HISTORY OF EVOLUTION

15 years of the technological race: from DIY soldering to the smartphone

My goal is for everyone who comes to me to realize one simple thing: no one, except me and the team I’ve assembled, is engaged in real technological development for you.

This text is not a marketing brochure. It is a documentary record of the path traveled from the times when EAS gates were "dumb" and the methods to bypass them were primitive. I want you to understand what you are working with and why professional hardware cannot be a "magic wand."

In a world where security systems update faster than consumer electronics, staying in the shadows and on the bleeding edge of progress for over fifteen years is more than just a mark of stability. It is the result of deep engineering evolution and personal necessity.

The primary conflict in our industry today is the collision of professional tools with the infantile myth of the "one-button solution." The market is flooded with "air-sellers" who exploit the human desire to get everything instantly. They offer "2-in-1" devices with the logic: flip a switch, and everything around you dies. They claim there is no difference between AM and RF systems, and that primitive white noise is enough to trick the modern computer inside the gates.

This is a fundamental delusion.

There is no universal skeleton key for all locks. You wouldn't try to pour diesel into a gasoline engine just because it’s "also fuel," would you? In the same way, you cannot jam modern digital systems with adaptive filtering using old-school noise generators. To understand why we arrived at complex algorithms and specialized modes, we must look back—to where it all began.

The Birth of Legends

Information about the very first jammers surfaced around 2005–2007. An electronics hobbyist created an elementary noise generator on the same frequency that the gates analyze (58 kHz). The internet wasn't yet saturated with specialized forums on our subject, and the creator’s name remains lost to legend.

Years later, thanks to connections with hundreds of operators across the globe, one of those original jammers ended up in my hands.

It was a simple black box powered by a 9V "PP3" battery, utilizing the crudest solutions—no optimized antenna, no complex components. Very weak, but likely effective against the very first, still analog AM systems.

Around 2008–2009, Intel surfaced regarding a similar device from Poland. Same weak generator, but with an external toggle switch. It was claimed to handle both AM and RF simultaneously. But upon holding the device, it became clear: the RF power was non-existent. People tried to work with it but constantly complained about the lack of power and the fact that many gates simply responded with an alarm.

A few years later, a developer from Bulgaria went public. As he told me in Skype conversations, he was a former employee of an EAS security company who decided to turn his professional knowledge into a hobby after retirement.

In my view, his was the only device worthy of attention in those years. It had enough power for 58 kHz, and the 8.2 MHz range was pulled off via an external antenna. But flawed algorithms, poor optimization, battery drain, and—most importantly—the external appearance made it far from ideal for a professional.

I’m not saying it was impossible to work with. I bought one myself for 1100 EUR in 2010. It paid for itself, yes. But the constant issues were unacceptable.

The fear was paralyzing: if you were stopped and they found *this*, the sheer look of the device (buttons, toggles, wires) would trigger massive red flags. In 2012, I decided to get rid of it.

During this same period (2010–2012), dozens of DIY devices passed through my hands. People sent me this trash for exchange, knowing I was hunting for Intel. These boxes were made strictly for a quick buck: minimal power, primitive soldering—total garbage that was dangerous to take into the field.

In 2011, on a forum where I was selling my own equipment (detachers and shielding fabric), a character named Danko appeared. He started selling a basic AM jammer for $200.

Finding a developer I could finally communicate with properly, I supported him. I helped with sales and tested new ideas in the field (at the time, I was actively operating in stores and was the perfect tester). This was his best device from that period—a DIY unit mounted inside a standard cigarette pack:

But a year passed with no progress. I grew disillusioned and soon learned the truth: Danko wasn't a developer at all. He simply obtained a schematic from a Belarusian guy who made automotive code-grabbers. Danko understood absolutely nothing about our niche.

The Point of No Return: The Exile

Through my clients, I learned of another developer from Yaroslavl. I reached out and bought his device—it was marketed as a "2-in-1" for AM and EM (electromagnetic) gates.

The result? It jammed EM gates horribly and dangerously, AM was passable, but the weak battery lasted almost no time. I applied some basic engineering knowledge, re-soldered the power supply for high-capacity batteries, boosted the circuit, tested it, realized I didn't need it, and sold it on the same forum.

When Danko found out, he went berserk. Sensing a threat and seeing me as a competitor, he publicly accused me of stealing his "technologies" and orchestrated a massive smear campaign. The result—I was banned and exiled forever.

THIS WAS THE TURNING POINT

If I hadn't been exiled then, I probably would have kept waiting for a "miracle inventor." But my contacts were severed, my storefront destroyed, and 20 pages of perfect reviews erased. I needed jammers for myself, for my friends, and the word-of-mouth demand hadn't gone anywhere. I couldn't send people to someone who betrayed me. I realized: I have to do this myself.

