Banshee

Official documentation for Banshee device (ESP32-C5 display + ESP32-S3 compute)

Welcome to the Banshee documentation!

Banshee is a dual-SoC pentesting device featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC (PN532/Chameleon Ultra), infrared TX/RX, USB keyboard support, wired Ethernet, GPS, SD card storage, and a color touchscreen display. It pairs an ESP32-C5 (display MCU) with an ESP32-S3 (compute/IO) linked over UART via GhostLink, running the GhostESP firmware for wireless security testing, NFC operations, and IoT exploration.

Use the sidebar to navigate sections. For firmware features, see the GhostESP Wi-Fi toolkit, BLE, NFC, and Infrared documentation.
