Hi people.

I suspect my office might be bugged. How should I detect hidden cams and mics?

    Get a FLIR capable camera and scan for heat sources

    Ulefone Armor are relatively cheap phones with that capability, and they’re fun too

      Amazon has some no name brands for not insane money. But used you can get actual flir stuff for pretty cheap. Especially those phone attachment cameras. Just know as “technology progresses” they might stop working with new OS versions.

        They advertise and are professionally licensed. Many specialize in counter-surveillance.

        Other then the advice to “look”, theres not much you can do.

        To do this in a way that will locate well-hidden devices you should hire a professional who owns the right tools.

        Otherwise, install kismet and monitor for unknown BLE and wifi signals and use video surveillance to detect people attempting to remove passive devices.

        You won’t be able to locate devices that use other wireless technology without specialized tools.

        If this is a serious worry then hire a professional

      Not for the actors I’m currently worried about. My phone is definitely bugged by govt. And being monitored but this is a more direct threat right now and the actors aren’t the type to bug a phone.
