OUI-SPY

OUI-SPY

ESP32-S3 based multi-mode detection system with integrated buzzer and power management.

This board has sick PCB art. Available on Tindie and colonelpanic.tech - Ready-to-use, no additional components required.

All current firmware is passive and detection-only. Nothing transmitted, nothing exploited — just listening. This is the Blue Edition (defensive/recon). A Red Edition with offensive capabilities is in development and will be released separately. Stay tuned.


Firmware Options

All four modes in one firmware — select from a boot menu, reboot, and go.

One flash, four capabilities. The unified build combines Detector, Foxhunter, Flock-You, and Sky Spy into a single firmware with a WiFi-based boot selector. No reflashing needed to switch modes.

  • Boot selector on AP oui-spy / ouispy123 at 192.168.4.1
  • Hold BOOT button 2 seconds to return to the selector from any mode
  • MAC randomization on every boot for privacy
  • Global buzzer toggle from the selector menu
  • Distinct boot sounds per mode — each plays its own retro tune so you know which firmware you're in
  • Persistent mode selection — remembers your last choice across power cycles
  • Configurable AP — change the selector SSID/password from the web UI

Includes all features from the standalone firmwares below, plus GPS wardriving in Flock-You mode, session persistence to flash, KML export for Google Earth, and a prior session history tab.

Use Cases: Everything. Flash once, switch modes on the fly.


OUI-SPY Detector

Multi-target BLE device scanner with OUI filtering

  • Detects multiple devices simultaneously by MAC address or manufacturer OUI
  • Web-based configuration portal for target management
  • Smart cooldown system prevents alert spam
  • Audio feedback with different beep patterns for new vs. re-detected devices
  • Persistent configuration storage
  • Good for general surveillance and device monitoring

Use Cases: Security monitoring, device inventory, general BLE scanning


OUI-SPY Foxhunter

Precision proximity tracker for radio direction finding

  • Single target MAC address tracking with real-time RSSI analysis
  • Variable proximity beeping based on signal strength (closer = faster beeps)
  • Optimized for directional antenna usage and triangulation
  • Aggressive scanning parameters for maximum sensitivity
  • Clean audio feedback system for field operations
  • Good for foxhunting competitions and asset recovery

Use Cases: Radio direction finding, asset tracking, security device location, RF analysis


OUI-SPY UniPwn

Advanced Unitree robot exploitation system with web interface

  • BLE-based command injection exploits for Unitree Go2, G1, H1, and B2 robots
  • AutoPwn automation with 7-step exploitation and bulletproof error handling
  • Real-time BLE scanning with signal strength indicators and target management
  • Custom command injection with SSID/password injection methods
  • Comprehensive web interface with operations logging and system monitoring
  • AES-CFB128 encryption implementation for Unitree's crypto protocol
  • Based on original research by Bin4ry and d0splash

Use Cases: Security research, authorized penetration testing, educational robotics security assessment


Flock-You

Flock Safety & Raven surveillance device detector with web dashboard and GPS wardriving

  • BLE-only detection — MAC prefix, device name, manufacturer ID (0x09C8 XUNTONG), Raven UUID fingerprinting
  • WiFi AP dashboard at 192.168.4.1 with live detection feed, pattern DB, and export tools
  • GPS wardriving via phone browser Geolocation API — tags every detection with coordinates
  • Session persistence to flash (SPIFFS) with prior session history tab
  • Export as JSON, CSV, or KML (Google Earth) — current and prior sessions
  • Flask-compatible serial JSON output for live desktop ingestion
  • Crow call boot sounds, detection alerts, and heartbeat audio feedback
  • 200 unique device storage with thread-safe FreeRTOS mutex
  • Companion Flask desktop app in api/ folder with JSON/CSV/KML import

Use Cases: Surveillance detection, privacy auditing, wardriving, security research


Sky-Spy

Drone RemoteID detection and real-time mapping system

  • Dual-protocol scanning: WiFi promiscuous mode + BLE for OpenDroneID (ASTM F3411)
  • Real-time GPS coordinate extraction from drone broadcasts (location, altitude, speed, heading)
  • Operator/pilot location tracking and identification
  • JSON serial output for mesh-mapper.py visualization integration
  • Thread-safe audio alerts: 3 quick beeps on detection, heartbeat every 5 seconds
  • Multi-drone tracking: Monitor up to 8 drones simultaneously
  • Non-blocking buzzer implementation with dedicated FreeRTOS task

Use Cases: Drone detection, airspace monitoring, RemoteID compliance verification, counter-UAS awareness
