot of it is pretty easy. I could teach a class of people to make a badusb device from scratch, code and all, in an hour. Any USB capable microcontroller will do. Should we ban those too?
Bad actors have had more sophisticated hardware at their disposal for decades.
Just look at teardowns of credit card skimmers.
Hak5 is not helping those people. They are helping white hats catch up and helping spread awareness how easy this stuff is.
While your mind is adjusting to this, I encourage you to put "crown vic fleet keys" in Amazon and buy yourself keys to the police cars in your area.
The global state of security is a joke and we need people helping onboard whitehats to help teach people to do better.