Birth of Technologies and Masking Evolution (2012–2014)

I launched my own site—no forum, just a product list—and focused entirely on creating a device that had to be superior to everything in existence.

For weeks, I consolidated my knowledge, contacted people from the technical university where I studied, and spoke with my former academic advisor. Persuading these people to work in our "specific" field wasn't easy, but I succeeded.

Two months later, I supplied my crew with high-quality hardware. It was an AM jammer for $300 that outperformed the Bulgarian unit priced at 1100 EUR. RF systems didn't bother me much back then, as our shielding fabric already solved most radio-frequency problems.

By the end of 2012, it was clear: a device's efficacy is useless if its appearance screams "I AM A THIEF!" The era of boxes with toggles was over; the industry demanded invisibility.

We began selling devices camouflaged in various consumer housings:

  • Flashlights.
  • Blood pressure monitors (Tonometers).
  • External hard drives (an absolute hit in the EU and US).
  • Dog chasers (a hit in Russia).

For my personal use, I made chassis-less builds. Wrapped in electrical tape or leather, they were ultra-compact. I didn't care what it looked like as long as it stayed in a secret pocket and kept me safe.

Meanwhile, the gates were getting smarter...

Early analog gates were so vulnerable that our jammers could make them freeze, enter a reboot cycle, or break entirely. A technician had to be called. This drew unwanted attention.

Manufacturers (Sensormatic, CrossPoint) transitioned to Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Gates stopped being simple antennas—they became computers. They learned to filter out basic "white noise." The era of "dumb" jammers ended. we began seeking new algorithms—not just to create noise, but to introduce mathematically calculated errors into the gate's logic.

Forum Scammers and the Illusion of Packaging

While we fought to develop new algorithms, the internet bloomed with what I call "business for suckers."

A seller named Medved (Bear) appeared on one of the forums. He rolled out "incredible" AM and RF jammers. In reality, they were Danko’s ancient technologies (from the Belarusian) stuffed into new black plastic boxes with a switch.

The tech was garbage. But Medved monopolized the forum thread: he made grand promises, filmed ridiculous home videos using the most basic gates, and mercilessly deleted negative reviews. People bought the junk.

A few years later, he stole my PowerBank camouflage idea. But since he wasn't an engineer, he couldn't create a functional control system (mode switching). Eventually, he sold his "tech" to another dealer—shoplifter001.

The Secret of Chinese Garbage

The new seller (shoplifter001) promised miracles again. He copied our vibration feedback, but the circuitry remained pathetic. You want to know the ultimate cringe? In his RF jammers, instead of a proper transmitting antenna, he used a standard RF tag from a store! That tag is physically designed only for receiving resonance, not generating a powerful field. Zero progress.

In March 2020, this business ended in a predictable exit-scam: shoplifter001 took 1000 EUR from a client and vanished. The site Testjammers in Europe did roughly the same: sold Chinese fakes for $180 where a tiny AM antenna produced a micro-signal, and the RF range was non-existent.

What unites these sellers? They are not practitioners. They’ve never sweated at the exit of a store. To them, we are just wallets on legs.

The Illusion of the iPhone 4 (2014)

Amidst this obscurantism, a small miracle occurred in 2014. The guy from Yaroslavl returned. He made something visually stunning—an AM jammer completely camouflaged inside an iPhone 4 chassis.

It was a breath of fresh air; I acquired one. Visually—it was a masterpiece. Practically—it was a tragedy. You can't cheat the laws of physics with pretty plastic. The power was negligible due to the tiny antenna, and of the 7 built-in modes, almost all were useless. The developer vanished again (he turned out to be a high-level IT engineer doing it purely for kicks). The iPhone sits in my museum as a monument to good design and bad physics.

Engineering Breakthrough and the Era of Algorithms (2015–2019)

What did we achieve in these years? By 2015, all my devices featured perfect camouflage, becoming compact and stable. I didn't sell RF jammers publicly yet: their reliability didn't meet my standards, and they only went to a tight circle of verified associates with detailed protocols.

In 2016, we transitioned to new processor types and implemented a smart control system. We invented the locking system and vibration feedback (to avoid suspicious LEDs). From that point, all our devices were released exclusively in PowerBank camouflage.

That same year, we made a strategic decision: re-invent jamming methods and circuitry every single year. No resting on old achievements; we rewrite the code based on new Intel.

Proprietary CNC: Speed vs. Mass Production

To accelerate development, we mastered CNC technology and assembled our own high-precision machine for manufacturing PCBs.

"Experts" often ask me: "Why don't you order PCBs in batches of thousands from Chinese factories? It's cheaper!"

The answer: Mass factory production is poison for our niche. If you order 1000 boards, you become a prisoner of old technology until you sell them all. Our proprietary CNC allows us to change board architecture on the fly. If we have an idea tomorrow, we have a prototype and a verified hypothesis by the day after. You always receive the latest tech, not warehouse leftovers from two years ago.

