Go to Defcon.
Buy Hak5 hacking tools.
Afraid to try them out.

Setup WIFI Pineapple.
Figure out how to use it.
Start seeing everyone hitting my captive portal instead of the hotels captive portal.
Immediately turn it off.
Feel like an asshole.

Why did I buy these?

    @jens-peter too easy. Then again I have experience in computer forensics and honey pots.

    Now to figure out how to use the Bash Bunny.

    I feel you. Had the same experience a couple of years ago.

    I feared that the honest pre-text of "I was just testing some security tools" wouldn't be enough for me to get out of trouble. #nerd4life

    Last year people were bricking pinapples with some remote exploit to troll the amateur hackers who bought these things with little understanding

    I don't know everything about security and am by no means an expert, but I wouldn't call myself an amateur either.

    They seem like fun to try out but seem somewhat legally iffy...
