Minino, the kitten-shaped ESP32-C6 board built in collaboration between Electronic Cats and PwnLabs, picked up another firmware update, v1.1.14.1, the 29th release in the project’s history.

A swiss-army knife that keeps growing

Minino packs six operating technologies into a board that fits in your palm:

  • Wi-Fi: sniffer, deauther, SSID spammer, DoS and a deauthentication detector
  • BLE: AirTags / Tile tracker scanner, spammer and HID spoofing
  • Zigbee: sniffer and end-device spoofing, with Wireshark integration
  • Thread: sniffer and broadcast
  • GPS: WarDriving with location, speed and time
  • Matter: groundwork in place for protocol support

Capture goes straight to a .pcap on the microSD card, and the on-device File Manager (local AP or Wi-Fi) makes pulling captures off the board painless. OTA updates keep everything current, just note that OTA needs the 8 MB build.

Built to be hacked on

Everything is open source and open hardware: firmware under AGPL/GPL-3.0 and hardware under CERN-OHL v1.2. The repo is a healthy mix of C++, Python and C with more than 1,300 commits behind it.
