## What is Espilon?
Espilon transforms affordable ESP32 microcontrollers (~$5) into powerful networked agents for:
- **Security research**: WiFi testing, network reconnaissance, IoT pentesting
- **Education**: Learning embedded systems, network protocols, FreeRTOS
- **IoT prototyping**: Distributed communication, monitoring, sensors
### Connectivity Modes
| Mode | Hardware | Range | Use Case |
|------|----------|-------|----------|
| **WiFi** | Standard ESP32 | 50-100m | Labs, buildings |
| **GPRS** | LilyGO T-Call | National (2G) | Mobile, remote |
---

```
### Key Components
- **Core**: Network connection, ChaCha20 crypto, nanoPB protocol
- **Modules**: Extensible system (Network, FakeAP, Recon, etc.)
- **C2 (C3PO)**: Python asyncio server for multi-agent control
- **Flasher**: Automated multi-device flashing tool
---
## Available Modules
> **Important note**: Modules are **mutually exclusive**. You must choose **only one module** during configuration via menuconfig.
### System Module (Built-in, always active)
Basic system commands:
- `system_reboot`: Reboot the ESP32
- `system_mem`: Display memory usage (heap free, heap min, internal free)
- `system_uptime`: Uptime since boot
### Network Module
Module for network reconnaissance and testing:
- `ping <host> [args...]`: ICMP connectivity test
- `arp_scan`: Discover hosts on local network via ARP
- `proxy_start <ip> <port>`: Start a TCP proxy
- `proxy_stop`: Stop the running proxy
- `dos_tcp <ip> <port> <count>`: TCP load test (authorized use only)
### FakeAP Module
Module for creating simulated WiFi access points:
- `fakeap_start <ssid> [open|wpa2] [password]`: Start a fake access point
- `fakeap_stop`: Stop the fake AP
- `fakeap_status`: Display status (AP, portal, sniffer, clients)
- `fakeap_clients`: List connected clients
- `fakeap_portal_start`: Enable captive portal
- `fakeap_portal_stop`: Disable captive portal
- `fakeap_sniffer_on`: Enable network traffic capture
- `fakeap_sniffer_off`: Disable capture
### Recon Module
Reconnaissance and data collection module. Two modes available:
#### Camera Mode (ESP32-CAM)
- `cam_start <ip> <port>`: Start UDP video streaming (~7 FPS, QQVGA)
- `cam_stop`: Stop streaming
#### BLE Trilateration Mode
- `trilat start <mac> <url> <bearer>`: Start BLE trilateration with HTTP POST
- `trilat stop`: Stop trilateration
---
**Configuration**: `idf.py menuconfig` -> Espilon Bot Configuration -> Modules
Choose **only one module**:
- `CONFIG_MODULE_NETWORK`: Enable the Network Module
- `CONFIG_MODULE_FAKEAP`: Enable the FakeAP Module
- `CONFIG_MODULE_RECON`: Enable the Recon Module
- Then choose: `Camera` or `BLE Trilateration`
---
## Tools
### Multi-Device Flasher
Automated flasher to configure multiple ESP32s:
```bash
cd tools/flasher
python3 flash.py --config devices.json
```
**devices.json**:
```json
{
"project": "/path/to/espilon_bot",
"devices": [
{
"device_id": "esp001",
"port": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
"network_mode": "wifi",
"wifi_ssid": "MyNetwork",
"wifi_pass": "MyPassword",
"srv_ip": "192.168.1.100"
}
]
}
```
See [tools/flasher/README.md](tools/flasher/README.md) for complete documentation.
### C2 Server (C3PO)
Command & Control server:
```bash
cd tools/c2
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 c3po.py --port 2626
```
**Commands**:
- `list`: List connected agents
- `select <id>`: Select an agent
- `cmd <command>`: Execute a command
- `group`: Manage agent groups
---
## Security
### Encryption
- **ChaCha20** for C2 communications
- **Configurable keys** via menuconfig
- **Protocol Buffers (nanoPB)** for serialization
**CHANGE DEFAULT KEYS** for production use:
```bash
# Generate random keys
openssl rand -hex 32 # ChaCha20 key (32 bytes)
openssl rand -hex 12 # Nonce (12 bytes)
```
### Responsible Use
Espilon should only be used for:
- **Authorized** penetration testing
- **Ethical** security research
- Education and training
- Legitimate IoT prototyping
**Prohibited**: Unauthorized access, malicious attacks, privacy violations.
