"Knack" Restraining bolt

The "Knack" restraining bolt was a covert device produced by the infamous Brennkeyes Syndicate, known for its high-quality yet illegal technology. It looked like a standard restraining bolt but could be secretly preprogrammed to issue hidden orders to a droid, either at specific times or under certain conditions. These commands ranged from harmless overrides to dangerous actions, such as redirecting a droid to a pirate base. The bolt's programming was only detectable via a datapad and remained hidden from those who inspected the droid's usual software.
