## What it is
A modified version of OpenHaystack that demonstrates a stealth AirTag clone capable of bypassing Apple's Find My tracking protection features, using ESP32 firmware and a macOS retrieval app. It is a security research project showcasing weaknesses in anti-stalking protections.

## Use cases
- demonstrate bypass of Apple Find My anti-tracking protections
- build a stealthy custom Bluetooth tracking tag on ESP32
- research AirTag stalking protection weaknesses
- track devices via Apple's Find My network with OpenHaystack
- manage thousands of Find My tracker keys efficiently

## When to choose
- you are researching or demonstrating weaknesses in Apple's Find My anti-stalking protections
- you need a customizable OpenHaystack-based tracker firmware for ESP32
- you want to operate many Find My-compatible tags at scale

## When to avoid
- you want a legitimate, protection-compliant item tracker for personal belongings
- you need a maintained production tool - this is a research proof-of-concept with key generation code intentionally omitted
- you cannot legally or ethically use covert tracking in your jurisdiction

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, cryptography, embedded, networking
- domain: security, privacy, hardware, reverse-engineering
