Bruce is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) ESP32 firmware packed with offensive-security and Red Team tools such as WiFi attacks, Evil Portal, wardriving, Sub-GHz/RF, NFC/RFID, IR, and BadUSB. It runs on M5Stack, LILYGO, Elecrow, and custom ESP32-based boards like the Cardputer, Sticks, and the official RF REAPER devkit.

Use cases

• flash offensive security firmware onto an ESP32 or M5Stack Cardputer
• run WiFi deauth and beacon spam attacks for red team engagements
• capture and replay Sub-GHz RF and NFC/RFID signals
• do wardriving and WiFi network discovery with GPS
• set up an evil portal captive page for phishing assessments
• use a cheap Flipper Zero alternative for pentesting on the go
• send BadUSB payloads from a portable device
• capture EAPOL handshakes for WiFi auditing

When to choose

• you want an open-source, community-driven alternative to Flipper Zero on affordable ESP32 hardware
• you need a portable multi-tool for WiFi, RF, NFC, IR, and BadUSB testing
• you own M5Stack, LILYGO, or compatible ESP32-S3 devices and want red team tooling
• you want regular releases, a web flasher, and active community support

When to avoid

• you need a legally safe tool for networks you do not own or have authorization to test
• you want a polished consumer product rather than hacker firmware
• your board is not ESP32-based or is not in the supported device list
• you need enterprise-grade reporting or compliance features from a pentest platform
