## What it is
A firmware for M5Stack/ESP32 devices that captures WPA2 EAPOL handshake and PMKID packets over WiFi and stores them on an SD card for later password-cracking analysis. It is a pwnagotchi-inspired packet monitor with channel hopping, deauth detection, and LED/display feedback.

## Use cases
- capture wpa2 handshake hashes on esp32
- store eapol and pmkid packets to sd card
- wifi pentesting handheld device
- pwnagotchi alternative on m5stack
- sniff wifi handshakes for hashcat cracking
- monitor deauth and handshake activity on wifi channels

## When to choose
- you own an M5Stack or ESP32 with SD card and want a portable WiFi handshake capture tool
- you want a pwnagotchi-like device without a Raspberry Pi
- you need EAPOL/PMKID captures for offline dictionary or brute-force attacks

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose WiFi scanner or network monitor without hash capture
- you require support for WPA3 or enterprise (non-PSK) handshakes
- you want an actively developed tool - the last release was in 2023
