Ghost ESP is open-source ESP32 firmware (written in C on ESP-IDF) that turns 45+ ESP32 boards into a wireless security testing platform covering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, NFC/IR, SubGHz, and BadUSB attacks. It is controlled via an on-device LVGL UI, a web interface, a serial CLI, a Flipper Zero app, and companion apps, and supports PCAP capture, evil portals, Karma attacks, BLE spoofing, and wardriving.
Use cases
- pentest wifi networks with an esp32
- capture wpa handshakes and export hc22000 for cracking
- run an evil portal or karma attack
- scan and spoof ble devices and airtags
- read and emulate nfc cards with esp32
- wardrive and export to wigle
- flash esp32 firmware from the browser
When to choose
- you want a broad wireless pentest toolkit on cheap ESP32 hardware with 45+ supported boards
- you need Wi-Fi, BLE, NFC, IR, and BadUSB features in one firmware
- you want ESP-IDF-native firmware with LVGL UI, WebUI, CLI, and Flipper Zero integration
When to avoid
- you need a maintained project - the original GitHub repo is archived and declared dead by its author
- you only need simple Wi-Fi scanning without security testing features
- you require guaranteed legal compliance - many features (deauth, beacon spam, karma) are illegal to use on networks you don't own
