BW16 Firmware Beta 5 GHz— Signal/Battery UI + PCAP Capture for Security Research
Published at : 18 Dec 2025
🚀 New BW16 Firmware (Beta) — Featuring improved UI with signal strength and battery indicators, plus the ability to capture management and EAPOL frames into a downloadable .pcap file. Ideal for security research and educational testing. #BW16 #yellowpurple #WiFiSecurity
🧪 Intended use: For research, education, and authorized testing only. Do not use on networks you do not own or have explicit permission to test.
⚠️ Requirements: SSD1306 display, 3 buttons, BW16 board (DO NOT use BW16E — 5 GHz is unreliable)
🗂 Credentials to download .pcap via browser:
SSID: 0x7359 Password: 0123456789
🛠 Developer TODO / Roadmap: signal strength indicator (in progress) web server to serve captured .pcap files battery level display module to save .pcap to SD card manage multiple .pcap files per session fix display bug after finishing sniffing attack all + sniff all (planned features) dual-frequency attack on network selection (future) improve UX/UI and refactor code add “evil twin” and captive portal functionality (research-only)
🔁 Workflow note: Captured frames are compiled to .pcap and can be converted to hc22000 via hcxpcapngtool for offline analysis with Hashcat.
