## What it is
NEMO is a firmware for M5Stack ESP32 devices (M5StickC, Cardputer) that implements high-tech pranks and digital self-defense tools such as WiFi spam, Bluetooth pairing spam, TV-B-Gone IR shutdown, captive portals, and wireless attack detection. It is built with the Arduino IDE and runs directly on the device hardware.

## Use cases
- detect rogue wifi and bluetooth attacks nearby
- test unknown usb devices for badusb hid attacks
- spam funny wifi ssids as a prank
- clone a nearby wifi ssid into a captive portal
- turn off tvs in public with infrared
- learn esp32 development with arduino

## When to choose
- you own an M5StickC, M5StickC Plus, Cardputer, or compatible M5Stack ESP32 device
- you want a portable gadget for wifi/bluetooth/IR pranks and wireless attack awareness
- you want to learn ESP32 and Arduino development from a fun project

## When to avoid
- you need a serious, professional penetration-testing platform like a Flipper Zero or WiFi Pineapple
- you don't have compatible M5Stack hardware
- you need a general-purpose ESP32 firmware for non-security projects

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: security, embedded, networking, developer-tools
- domain: security, hardware, penetration-testing, embedded-systems
- platform: embedded, iot, cpp
- tags: esp32, m5stack, firmware, wifi, bluetooth, badusb, pranks, pentesting-toolkit, arduino
