Finally an application for all those theoretical seeing-through-walls attacks!

This looks amazing, but unfortunately it's not open source due to understandable reasons:

A note on open source: There's been a lot of interest in having TOMMY as an open source project, which I fully understand. I'm reluctant to open source before reaching sustainability, as I'd love to work on this full time. However, privacy is verifiable - it's 100% local with no data collection (easily confirmed via packet sniffing or network isolation). Happy to help anyone verify this.

I was looking for the source before I jump on setting it up but maybe I'll have to think about network isolation before that.

I guess I'll wait for the FOSS alternative.
