In this project, we’ll build an automated network reconnaissance tool using the BUG ethical hacking device. This hands-on tutorial walks through how to configure and deploy payloads for Wi-Fi network scanning, device identification, and logging results to a MicroSD card—all with voice commands or wireless control.
Hardware Components:
- BUG (ESP32 or RP2040 Variant)
MicroSD Card (8GB+)
- MicroSD Card (8GB+)
LiPo Battery or USB power source
- LiPo Battery or USB power source
Computer (Windows/Linux/macOS)

Explain how to:
Install the required drivers for BUG
- Install the required drivers for BUG
Flash MicroPython (for RP2040/STM32) or use Arduino IDE (for ESP32)
- Flash MicroPython (for RP2040/STM32) or use Arduino IDE (for ESP32)
Connect and test voice command or Wi-Fi mode

# sample MicroPython snippet
import os
import machine
import network
def scan_networks():
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
networks = wlan.scan()
for ssid, *_ in networks:
print("SSID Found:", ssid.decode())
scan_networks()

def scan_networks():
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
networks = wlan.scan()
for ssid, *_ in networks:
print("SSID Found:", ssid.decode())
scan_networks()
Step 2: Add Voice Command Trigger (AI Control)Use offline speech recognition or link a Bluetooth controller for voice-triggered execution.
python
CopyEdit
# Pseudocode: On voice command, run reconnaissance
if voice_command == "scan networks":
scan_networks()
python
CopyEdit
# Pseudocode: On voice command, run reconnaissance
if voice_command == "scan networks":
scan_networks()
Step 3: Log Data to MicroSDpython
CopyEdit
with open('/sd/network_log.txt', 'w') as file:
for ssid in ssid_list:
file.write(ssid + '\n')
python
CopyEdit
with open('/sd/network_log.txt', 'w') as file:
for ssid in ssid_list:
file.write(ssid + '\n')
Bonus: Real-time Feedback with LED/OLEDUse GPIO to show progress or results:
Blink LED for active scanning
- Blink LED for active scanning
Display results count on OLED
