Glad you like it! Also, totally agree with your UI comment…

I mean, you can always go deeper… Imagine using aircrack commands. Write your own framework and tools. That’s how you sound. Marauder is using open source tools that were written for the ESP32 platform and executes them from an OPTIONAL UI. If this is a “bunch of scripts” it’s the same thing as using aircrack commands. That too is just a bunch of scripts in the end. Introduce people into the world and the more they’re interested, the more they’ll seek out. No one claims this is the best tool, but it is effective. These devices are the most searched in this space whether you like it or not. So we will continue to make videos for beginners and people that want to build these devices.

​@@Hedge-Tech-95 Aircrack is a framework already. With an "optional UI" nontheless. I'm not trying to stop you from making videos, lol. Im just warning users that this right here, building a customized device on a very restricted and at the same time very bloated platform that fits very poorly into the whole wireless world (first of all, hardware-wise), AND also using yet another layer of abstraction which effectively is this "optional UI", is a very bad idea. Now, the whole idea behind yet another layer is to encapsulate a lot of boring stuff. Sure, sometimes it works. But not in case of wifi and not in current state underlaying tools/frameworks are in. There are too many nuances to the whole sniffing/capturing thing that can't be addressed in any automated way (at least outside "real linux" environment). So, again, my advice would be to get a decent wifi-oriented device with a proper wifi-chipset on board and "normal" limux for embeds which supports the essential set of tools (at least aircrack-ng and hcxdumptool). Everything else would be a waste, especially if it requires so much hustle. You'll find out I'm right the moment you finally make it to hashcat 🤭

lol kinda yeah

Hello! I don’t provide the gerbers yet as I’m waiting on version 1.3 PCBs to come in for testing. But I do sell just the PCB and cable in the link in the description.

Tindie borked all the links but I updated it already. Should be biscuitshop.us/products/esp32-marauder-battery-mod-kit

Whoops you must not be from USA. Just updated the settings to allow international orders. Sorry prices will be more than US because shipping internationally is crazy. Should work now though

Did you get the case with it and the module I recommend? You can put the ceramic antenna above the battery and there is a small area on top of the stylus for the GPS PCB :)

@@Hedge-Tech-95 I did get the case and I was wondering what the area was on top of the stylus. I ordered the smaller GPS module and a battery with the PH 2.0 connector since the board is ver. 1.0? Bummed since I have some batteries with the 1.25mm connector

You’re not the first to say this. I too had 1.25 for Lora devices. But 2.0 is actually a more common connector. In the latest versions I’m releasing, I changed to the 1.25 connector though because I keep hearing this same comment. Sorry about that! Yeah that square area will fit the gps PCB :)

@@Hedge-Tech-95 Yeah no worries, I have the larger GY-NEO6MV2 GPS module so I got the smaller GPS and battery with 2.0 to make it all fit

@blackpaw369 Nice! Keep an eye out for my next iteration of the board 👀 it will have GPS built in AND a battery fuel IC that will display the battery level at the top of the marauder status bar / on screen. Will be a bit more expensive but it should cut down on all the shopping for separate GPS modules ect. Thanks for the support!

It’s fine! If you don’t trust the devs website you can always review and compile from source

There isn’t anything you should need to change in the config. I would re-image the SD, make sure you add the config file before ever booting with the SD card

Hi! Marauder is a firmware that contains a suite of offensive/defensive WiFi and Bluetooth tools for the ESP32 This is a hardware build for that firmware!

@@Hedge-Tech-95 🙏

@ENDOGGI I don’t cover that in the video but you can do it! github.com/Fr4nkFletcher/ESP32-Marauder-Cheap-Yellow-Display/blob/master/AntennaMod.md

Yes, you need to connect to the portal and there is a URL path with an index file that contains the captured credentials. I forget the path, but their discord is a good resource!

Thanks a ton! Dropping off all the tindie orders right now. I’ve made a handful now with GPS but with the ceramic antenna. You might be able to drill a hole or something to get the external antenna going. Maybe I should make a case that supports external though 🤔 if you have a 3D printer i could send you a model to test if you’re game.

@@Hedge-Tech-95I don’t have a printer but I could have Micro Center print one up for me.

Oh perfect! I think you should be able to drill a hole at the top. I bet there’s enough space. Worst case reach out and we’ll figure something out.

@@Hedge-Tech-95 awesome thank you very much. I’ll let you know. Have a good one.

It will but open my config.toml in notepad and change the display option to from 3 to 2

This device doesn’t have any sub ghz or RFID capabilities. It’s strictly WiFi and Bluetooth. Similar to the WiFi dev board for the flipper though

​@@Hedge-Tech-95okay thanks.

@@uther10 Thanks 🙏

10?

Thanks! I've been learning more about making videos. We will keep improving 💪

I totally agree and prefer marauder. Still, I think Ghost ESP has some nice features for a headless setup. Like the Web-UI! If they are able to develop that further and expose all the functionality to the web-ui it would be a really compelling option. A firmware to definitely keep an eye on

@@Hedge-Tech-95 The UI is disastrous, half the screen you scroll, the other you tap and it's so confusing that I can't use it. I hope tht they can fix it in some way.

Thanks! Have fun

Correct! Simply use a USB cable and it will power the display. There’s also a case that you can download in the description that I made for that exact setup. Download and print that one if you like it

Absolutely! Towards the end of the video I show one without an internal battery. I uploaded the case model for that too and you can find the download in the description. You can power it via USB

Oh, sorry I didn't realise it was right at the end! So what's the point of everyone doing the soldering nonsense with other components if they can just do this? For the GPS or is there other functionality they're getting? Like better customisation?

