ORUAM BSS (Basic Security Suite) is a custom firmware for the M5Stack Core2 ADV that turns the device into a compact, handheld security reconnaissance tool. The project explores the real limits of what an ESP32-based device can do in the field of network and wireless security — no Linux, no external SBCs, pure embedded C++.
The name carries a double meaning: ORUAM is the author's security codename, and BSS (Basic Security Suite) is also a reference to the 802.11 wireless term Basic Service Set — a nod to the WiFi-heavy nature of the tool.
Active development and expansion of the MeshCore decentralized mesh network in Brazil, focusing on interconnecting cities across the state of São Paulo — Santo André, Jundiaí, Sorocaba, and Campinas.
The project builds a resilient, low-cost communication mesh completely independent of traditional telecommunications infrastructure — fully off-grid, powered by LoRa radio technology. LoRa (Long Range) is a low-power wireless protocol capable of transmitting data over tens of kilometers without internet or cellular connectivity, ideal for emergency communications and remote areas. Nodes are powered by solar-charged batteries, enabling permanent autonomous operation.
