The Digital Gas Mask is a used Soviet gas mask upgraded for the digital age. Justin Kent conceived the idea and design for the mask, and I designed and built the electronics for it.
The mask consists of a rubber face cover, a hose and a filter in a steel can. Eight LEDs (red, orange and green) are mounted behind each glass eye cover. A cable from the LEDs runs down the hose and into the filter can. In this can is the Ethernet interface, a microcontroller, and a NiMH battery pack. There is an RJ-45 jack on the bottom of the can, for an Ethernet cable.
The microcontroller can be easily replaced to change the mask's behavior. One program showed unencrypted and encrypted bandwidth on the left and right eyes, respectively. Another program searched HTTP traffic for keywords. The mask can also transmit; one program poisoned a network by flooding it with bogus traffic.
