Security & Hardware Projects
A growing collection of cybersecurity research and hardware hacking projects. Each one comes with a deep-dive build guide covering hardware selection, firmware setup, and operational use.
Overview
This repo is a structured knowledge base covering wireless security, RF analysis, hardware hacking, and OSINT. Each project directory contains a comprehensive guide that walks through everything from sourcing parts and flashing firmware to running operations and interpreting output.
Several builds are fully completed and operational. Others are in active research or waiting on hardware. The repo also includes a full hardware inventory tracking every piece of gear across all projects.
Completed Builds
ESP32 Marauder
Fully operational ESP32 Marauder on both CYD (Cheap Yellow Display) and headless configurations. WiFi scanning, deauth, beacon spam, evil portal, BLE operations, and PMKID capture. Paired with the Headless Marauder GUI for desktop control.
Pwnagotchi
Raspberry Pi-based WiFi auditing device with an e-ink display. Captures WPA handshakes passively using bettercap and AI-driven channel hopping. Custom plugins and personality configuration.
Meshtastic LoRa Node
Long-range mesh networking node using LoRa radio. Off-grid text messaging, GPS positioning, and telemetry. Part of a broader mesh network research effort.
All Projects
Flipper Zero
Multi-tool for pentesters. Sub-GHz, RFID, NFC, infrared, and GPIO interface. Custom firmware and module development.
SDR Research
Software-defined radio with RTL-SDR and HackRF One. Signal analysis, spectrum monitoring, and RF protocol decoding.
Drone Detection
Passive drone detection using WiFi probe analysis and RF signature identification. ESP32-based sensor arrays.
Counter-Surveillance
