Hi everyone 👋
We’re a small team of hardware tinkerers and embedded devs, and over the last months we’ve been building POOM — a pocket-sized, open-source multitool designed for wireless experimentation, security research, and playful hacking.
Hardware Specs:
ESP32-C5 (dual-core, Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5)
Multi-radio: 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax), BLE, Zigbee, Thread, Matter
NFC/HF-RFID (13.56MHz) for physical security testing
Built-in display for field operations
Wallet-sized form factor
Pentesting Capabilities:
PCAP/PCAPNG export → direct Wireshark integration
Deauth and connectivity resilience testing (authorized networks)
BLE advertiser simulation for beacon vulnerability assessment
Rogue AP detection (duplicate SSIDs, encryption mismatches, anomalous beacons)
Forensic logging with SHA-256 hashes and UTC timestamps
Evil Twin and Captive Portals
SDK & Tooling:
- Open-source
- FastAPI integration for webhook-based automation
- MQTT client for IoT network testing
- OTA firmware updates
- DFU over USB
- Embedded web server for wireless configuration
We been feature on articles from Hackster.io, highlight POOM in the context of the security and maker communities:
