IT security EDC bag
IT security EDC bag
I've finally found a bag which nicely fits almost everything I want to carry every day, and alos makes everything easily accessible - it is about the same size as what I used to carry, but now I no longer need to dump everything out to find what I neede, even with some lose parts still in there.

Where's the hammer for percussive maintenance?
Seriously though, nice kit.
I probably can use the GDP Pocket 3 (partially visible on one picture) for that. That thing is surprisingly robust.
This is more of a phys pentest gobag, and I'm diggin it.
I have some larger and more specialized bags as well - but those are not EDC. Everything in that kit is USB-C (or at least has adapters for it), so worst case the complete bag is usable just with my phone.
Phone is a Unihertz Titan Slim with hw keyboard. Also have the Titan, great for the big screen, but for daily carry the slim is better.
Additionally I have a swiss army knife, flipper zero and another chameleon ultra in my pockets. I moved from a multitool to a knife with lots of stuff as I still can do most things, and have a higher chance of keeping it when I forget it on my belt at the airport yet again.
Oh nice! I haven't heard of Unihertz out the Titan Slim before today, and I was looking for a phone with a physical kb. I'll keep them in mind for next time. Are yet Android AOSP? Because I may get one for the penpack just to have some more tools.
The airport allows you to keep your knife? I lost a small SnapOn to airport security, because I forgot it was in my pocket.
Very cool! Can you elaborate on your job at all? Incident response?
Also curious what your computer equipment is in relation to the EDC. Laptops? OS?
We're doing pretty much everything a customer wants. Part of my stuff is for being able to get access to stuff to diagnose/repair it, part is for security consulting (or just for a quick unrelated demo as conversation starter, or to shorten discussions).
I typically carry a GDP pocket 3 with KVM module installed, running Linux.
Additionally I may carry one or several of
- Thinkpad x230, custom firmware, Linux
- Windows on an Arm64 notebook
- MacBook Air M1, MacOS
depending on what I expect to be doing. I also often have a boox epaper tablet for notetaking.
Mmmmm, gadgets.
There are literally no knives in this picture what a ripoff!!1!
Nice bag, whereβs it from?
Many years ago I've now and then searched for bags for throwing in all my electronics - but seems back then having that need wasn't mainstream enough. When I got frustrated recently and searched amazon again I noticed that nowadays there's a wide variety of bag designed for that purpose, with different levels of usefulness (plus the simple ones copied/rebranded a lot). So, I just ordered one of every somewhat sensible looking bag to figure out later what is useful for which purpose.
This particular bag is the Inateck AB03007-S, which turned out to be perfect for my daily stuff.
Looks great! Almost looks like it was made for the job.
Will copy some of your setup :)
@aard It sounds like you might appreciate the Incharge X and other cables by RollingSquare, it's USB-C or A to USB-C or MicroUSB or Lightning, up to 100w PD, data transfer and no magnetic tips
I just looked up what that is - not sure I see much value in that. Specs say maximum 480MBps data transfer speed - that's USB 2 speeds. For charging from a charger that is not your own you'd want data transfer blocked. For your own charger you probably already carry a longer cable anyway. With my set of adapters I get faster speeds, and am free to change cable lengths to whatever I need.
