Independent hardware & security lab

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 release: v1.9.0-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.

Just shipped · v1.9.0-beta

New in v1.9.0-beta

  • LxveOS is now a first-class firmware — recognize, flash, and control LxveOS boards end-to-end over the LXVEOS/1 serial protocol, validated on real ESP32 silicon.
  • A new Operate console — a single-device control surface with a SAFE/ARMED lamp and two-factor arm; offensive transmit verbs stay locked until the device is ARMED.
  • Passive network intel on Targets — OUI→vendor labels, a channel-occupancy survey, and target freshness, all passive.
  • A firmware-variant picker on the web flash page — plus CYD board-detection that applies its detected panel, and a reachable Crack Lab JSON export.
  • A broad security & reliability hardening sweep — across 50 firmware profiles and 5 backends. Backend and serial control only — Cyber Controller issues firmware CLI commands and never authors radio frames.
Full v1.9.0-beta notes & downloads
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.

Universal Flasher

v1.4.0

One app to flash ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Flipper Zero, and ADB security gear — plus full OS images to USB.

Headless Marauder GUI

v1.3.4

Control and flash an ESP32 Marauder from one standalone app. No Python, no browser.

Dead Man's Switch

v1.0.0

A 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.

Secure Delete

v0.3.4

A 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.

Hardware · in development with PCBWay

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 firmware for the ESP32 + BW16 platform (2.4 and 5 GHz), plus the board designed around it. Built on the open work of justcallmekoko's Marauder, ESP32-DIV, and others — credited properly, not competing with them.

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.
