The author participated in the LeHack 2025 event and set up a device to demonstrate the ease of hacking trusted Wi-Fi networks. Using 8x ESP32-C3 with custom karma firmware and 2x M5Stack CardPuters as control interfaces, the author successfully attracted 100 unique connections, including one from a speaker on stage. The main objective was to raise awareness among participants about the vulnerability of Wi-Fi networks, without collecting data or performing MITM attacks.