If you’re referring to other videos, I think I’m the only one that made a PCB focused on adding a battery to the CYD. I made it with the intention to avoid the need to solder. I get anxiety soldering battery leads lol. If you’re referring to the GPS, you can’t avoid soldering that because you buy the modules without a wire, you must solder wires to it to connect to my board (or anything for that matter) Adding GPS adds the ability to war drive with the device!

@@Hedge-Tech-95 ah okay, so in most video when they talk about soldering, they'll mainly be adding a GPS? What extra functionality does that add and can you use the WiFi and Bluetooth functions without it?

Most add a battery too. You can avoid that with a custom PCB though which was my main objective with this build. I think that’s where the most value is because I feel like most people want it to be a stand alone device but soldering a battery turns off a lot of people. All the other features stay the same with GPS, it really only adds the ability to wardrive when you add the GPS. It’s definitely a nice to have, but not necessary for the other 95% of features

On tindie! Link in the description. There’s two options, one with the case and screws, and one option is just the PCB and cable.

If you check the Tindie link in the video description there’s a drawn schematic in the listing photos. You don’t even need to use my board, the schematic works for the pins on the bottom of the CYD too.

@ yea but I just want to maximize the space I have so the gps and battery mod can be on the same and what would be the best gps that would work with your board?

ATGM336H is the one I recommend. In the 3D model I uploaded to maker world, it has the proper locations for the antenna and PCB as well as battery and charging circuit. A couple people have built it so far with this GPS and it’s been pretty well received!

You just use username: rpi password: raspberry Shouldn’t need to do any custom os settings as that’s all baked into the image and config.toml file I provided :)

@@Hedge-Tech-95 I get the same message Please note that SSH may not work until a valid user has been set up. I used rpi as username and raspberry as pw. I am on a windows 11 machine and tried putty as well as powershell. I reimaged SD card via RPI and balenaEtcher on two different RPI 2 W. I can switch my HDMI input on my monitor and the pi has the blue config new user screen. So strange.

That is insanely odd, I just made one yesterday using the same steps. You’re using the latest jayofelony image 2.9.3_2?

Which PCB? The ESP32 or the charging circuit?

@@Hedge-Tech-95 If you can send me both I would be happy and by the way, do you have Discord?

@@Hedge-Tech-95the charging circuit i think

Gotcha, the link is in the description for it. I had them custom made so you won’t find them anywhere else. The reason I made them is because something didn’t already exist :/ Does the Tindie link not work for you?

@@Shauarma I don’t have a discord channel but maybe I should make one! You can dm me though _hedge

There is additional IO but I don’t know if the available IO is sufficient to add those devices. On the back of the device there are two more expansion ports, but in total 5 IO We would also be using up the TX/RX for GPS so if one of those modules used serial we’d have to pick one. It’s an interesting idea though that’s worth looking into

Thanks for the kind words! Really glad you like it

Yes! I’d go with the Pi Sugar 3

A laptop will always be more powerful than something like this. The advantage with this is that you can fit a full Linux machine in your pocket. Try doing that with a laptop ;)

I get it fits in your pocket but it’s not practical. Looks like something you’d see in a Hollywood movie or video game. Where would you need to bring this that you couldn’t bring your laptop?

I think a lot of people, including myself have been waiting for a phone-like form factor portable computer. These are hugely in demand too. The device is getting a CM5 version pretty soon giving it a large jump in performance. It may not be powerful now but give these time. At that point it starts becoming a lot more practical. It’s discrete, super portable, and ridiculously cool. Comments all seem to agree.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s very cool. If you have an android now tho you can already have Linux on your phone

I wish they would release their gerbers and bom but they will not. You need to buy it from them. Apparently there are some components that you cannot get assembly services for which requires manual soldering.

Definitely great for wardriving once you add that GPS module! RIP your tax return 💀

A lot of my neighbors have a silly SSID goin on 😆

Great question, tested and compatible with Teyleten Robot ATGM336H NEO-6M, case was designed to fit that module. But should also be compatible with DWEII GY-NEO6MV2 with a revised case

@@Hedge-Tech-95Ty for the response definitely grabbing one

@ in the process of buying this module. What cables do I need if I wanted to connect both a battery and a gps module. Cable for battery and module then to cyd and how does the module attach to the cyd?

For the module I include the cable for the PCB to the CYD (female to female 1.25 JST 4p) For the GPS you need a 1.25 JST 4P Female to flying leads for soldering. You can get the same wire as the one I provide but cut off one end for soldering to the GPS module. Battery you should just buy the battery I list since it comes with the connector and wire already attached (connector is a PH2.0 for the battery though so if you wanted to do something custom) Hopefully that helps

@@WitherDimensions The CYD comes with the cable you'll need for the GPS too so you shouldn't need to buy any cable.

Thanks for the kind words! Im glad its easy to digest

@@ho0t0w1 Restock on December 14th 8:00AM PST Hope you get one!

​@@Hedge-Tech-95when next?

Sometime early January, join their discord and subscribe to the restock channel to get notifications. They go quick. They are coming out with a 4b version and a CM5 soon too

@Hedge-Tech-95 Thank You.

I was actually unaware of this! If that is the case, i will update the link ASAP. Thanks for the tip! This would also make it more accessible to people internationally since shipping is the biggest cost.

🤗

@@showxating9885 Thanks for the support 🙏

No just change the name at the top

If you’re on the SSH step, just connect to 10.0.0.2. The displayed text overlay is your computer network adapter settings for the RNDIS Gadget

@@Hedge-Tech-95 when i try to do that it says "10.0.0.2" port "22" ⚙ Starting address resolution of "10.0.0.2" ⚙ Address resolution finished ⚙ Connecting to "10.0.0.2" port "22" 😨 Connection failed: connection timed out. No more addresses to try.
