Megazap 9001

For the eth0:2012 summer scavhunt one of the challenges was to aleviate our real life bug problem.

As the eth0 summer site is located in a forest next to a lake an unprecendeted amount of flying critters had made their way to the camp in search of blikenlights while in the process annoying the hackers. However, before the bugs where capable of mounting a propper attack, two (Eighdot, Sa007) of the visitors devised a plan to create the largest bug zapper ever seen.

There's a floodlight inside the now reused microwave oven instead of the microwave tube that used to be there as we have no intentions of frying the visitors. As the floodlight is connected to the two sides of the zapper it lights up as soon as a bug "closes" the cirquit.
