## What it is
A collection of device discovery and research tools for the MouseJack vulnerabilities affecting wireless mice and keyboards using nRF24LU1+ based dongles. It includes custom research firmware for CrazyRadio PA, SparkFun breakout boards, and Logitech Unifying dongles, plus Python scripts for scanning and exploiting vulnerable devices.

## Use cases
- discover vulnerable wireless mice and keyboards nearby
- flash custom research firmware onto a CrazyRadio PA dongle
- test wireless peripherals for MouseJack injection vulnerabilities
- restore a Logitech Unifying dongle to its original firmware
- sniff and replay RF traffic from wireless keyboards
- recover a bricked nRF24LU1+ dongle by flashing over SPI with a Teensy

## When to choose
- you are auditing wireless mice and keyboards for MouseJack-class vulnerabilities
- you need research firmware and scanning tools for nRF24LU1+ based USB dongles
- you want to demonstrate keystroke injection or RF replay attacks on vulnerable peripherals

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose penetration testing toolkit rather than RF peripheral research
- your dongles are not nRF24LU1+ based (e.g., Texas Instruments Logitech variants)
- you need actively maintained tooling with recent updates and support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools, cli
- domain: security, hardware, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli
- tags: mousejack, nrf24lu1p, rf-hacking, wireless-security, firmware-flashing, logitech-unifying, research-tools, linux
