A suite of WiFi and Bluetooth offensive and defensive security tools for the ESP32 microcontroller.
ESP32 Marauder is a firmware suite that turns ESP32 microcontrollers into wireless security testing devices. It provides offensive and defensive tools for WiFi and Bluetooth networks, allowing security professionals to perform reconnaissance, capture packets, execute deauthentication attacks, and test various wireless vulnerabilities using affordable hardware.
Penetration testers, security researchers, red team members, and hobbyists interested in wireless security testing who want to use embedded hardware for practical security assessments.
Developers choose ESP32 Marauder because it transforms inexpensive ESP32 boards into powerful, portable security tools with comprehensive wireless attack capabilities that are typically found in more expensive commercial devices, while being fully open-source and customizable.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Integrates WiFi and Bluetooth scanning, deauthentication attacks, and packet capture, enabling a wide range of security tests from a single device as highlighted in the key features.
Leverages affordable ESP32 hardware, making advanced wireless penetration testing accessible without expensive commercial equipment, aligning with the philosophy of affordability.
Supports custom scripting for automation and advanced scenarios, allowing users to tailor attacks to specific needs, as mentioned in the custom scripting feature.
With active badges for Gitter and social media, the project has ongoing updates and community support for troubleshooting, indicated by the shields and links in the README.
ESP32's processing power and memory may restrict the scale and speed of attacks compared to dedicated hardware, limiting performance in high-demand scenarios.
Requires knowledge of ESP32 flashing, wireless security concepts, and command-line interfaces, with documentation spread across a wiki rather than integrated guides.
Lacks built-in safeguards or disclaimers for responsible use, potentially leading to misuse in unauthorized testing environments without clear guidance.