This machine, built by our hands with revenue from sales, gave us incredible room for experimentation.

Antenna Physics: Why we abandoned Ferrite

We gained fundamental knowledge by meticulously studying antenna behavior at required frequencies. Today, we know more about emitter physics than many engineers at EAS security firms.

Our emitters are conceptually different from the junk sold by "competitors." Chinese sellers and DIY amateurs use ferrite rod antennas for AM jammers. The problem with ferrite is that it creates an uneven, "fragmented" field. We moved to complex loop antenna winding technology, which produces a dense and uniform field of deception.

Regarding RF systems: during development, we realized that modern RF gate designers began using tag detection logic very similar to AM technology. This realization was a breakthrough. In 2018, we released an RF jammer I was genuinely proud of. A year later, we integrated everything into a "2-in-1" device that surpassed my 2015 dreams.

Digital War: The Zoo of New Technologies

As we developed hardware, manufacturers (Sensormatic, CrossPoint, Nedap, Gateway) weren't idle. Cheaper electronics allowed them to integrate powerful DSP processors into the gates.

Gates learned to analyze signals. Primitive "white noise" was dead. A zoo of technologies emerged, with each brand defending differently:

  1. Sensormatic Synergy: Learned to dynamically change analysis algorithms in real-time. Old jammers caused them to either freeze or trigger a specific alarm (Anti-Jammer).
  2. CrossPoint (Netherlands): Implemented digital adaptation. Detecting interference, the gates don't "go blind"—they recalibrate, subtracting the jammer's noise from the environment.
  3. Nedap (RF): Learned to distinguish the signal of a real tag from a jammer based on waveform.
THE EMERGENCE OF MODES

It is impossible to create a single signal that fools all manufacturers simultaneously. This is why a professional device transformed from a noise generator into a complex computer with a set of "digital lockpicks."

  • Mode 1: Classic algorithm, but with our proprietary refinements.
  • Mode 4: A specific key to bypass CrossPoint filters.
  • Mode 7: A digital screwdriver for Sensormatic Synergy.

What were my "competitors" doing? Nothing. No one defeated CROSSPOINT. No one handled Synergy tech. The Bulgarian sold his tech to Germans, who sold it to Croatians (easblocker.com). The Croatians hid the external antenna inside, effectively killing the range, and they still sell that outdated toggle-switch trash that any security guard recognizes. The Poles make fakes in PowerBank shells with power turned down to zero for pretty Instagram videos.

Redefining the Game (2024–...):

By 2023, we hit the ceiling. The technologies we developed became too complex for a single button. When your arsenal includes dozens of algorithms for various situations, "blind" control becomes a limitation rather than an advantage.

The industry needed a new standard. And as always, we had to create it.

In 2014, we were the first to hide electronics in a PowerBank chassis. A few years later, everyone followed suit—from DIY amateurs to Chinese factories. They copied the form because it became the norm.

In 2024–2025, we took the next step that will redefine the market for the next decade. We removed physical controls and migrated everything to a smartphone interface. This isn't just a "remote on a screen." It is a paradigm shift.

Remember this moment. In a year or two, you’ll see our "competitors" start slapping together their own poorly optimized apps and web interfaces. They will try to replicate us again, selling you a pretty picture on a phone screen. They will copy the menu, the buttons, but they will never copy what stands behind that interface.

Why We Remain Peerless

The transition to digital gave us something fly-by-night sellers will never have: speed of reaction. Previously, updating a device to counter new defense required shipping hardware across borders. Now, the device is a living organism.

We implemented the "Engineering Menu" and open architecture not for show, but because we listen. We are the only ones on the market who haven't walled themselves off from users behind a "support ticket" system. We live at your pace. When an operator from across the world messages us: “Guys, there’s a new gate here, your modes aren't working,” we don't ignore them. We work with them through that very menu to pick the lock. And once the solution is found, it becomes available to everyone.

Capital Doesn't Divide Us

The secret to our longevity (15 years is an eternity in this game) isn't in the transistors or the code. The secret is that we didn't lose ourselves in self-importance. We haven't turned into a faceless corporation just collecting checks.

The ideas you provide, your Intel, your field successes and failures—this is the fuel for our progress. We remain proactive enthusiasts determined to make this tool perfect. The money we earn is simply a resource that allows us to buy new CNC machines, test new hypotheses, and remain online 24/7.

Competitors will come and go. They will copy our shells, steal our texts, and try to fake our interfaces. But they will never fake the connection that exists between us and our community.

The history of jammers isn't a history of "hardware." It’s the history of people who refused to accept limits and decided to dictate their own terms to reality. We keep working. We keep hunting. And we are always online.
