The We.piranha: The First Installment, #1

—Chapter 1—

Start by approaching your specific situation with the belief the We.piranha is more intelligent than any device you own. Unfortunate to say, but it is more intelligent—much more intelligent. In order to have a chance at beating the We.piranha, you need to think old school! Take your complex setup, and un-complex it!

This is the only way to attempt to get on even battlegrounds. Except you are never going to be on even battlegrounds with the piranha. Regrettably, no matter what you or I do, we will always be at a disadvantage. Knowing this we must use everything at our disposal, to our advantage. Do not take anything for granted when fighting the piranha, and be creative.

First, we must breakdown what the We.piranha generally offers for the troll/hacker.

1. Wi-Fi Interception—The We.piranha is capable of detecting and intercepting Wi-Fi signals. It can scan for Wi-Fi networks operating in specific frequencies, typically within the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and analyze the traffic passing through these networks. This may include data such as email messages or other unencrypted information sent over the network.

2. Packet Capture—The We.piranha may capture data packets traveling over the Wi-Fi network. This can help intercept, and analyze, both encrypted and unencrypted traffic. Depending on the sophistication of the device, it likely possesses the capability to break certain encryption protocols, or at least extract metadata such as device identifiers, network activity, and communication patterns.

3. Surveillance Capabilities—The We.piranha can be used in covert, surveillance operations, enabling operators to monitor communications in real-time. It may have capabilities to work passively without alerting the target system, making it suitable for tactical operations in sensitive environments.

4. Location Tracking—The We.piranha can also be used to track the physical location of devices actively transmitting over Wi-Fi networks. This is achieved by measuring signal strength direction and triangulating the position of a Wi-Fi device based on its signal transmission.

5. Tactical Use—In a military or security context, these sensors are valuable for monitoring enemy communications, or conducting operations to disable or disrupt adversary networks. It may also be used for preventing data, leaks, or identifying unauthorized devices within a secured perimeter.

6. Countermeasures—The We.piranha does include tools to help detect and counteract the use of encrypted or hidden Wi-Fi networks. The We.piranha also includes features to jam or disrupt Wi-Fi communication within a specified area.

Overall, the We.piranha is a sophisticated tool intended for monitoring and intercepting wireless communications in a variety of applications, from tactical military operations to intelligence gathering and law enforcement surveillance. Nevertheless, specifics of the We.piranha may vary depending on its intended purpose, capabilities, and design features, which are usually proprietary and kept confidential due to security concerns by the troll/hacker. The key point, never underestimate the hacker nor the piranha.

Important to emphasize at this point, the piranha does have the capability of utilizing Voice Over Internet Protocol, AKA VOIP. Technically speaking, the troll/hacker is transferring phone calls from voice into digital signal. This gives the troll the ability to eavesdrop on phone calls.

Lastly, do not rule out extenders and other devices attached to the piranha; they make it even more powerful and dangerous.

On paper, the We.piranha appears mysterious or cryptic, but witnessing it in action takes it to a whole new level.

—Chapter 2—

The main devices I have encountered, of the We.piranha, are the We.piranha.xb6 and the We.piranha.off; other versions—with other names do exist, and they always contain the word piranha. Keep an extreme—open mind—to this idea as it will likely come into play for you, as it has for me. Such goes the saying—knowledge is power. The more known about these piranha versions, the better! As far as my knowledge goes, all of these piranhas are the same. They are all used in the same manner, meant for the same functions, and have the exact same capabilities. The advancement of the hacker controls the advancement of the We.piranha.

Research implies the We.piranha has been described as many things and/or names—Master installation device for Xfinity and/or Comcast, Mesh Backhaul GRE(Generic Routing Encapsulation), Backbone, Presidential/Secret Service device, Tactical device made by Pegasus Intelligence, Israeli Interception Kit, and the  Ukrainian Piranha AVD 360. It is probable there are also other versions/names of the piranha out there in the wild. This whole situation, or conversation—involving the piranha—is such a hidden and mythical topic; I absolutely believe other versions/names are out there in the wild.

The primary challenge with narrowing down the exact name is no one truly knows the exact name. Nevertheless, as stated it always has the word piranha in the name somewhere. Subsequently, the only individuals whom seem to know, the true name and full nature of the device, are the trolls and hackers engaged in these malevolent acts against us all.

From all known knowledge, the We.piranha(this version of the piranha) origination was a collaboration between the engineers working for Xfinity/Comcast and a private tactical organization known as Pegasus Intelligence. The design and build were nothing short of brilliant. Pegasus Intelligence is a technology company specializing in creating solutions for field service management. Basically, the We.piranha is intended to help technicians efficiently manage a variety of tasks, whilst in the field, and has played a significant role in improving the efficiency of Xfinity/Comcast service installations.

This lab-created(piranha) version seems to be the origin of the We.piranha; however, other—less sophisticated—versions predate the We.piranha. On the flipside, other versions most likely postdate the We.piranha as well.

When all is said and done, no matter what name it is given, to my basic understanding, they are all the same device; do not be fooled. A pseudonym(a fake name), metonymy(using a related term), or simply renaming the We.piranha will not hoodwink us. We can call the piranha a fish, but to us, it is still just a hacking device. Do not let anyone—ever—persuade you otherwise. The We.piranha is exactly what you think it is. We must take a deeper dive into each of these piranha names to fully understand the etymology.

1. Master installation device for Xfinity and/or Comcast—When someone does not have internet and needs a connection, the installers bring out a master device. One of these devices is known as the Gateway Piranha, AKA the We.piranha,  although this model has since been discontinued. The Xfinity/Comcast worker—whom illegally acquired this device—left the company in 2018, taking it with him. Subsequently, there are many of these installation devices, physical and virtual, still roaming around—in the wild—today! Note— whether internet or cell phone, the whole time whilst battling the We.piranha, I have been an Xfinity/Comcast customer.

2. Mesh Backhaul GRE(Generic Routing Encapsulation)—Essentially this transports data traffic between a local access network, such as what Xfinity/Comcast would use, to the customer. Xfinity/Comcast uses this private network when there is no internet present, allowing service workers access when they cannot establish a connection to a modem. In essence, this serves as another way for the We.piranha to sneak into your home, and private
