## What it is
nRFBox is an open-source ESP32-based handheld tool that scans, analyzes, jams, and spoofs BLE, Wi-Fi, and 2.4GHz signals using an nRF24L01 module. It bundles features like a 2.4GHz scanner, BLE jamming/spoofing, and Wi-Fi deauthentication into a single firmware for security research.

## Use cases
- scan the 2.4GHz band for active devices and channels
- jam BLE devices for security testing
- spoof BLE advertisements
- deauthenticate Wi-Fi clients
- analyze nearby wireless signals
- build a portable wireless security testing device

## When to choose
- you want a low-cost DIY alternative to commercial wireless pentest gadgets like Flipper Zero
- you need BLE and 2.4GHz scanning, jamming, and spoofing in one ESP32 device
- you are doing hands-on wireless security research or demos

## When to avoid
- you need reliable, production-grade jamming or analysis accuracy
- you want a polished commercial product rather than a DIY hardware build
- jamming wireless signals is illegal in your jurisdiction or use context

## Facets
- artifact type: application
