Hackbat is an open-source handheld pen-testing device built around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller, featuring a sub-1 GHz RF transceiver (CC1101), NFC (PN532), WiFi (ESP8266), an OLED display, and USB keyboard emulation. The repository contains the hardware design files, schematics, and documentation for building and experimenting with the device.

Use cases

• experiment with RF radio signal capture and replay at 315/433/868/915 MHz
• read and emulate NFC cards at 13.56 MHz
• test WiFi networks by connecting or creating access points
• perform USB HID keyboard emulation for pen-testing
• build a portable multi-tool for hacking and maker projects
• learn embedded security testing techniques

When to choose

• you want a portable open-source hardware gadget for radio, NFC, and WiFi pen-testing experiments
• you are a maker who wants schematics and docs to build your own RP2040-based hacking device
• you need a Flipper Zero-like open alternative with sub-GHz RF, NFC, and WiFi

When to avoid

• you need a ready-made polished consumer product rather than a build-it-yourself board
• you only need software pen-testing tools without custom hardware
• you require advanced capabilities like Bluetooth, UHF RFID, or Infrared not covered by this design
