Security hardware, built like it's already on a shelf.
A one-person lab. Five open-source tools already shipping, plus firmware and a custom board on the bench — all built by LxveAce, in the open.

Cyber Controller
Current version: v2.0.0-beta
Flash, control, and coordinate every piece of security hardware on your bench from one dashboard — ESP32 Marauder, GhostESP, Bruce, and more. A protocol-aware serial monitor and a Unified Action Broadcast send one command to every connected radio, across desktop, TUI, and a web remote.

- Offline wardrive channel-coverage planner — point
--wardrive-planat a WiGLE CSV and it reports the distinct-network yield per Wi-Fi channel, the coverage curve, and which busiest channels to assign each radio when you run several at once. The channels come from the capture's own data (no hardcoded 1/6/11). Read-only, transmits nothing. - Meshtastic is a real integration, not just a flasher — connect a node over USB and CC speaks its protobuf StreamAPI directly: read the mesh (node list, channels, incoming text, SNR/battery) and send a text on any channel. Licensed ISM-band comms — CC relays your typed text and authors no RF frames.
- Wider board support — corrected bootloader flash offsets for ESP32-P4 / H4 / C61 (matched to esptool, golden-offset test across all 11 chip families), plus Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V4 flash support alongside the V3.
- Smarter BLE + device identity — advertisers resolve their manufacturer id (Apple, Google, Samsung) even behind a randomized MAC, show what a device is via its GAP appearance, and MAC-vendor lookup understands IEEE's 28-/36-bit sub-blocks. Unknown values are never given a fabricated name.
- Sturdier in the field — CYD panel detection re-reads before concluding, a multi-board wardrive flags a silent radio instead of hiding it at 0 APs, and the LxveOS bridge adds a randomized-MAC client flag plus sniff telemetry. Backend and serial control only — CC never authors radio frames.
On the roadmap
Cyber Controller, on mobile
A companion app to run Cyber Controller from your phone is on the roadmap. Early days — no download yet; I'll show it when it's real.
In development
Node / repeater mesh
A node/repeater system to mesh several ESP32s and extend range and coverage. The nodes stay fully DIY on stock ESP32 — see the hardware below for the optional custom board.
Projects
Four more tools, shipped and in daily use.
Beyond Cyber Controller — all open source, all built by LxveAce.
Headless Marauder GUI
v1.3.4Control and flash an ESP32 Marauder from one standalone app. No Python, no browser.
View on GitHubDead Man's Switch
v1.0.0A dead-man gate for ESP32 security firmware. Wipes flash, SD, and boot chain if you can't authenticate — defensive, owner-only, ships in a simulated-wipe safe mode.
View on GitHubSecure Delete
v0.3.4A crypto-erase vault that destroys the key instead of scrubbing bytes, with an optional TPM/hardware root. Honest about what an SSD can and can't guarantee.

Board development, out in the open.
We're building open ESP32 hardware with PCBWay as fab partner. It's on the bench, not in a store — nothing here claims to work or is for sale until there are real boards to show.
Node-meshIn development
For Cyber Controller
Node / repeater boards
Custom boards for Cyber Controller's node/repeater mesh. The nodes are and stay fully DIY on stock ESP32 — the board is just a cleaner, more capable option. Coming as a DIY kit and a preassembled kit.
LxveNodeIn development
Firmware + board
LxveOS & the LxveNode board
Our own ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U board designed around LxveOS, with a Wio-SX1262 LoRa radio for long-range sub-GHz work — a 2.4 GHz relay/repeater node, built range-first. Built on the open work of justcallmekoko's Marauder, ESP32-DIV, and others — credited properly, not competing with them.
Runs on your hardware
Flash the board you already have.
LxveOS and Cyber Controller run across common ESP32-class boards — you don't have to wait for our hardware. These are the boards the stack targets today; none of them are ours to sell.
Heltec WiFi LoRa 32V3 / V4
The LoRa + Meshtastic board. Cyber Controller speaks its Meshtastic StreamAPI directly — reads the mesh and sends text.

Open by default: the software stays open source, and the nodes stay buildable on hardware you already own.
Hardware in collaboration with PCBWay — from research and prototyping to production runs.
About the lab
One builder. No investors. No shortcuts.
LxveLabs is a small, independent lab — hardware and security tools, built by LxveAce. Self-taught, built in the open, and shared with the people who use this stuff. Cyber Controller is the center of it; everything else grows around that.
Responsible use comes first: these tools are for authorized testing on hardware you own or have permission to test. No exploit recipes, no jammers.
More to explore
Two more corners of the lab — each on its own page.
