> [This tutorial](https://wiki.digitalprivacy.diy/en/extras/device_inspections) is to help you to dig deeper into your devices. See what your specific device/software does on your server, phone and desktop.  

# New "Extras" is available
New domain, new extras!    
It doesn't cover in detail how to use mitmproxy / wireshark (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK, FIN ...) etc., but it's enough to get an idea of what your devices are doing in your own network.    
Use Wireshark world map option to see which countries your devices/software connect to.   
It also gives you more information to improve your [firewall](https://wiki.digitalprivacy.diy/en/server/services/firewalld) or [DNS blocklist](https://wiki.digitalprivacy.diy/en/server/services/adguardhome).

The tutorial works with the following programs/systems:
* mitmproxy
* wireshark
* tcpdump
* frida
  * objection
* proxychain-ng
* tsocks
* pcapdroid
* openwrt
* opnsense
* windows 11
* firefox
* socks5
* wireguard

Thanks to [httptoolkit](https://httptoolkit.com/) for "[How to install system CA certificates in Android 14](https://httptoolkit.com/blog/android-14-install-system-ca-certificate/)".  
And, of course, many thanks to the software developers for giving us the opportunity to check our devices in the first place.

As usual, a new tutorial means an updated [donation list](https://wiki.digitalprivacy.diy/en/extras/donation_list#extras).      
Feel free to donate to your favourite open source software! `?` means I couldn't find the donation link. If you know where it is, please let me know!

Have fun checking your devices/software!
