Making Digital Security Real for Everyone
Hex Recon is a New Zealand hardware company with a simple belief: you can't protect yourself from something you can't see. We build the tools that make the invisible, visible.
Build Digital Security Awareness
Our vision is to build a world where digital security is no longer a mystery, but a common language shared by everyone. We imagine a future where every individual feels confident and empowered to navigate the digital landscape, where families are resilient against scams, and where the tools for protection are as simple and accessible as the devices they secure.
At Hex Recon, we aren't just building hardware — we are building a more informed, aware, and secure society.
Seeing Is Believing
Most of us know digital threats exist — we've heard the warnings, read the news, maybe even had someone close fall victim to a scam. But knowing a threat exists and truly understanding how it works are two very different things.
Hex Recon closes that gap. Our hardware lets you experience, firsthand, exactly how scammers and hackers operate — in the safety of your own home. You don't need a tech background. You just need the curiosity to protect what matters.

Founder & DirectorThe mind behind Hex Recon. A visionary architect on a mission to design and develop tools that ensure digital security is accessible to everyone. The goal is to empower families and individuals with the confidence to protect their digital lives in a world that is more connected than ever.
Built for Awareness
We design and manufacture our tools locally in New Zealand to ensure quality and integrity.
GhostKey Nano
Physical Device Security Demo
Walk away from your computer for 30 seconds. This small device shows you exactly what someone with bad intentions could do in that time — and why locking your screen is one of the most important habits you can build.
GhostKey Wi
Wireless Device Security Demo
The evolution of the Nano with wireless capability. Demonstrate remote payload execution and covert exfiltration, showing how physical access can rapidly turn into persistent wireless control over a system.
GateKeeper M1
Network Monitoring Tool
Your home Wi-Fi is busier than you think. The GateKeeper M1 shows you the digital signals flowing in and out of your network every day — helping you spot anything that shouldn't be there.
Safety Is a Family Conversation
You wouldn't send your kids out without teaching them road safety. Digital safety is no different. Hex Recon brings that conversation to life through hands-on community events anyone can join.
Family Safety Workshop Kits
We provide the hardware kits that let families sit down together and safely see how device exploits work. Parents and kids can learn practical habits they can use straight away.
Event Demonstration Tools
Our tools are perfect for live demonstrations at local events and community groups. Seeing a digital threat live is eye-opening, and often the first time it feels real for attendees.
Scam Prevention Hardware
We build the hardware that safely simulates real scam scenarios, helping users build the instinct to recognise them. Seeing a fake link behave exactly like a real one changes habits fast.
Responsible by Design
Every product we build is designed for education, awareness, and authorised testing — full stop. Hex Recon operates fully within New Zealand's legal and regulatory framework, and we provide clear guidance with every device to make sure it's used safely and responsibly.
Our goal isn't to create fear. It's to replace fear with knowledge — so you can move through your digital life with confidence, not anxiety.
