Hi everyone,
I’d like to introduce POOM, an open-source, pocket-sized hardware tool we’ve been building for wireless forensics, security research, and ethical pentesting.
POOM was designed specifically for defensive use cases: understanding RF environments, auditing IoT deployments, and learning how modern wireless systems


Why POOM?
Most portable tools still focus heavily on 2.4 GHz. POOM is built around the ESP32-C5, which enables native 5 GHz Wi-Fi alongside other radios, making it far more relevant for modern networks.
Core capabilities (for research & forensics)

• Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz
  


• Packet capture (PCAP)
  


• AP analysis & environment mapping
  


• Controlled Evil Twin / captive portal simulations (lab use)
  


• BLE + Zigbee / Thread (802.15.4)
  


• Multi-protocol observation
  


• IoT ecosystem visibility
  


• NFC / HF-RFID (13.56 MHz)
  


• Card reading, emulation, and analysis
  


• Intended for access-control research & auditing
  


• Forensics-friendly
  


• PCAP export
  


• Offline analysis with Wireshark
  


• No cloud dependency
  


• Maker / Research extensions
  


• Qwiic (I²C) connector for GPS, sensors, time-correlation, etc.
  


• Fully scriptable and extensible firmware
  


• Philosophy
  


• Open-source hardware & firmware
  

Built for learning, auditing, and controlled environments
POOM is currently live on Kickstarter and already funded.
Thanks — and looking forward to constructive feedback from the community.

Welcome to HF, mate. But you’ve only just registered and posted 2 identical threads, and that’s it. You didn’t put much in the threads… I hope you come back and post some HQ content. Good luck!🙂
