Bluetooth Nugget (ESP32S3)

The Bluetooth Nugget is here

Designed as an upgrade and successor to our popular USB Nugget, the new and more powerful Bluetooth Nugget is designed to make making ethical hacking easy to learn.

Powered by the new and faster dual‑core ESP32‑S3 chipset, it takes performance and connectivity to the next level, giving hackers access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio hacking on the go.

Let's Hack Bluetooth!

The Bluetooth Nugget has a friendly, redesigned interface with a built‑in OLED screen and six buttons for integrating on‑screen keyboards. With new Bluetooth radio capabilities, getting started with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB hacking is easy!

What to see what it can do? Check out this Bluetooth Spamming attack by catzpacho using an early prototype, which can create pairing requests popups on nearby phones: https://youtu.be/8Hov8jMSWiA?si=SCyA8AkwFRdi1IV3

New Faster Chipset

The Bluetooth Nugget has double the cores of the USB Nugget, and boosts single core speed by 5-10%. For parallel tasks, the Bluetooth Nugget can nearly double the performance of the USB Nugget, while special AI instructions make tasks like image processing, audio signal processing, and neural networks 7–8 times faster!

With the ESP32s3, you can expect:

1. USB support, allowing you to drag and drop code to a flash drive
2. HID support, allowing you to do keystroke injection style attacks
3. Wi-Fi monitor mode in Python
4. Bluetooth radio support for scanning, emulating, and connecting to devices
5. Support for Adafruit CircuitPython

Explore currently supported projects like:

• Bluetooth Spamming Attacks 
  
• Meshtastic Integration (with a LoRa backpack add-on)
• CircuitPython and Arduino Payloads

Plus, get inspired by innovative demos like Davis DeWitt’s LoRa-controlled mini RC car, showcasing the creative potential of the Bluetooth Nugget.
