## About
### Description
MRS is a hardware-focused radio server that acts as the core of the system, providing the physical connectivity and reconnaissance capabilities. It is unified by the OpenCast media/control layer and the AI-Harness intelligence layer.
### Inspiration
This project was built for resiliency and offline capability, drawing from:
- [A.C.I.D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSrYmkGq9TM)
- [Offline internet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5RJZmuRJKA)
- [Meshtastic radios](https://morosx.com/ols/products/xtak-lora-mesh)
- [HaLow mesh network](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofR7GFNZzJY)
- [Signal Intelligence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nam87B2u6bo&t=1942s)
### Capabilities
**Networking**
* **Mesh:** 900 MHz HaLow / 2.4/5 GHz Mesh WiFi (B.A.T.M.A.N.)
* **Radio:** LoRa radio (Meshtastic node).
* **Connectivity:** Captive portal & device home page setup via OpenCast.
**Communication & Data**
* **Chat:** Offline federated chat (Synapse/Element)
* **Archive:** Offline knowledge base (Kiwix) and file hosting (AI-Harness).
* **Tracking:** GPS positioning & offline maps using gpsd, chrony.
**Recon & Security**
* **Tools:** Bettercap, nmap, aircrack, Metasploit, and SDRAngel for hardware and RF recon.
* **Media:** Control and casting interface provided by OpenCast.
## Manual
### Setup
**Production**
1. Run the core MRS services to establish the hardware/radio backbone.
2. OpenCast (port 3000) and AI-Harness (port 3001) are required to provide the media control and intelligence interface.
**Development**
1. Install dependencies: `npm install`
2. Start core services: `npm run dev`
