🚨 ESP32-C6 - Total Destruction Mode

About

A destructive security demonstration project showcasing ESP32-C6 microcontroller capabilities for educational and authorized lab testing. This project demonstrates remote system manipulation through Wi-Fi connectivity using two operational modes: Station mode (existing network) and AP mode (hotspot creation).

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: This code was NOT designed to run on your own computer!

This project is designed to cause a target Windows computer to completely lose all data using the ESP32-C6 module. It should only be used in controlled lab environments and on test machines.

⚡ Danger Warning

This code performs the following operations:

1. Deletes boot data - bcdedit /deleteall - Computer cannot find Windows
2. Deletes Registry keys - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
3. Deletes system drivers - All .sys files are removed
4. Triggers system crash - svchost.exe and other critical processes are terminated

Result: Target computer cannot run without an operating system, all data is lost.

🚀 Usage

Mode 1: Station Mode (Connected to Existing Wi-Fi)

This mode connects the ESP32 to the lab's existing Wi-Fi network.

ESP32 Side

1. Open ESP32Station/ESP32Station.ino
2. Update Wi-Fi credentials:

   const char* ssid     = "FiberHGW_ZTE4FE";
   const char* password = "Trabzon61";
   

3. Set static IP (based on router's subnet):

   IPAddress local_IP(192, 168, 1, 253);
   IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 1);
   IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
   

4. Upload and verify IP from Serial Monitor (9600 baud)

PC Side

1. Open ESP32Station/dinleyici_station.py
2. Review the code (understand what it does for security)
3. Open PowerShell/CMD AS ADMINISTRATOR
4. Run:

   python dinleyici_station.py
   

5. Program waits for "DELETE" signal
6. Connect phone to same Wi-Fi and visit 192.168.1.253
7. Press button and destruction occurs

Create Executable:

pyinstaller --onefile -w dinleyici_station.py
# .exe file created in dist/ folder

---

Mode 2: AP (Hotspot) Mode

ESP32 creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot (HACK_DEMO / 12345678).

ESP32 Side

1. Open ESP32Wifi/ESP32Wifi.ino
2. Upload
3. Observe LED status

PC Side

1. Connect PC's Wi-Fi to HACK_DEMO network (Password: 12345678)
2. Open ESP32Wifi/dinleyici_wifi.py
3. Set target folder path:

   KLASOR_YOLU = r"C:\target_folder"
   

4. Run AS ADMINISTRATOR:

   python dinleyici_wifi.py
   

5. Visit 192.168.4.1/tetikle in web browser → folder gets deleted

🎨 LED Status Indicators

The RGB LED on ESP32 shows status:

Color	Meaning
🟦 Blue	Startup, ready
🟩 Green	Wi-Fi connected
🟨 Yellow	Searching for computer connection
🔴 Red	"DELETE" command received, destruction started

🔍 Troubleshooting

"Cannot connect to Wi-Fi"

• Solution: Verify SSID and password are correct
• Try even if network doesn't use WPA2
• Check IP from Serial Monitor

"Python cannot reach ESP32"

• Are computer and ESP32 on same network?
• Disable firewall and antivirus
• Is IP address correct? ping 192.168.1.253

"Running as Administrator"

• Python scripts MUST run as administrator
• Otherwise you'll get WinError 5

"LED not lighting up"

• Is GPIO 8 pin correct?
• Is Adafruit NeoPixel library installed?
• Test LED manually:

  void setup() {
    led.begin();
    ledRenk(255, 0, 0);  // RED
  }

🛡️ Security Notes

1. NEVER run this on your own computer under any circumstances!
2. Only deploy on test/lab machines
3. Keep network isolated - Disconnect from internet
4. Add firewall rules - Prevent unauthorized access
5. Restrict physical access - Nobody can access ESP32
6. Backup all data - Before any testing
