Our team recently got our hands on a few ESP microcontrollers, the ESP32-C5 early. This microcontroller shares similar hardware features to most of the other ESP32 line up, single core RISC-V processor, 240 MHz, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. However the ESP32-C5 brings new Wi-Fi features including support for Wi-Fi 6 and 5ghz channels.
This allows the ESP32-C5 to have a much wider view of the Wi-Fi space and enable more possible interactions for networks compared to being limited to 2.4ghz channels.
As a cyber security tool research and design company we are excited to have access to these chips to advance features in our current and future products, we have given a few of these boards to one of our developers Spooky to help contribute and aid in open source Wi-Fi Penetration tool, GhostESP.
We will also be developing new tools specifically for these chips that will be used in our products with parts being opened source to aid in development for the community.
