🌐 Overview

Project Ouroboros is a modular, dual-use cybersecurity platform encompassing multiple ESP32-based hardware and firmware modules for wireless defense, monitoring, and controlled research/offense experiments.

It is structured as a parent ecosystem:

• Blue Pill (Passive Development) : Consumer-friendly, multi-layer defense shield (Wi-Fi, BLE, Sub-GHz) with anomaly detection and automated mitigation.
• OuroMini: Rapid-prototype dual-use demo board (15-day expo build) showcasing real-time wireless telemetry, visualization, and ghost traces.

The Ouroboros philosophy: eternal cycle of attack & defense — integrating visualization, telemetry, and interactive demos in a single hardware/firmware ecosystem.

🔹 Core Objectives

• Defense: Protect home, personal, and IoT networks from Wi-Fi, BLE, Sub-GHz attacks.
• Research: Safe experimentation of offensive tools for learning and controlled testing.
• Visualization: Real-time telemetry, ghost traces, waterfall spectrums, and dashboards for expos or lab demos.
• Rapid Deployment: Prebuilt .bin firmware, modular hardware, and standardized flashing for fast prototyping.
• Extensibility: Supports TinyML, AI-assisted anomaly detection, and additional RF front-ends.
