Will it work on Windows?
Yes, it runs on Windows
- You'll build it yourself with C/C++ compiler, CMake.
Supported devices from the README: Hardware
This project was mostly build and tested on ESP32-DEVKITC-32E but there should not be any differences for any ESP32-WROOM-32 modules.
<p align="center"> <img src="doc/images/soucastky_8b.png" alt="Hw components" width="400"> </p>On the following pictures you can see a battery (Li-Pol accumulator) powered ESP32 DevKitC using following hardware:
- ESP32-DEVKITC-32E (cost 213 CZK/8.2 EUR/9.6 USD)
- 220mAh Li-Pol 3.7V accumulator (weights ±5g, cost 77 CZK/3 EUR/3.5 USD)
- MCP1702-3302ET step-down 3.3V voltage regulator (cost 11 CZK/0.42 EUR/0.50 USD)
- Czech 5-koruna coin for scale (weights 4.8g, diameter 23 mm, cost 0.19 EUR/0.23 USD)
Altogether (without coin) this setup weights around 17g. This can be further downsized by using smaller Li-Pol accumulator and using ESP32-WROOM-32 modul directly instead of whole dev board.
This setup cost me around 300 CZK (± 11.50 EUR/13.50 USD). Using the modul directly that costs around 80 CZK (± 3 EUR/3.5 USD) we can get to price of 160 CZK (± 6.5 EUR/7.5 USD) which makes this tool really cheap and available to almost everybody.
Power consumption
Based on experimental measurements, ESP32 consumes around 100mA during attack executions.

Then run powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\setup.ps1. It stops at the first error and is safe to run again. Servers and tests aren't started; it lists them at the end. Read it first.
