👋 Hey LilyGO community,

A while back I posted here asking for feedback on [POOM](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thepoom/poom-pentest-play-create) \- thanks to everyone who commented!

**We're now live on Kickstarter** and made a major upgrade based on your input.

**What changed:**

Switched from ESP32-C6 to **ESP32-C5** to add **dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz)**. Many of you mentioned needing better range and less interference - 5GHz support helps with both.

SUPER Early bird: **$79 USD, Limited Units at this price**

**What it does:**

* Wi-Fi capture on 2.4GHz AND 5GHz (Wi-Fi 5/6)
* BLE 5.x sniffing and spoofing
* Zigbee/Thread/Matter packet capture
* HF-RFID (13.56MHz) read/write/emulate - MIFARE, DESFire, NTAG
* PCAP/PCAPNG export for Wireshark
* USB HID injection (BadUSB)
* Qwiic connector for sensor expansion
* Battery powered (\~4-6 hours)
* OTA updates via web interface (poom.local)
* Fully open source

**Four modes:**

* **Maker** \- Sensor data collection, IoT development
* **Beast** \- Pentesting (evil twin, deauth, captive portal, packet capture)
* **Gamer** \- BLE Controller
* **Zen** \- Midi Mode 

**Why ESP32-C5:**

* Dual-band Wi-Fi means you can do evil twin attacks on 5GHz networks
* Better for wardriving - capture both frequency bands
* Less crowded 5GHz spectrum = better performance

**HF-RFID capabilities:**

* Read/write/emulate MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, NTAG, DESFire
* Clone access badges
* Store multiple card dumps
* Works like the NFC features you're used to on T-Embed but dedicated hardware

**Open source:**

Everything will be on GitHub as soon as the campaing ends - hardware files, firmware, attack modules. Build your own or modify it however you want.



UPDATE: ESP32-C5 new device - Wi-Fi 5GHz + BLE + Zigbee/Thread/Matter + HF-RFID - Now live on Kickstarter!
