Sniper rifle modded to be WiFi antenna
A friend of mine from the Shmoo hacker group told me about this amazing DefCon stunt back in June and swore me to secrecy, and it's been one of the hardest secrets I've ever kept, because this is so goddamned cool.

The Sniper Yagi is an M16 with the firing apparatus removed and replaced with a directional high-powered antenna. Use the sniper stand and sight to line up your WiFi shot, plug in, and let the packets begin! Link
