ESP8266 Wi-Fi microchip - Building a Wi-Fi Hacking Toolkit

Wi-Fi microchip that's used in many Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as smart security, energy, industrial, and medical devices.

a system on a chip (SOC) with a built-in TCP/IP protocol stack that allows microcontrollers to connect to Wi-Fi networks and perform a variety of functions, including:

  1. Networking
  2. Data processing
  3. P2P connectivity
  4. Web server
  5. Managing Wi-Fi network operations
  6. Hosting applications
  7. Offloading Wi-Fi networking functions from other application processors

The ESP8266 has several features that make it a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including:

  1. GPIO pins: General-purpose input/output pins that can interface with external devices and sensors
  2. Protocol support: Supports the 802.11 b/g/n protocol
  3. Connectivity: Can connect to a router as a client or access point
  4. Programmability: Can be programmed with its own code or with factory firmware
