Signal Blocking Faraday Bag



Guess what, your phone and tablet transmit signals too. If you're worried about someone intercepting data or calls or keeping tabs on your position, toss your phone in one of these pouches, which will deaden any and all signals emanating from your phone.


The Black Hole Faraday bag will even let you operate and charge your gear while it's shielded. $610 ($80 for a small pouch).




BlackSheep FireSheep Detector



If you use internet hotspots in public places, there could be someone on the network using Firesheep, a packet-sniffing Firefox extension that steals your log-in credentials. Thankfully, there's a counter-attack app called Blacksheep, which will alert you whenever the network's been compromised. Free.




Kensington USB Port Lock



Even if your network and wireless radios are secure, someone might try to get at your computer the old-fashioned way: sneakernet.


If you keep your USB ports locked up, it makes things thaaaaaaat much harder for a data thief to infiltrate your computer. $20.
