Autoprober Goes Viral on HN — AI-Driven Hardware Hacking Arm Built from Duct Tape, Old Webcam, and CNC Machine

Hacker News / GitHub·medium signal

An open-source project called Autoprober hit 223 HN points and 46 comments — it's an AI-driven hardware security probing arm cobbled together from duct tape, an old webcam, and a CNC machine. The system uses computer vision to identify physical hardware test points and autonomously probe them for security analysis. This is peak builder-hacker energy: combining AI, computer vision, and physical hardware on a shoestring budget to automate a traditionally manual security workflow.
