About
A collection of open-source tools for ESP32 Marauder — from headless serial controllers and multi-firmware flashers to anti-forensic security layers and cross-device attack coordination. Everything is free, open source, and built to run standalone with no cloud dependency.
These tools cover the full lifecycle: flash any firmware to any board, control it headlessly from a desktop or terminal, layer on anti-forensic protections, and coordinate multiple devices in real time. Built for pentesters, security researchers, CTF competitors, and hardware hackers.
Headless Marauder
The all-in-one ESP32 Marauder controller and multi-firmware flasher. Four native UIs, suicide build support, security-hardened flashing, and standalone executables — no Python, no browser, no cloud.
All-in-One
Controller and multi-firmware flasher in a single app. Marauder, DIV, Bruce, or custom bins.
Suicide Build
Anti-forensic firmware with boot password, 2-fail wipe, and GPIO dead-man switch.
Security Hardened
HTTPS-only fetching, SHA256 verification, path-traversal and SSRF protection.
One-Click Exe
Standalone binaries with everything bundled. Download, run, plug in your board.
Suicide Marauder
An anti-forensic firmware provisioner for ESP32 Marauder — the first tool to combine boot password gating, automatic wipe on failed attempts, and a hardware dead-man switch using eFuse locks and flash encryption. A defensive, owner-only measure for protecting your own device.
Boot Password Gate
PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 password challenge before Marauder loads. Supports serial, touch, joystick, and button input.
2-Fail Wipe
Power-cycle-safe attempt counter persisted before responding. Two wrong passwords and flash, NVS, SD — everything wipes.
GPIO Dead-Man Switch
Hardware kill line tied to a GPIO pin. Tamper detection, panic button, or open-case trigger. Cut the wire and the board wipes.
eFuse + Flash Encryption
T2 tier burns Secure Boot v2 and flash encryption to eFuses. Permanent, hardware-enforced, can't be bypassed.
Universal Flasher
A multi-firmware flasher and device manager for ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Flipper Zero, and ADB-based security hardware. 14+ firmware profiles, 4 flash backends, batch flashing, firmware backup/restore, and a plugin system for community firmware.
Multi-Platform Flash
esptool for ESP32, SD image writer for Pi, qFlipper for Flipper Zero, ADB for Android-based hardware.
Batch Flash
Queue multiple boards and firmware profiles for sequential or parallel flashing in a single session.
Backup & Restore
Full firmware backup before flashing with one-click restore. Never lose a working setup.
Plugin System
Drop-in firmware profile support for community and custom firmware. Device auto-detect on plug-in.
Universal Flasher & UI
Unified successor to Headless Marauder GUI and Universal Flasher. Flash + device communication + cross-device coordination in one app. When one device discovers a target, it shares it with other connected devices for coordinated action.
Cross-Device Communication
Shared target pool and event bus. Device A finds an AP, Device B auto-targets it for PMKID sniffing.
Protocol Support
Marauder, GhostESP, Bruce, HaleHound, and Flipper Zero. Each protocol parsed natively.
Flash Everything
4 backends (esptool, SD image, ADB, qFlipper) and 14+ firmware profiles. Batch flash, backup, restore.
Live Serial UI
Per-firmware command interface with live data tables, target picker, and real-time serial output.
Security & Hardware Projects
19 cybersecurity and hardware hacking projects with step-by-step build guides, firmware references, and shopping lists. Flagship: a 14-device Pelican 1300 cyberdeck with dual-band WiFi, LoRa mesh, IMSI catcher detection, and network pentesting — all from one battery.
Pelican Cyberdeck
14-device portable security rig in an IP67 Pelican 1300 case. 12 toggle switches, 7 SMA antenna bulkheads.
ESP32 Marauder Builds
Multiple board configs and enclosures. CYD touchscreen, Gold headless, standalone portable units.
HaleHound Toolkit
Multi-protocol IoT attack station — WiFi, BLE, SubGHz (CC1101), 2.4GHz (NRF24), and NFC (PN532).
Pwnagotchi + Meshtastic
WiFi deauth AI on Pi Zero 2 W + LoRa mesh networking on Heltec V3. Autonomous + mesh capable.
Downloads
Standalone executables — no Python, no dependencies. Download, run, plug in your board.
