This is the official companion application for the Biscuit hardware ecosystem. The Biscuit is a headless wireless auditing tool designed for wardrivers, security professionals, and even beginners. This application connects to the device via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to provide a user interface for the device. Use this app to control scanning, analysis, and testing operations across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and WiFi 6 networks. WiFi Capabilities Dual-Band Scanning: View Access Points, Stations, and Probe Requests across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously. a Traffic Analysis: Monitor channel utilization and capture beacon frames with security type detection. Handshake Capture: Capture PMKID and 4-way handshakes for analysis. Network Testing: Perform deauthentication testing (broadcast and targeted) and deploy captive portals. Threat Detection: Identify Rogue APs and known audit devices like Pwnagotchi or WiFi Pineapple. Bluetooth Capabilities Device Discovery: Scan for BLE and Classic Bluetooth devices, including tracker tags. Skimmer Detection: Identify potential credit card skimmers (HC-05/HC-06 modules). Wardriving: Log Bluetooth data with GPS integration and support for WiGLE uploads. Device Management Dashboard: View real-time connection status and battery levels. Configuration: Configure the RGB status LED for stealth operation. Firmware Updates: Perform Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates over WiFi. Hardware Required This application requires the Biscuit Pro physical device. It is not compatible with standard ESP32 hardware for 5GHz operations. Legal Disclaimer The Biscuit Pro and this application are designed for authorized security auditing, educational purposes, and research only. Users are responsible for ensuring they have proper authorization before testing any network or device. Misuse may violate local or federal laws.

Robin

Robin turns your iPhone into a control panel for remote packet capture. It connects over SSH to your own OpenWrt router or Linux host, runs tcpdump remotely, and sends a standard pcap straight back to your iPhone. Robin offers two capture sources: • Air capture — use monitor mode on a compatible Wi-Fi radio to capture 802.11 frames. Robin can scan nearby access points and configure the radio, channel, and width. • Interface capture — capture packets visible to an existing Linux interface such as br-lan or eth0. Monitor-mode support is not required, and Robin does not change the interface state. Robin does not require jailbreaking your iPhone or attaching a USB Wi-Fi adapter to it. The capture runs on the remote host; your iPhone handles connection, detection, configuration, control, and download. Robin is not a generic SSH client. It is a guided workflow built for remote packet capture: • Connect — securely over SSH with password or Ed25519/RSA key authentication. Passphrase-protected private keys are supported, and host keys are pinned on first use. • Detect — check whether air and interface capture are available, including radios, Linux interfaces, required tools, and permissions. • Configure — choose a capture source, channel, or network interface, then add an optional BPF filter, stop timer, and output directory. • Filter — get basic BPF validation as you type, with common examples, a combination builder, and a syntax reference. • Capture — start a detached tcpdump task that keeps running if SSH disconnects. Interface capture excludes the current SSH control connection by default and has a protective file-size limit. • Download — pull the .pcap to your iPhone and open it in Wireshark or your tool of choice. WORKS WITH: • OpenWrt routers, usually with root login • Regular Linux hosts using an existing active network interface • A monitor-mode-compatible Wi-Fi radio for air capture; interface capture does not require one • Root, file capabilities, passwordless sudo, or password-based sudo • Standard Dropbear / OpenSSH targets, with no SFTP required BUILT FOR: Network engineers, Wi-Fi troubleshooters, and security researchers who need a fast, portable way to collect pcaps from infrastructure they own or are authorized to test. GOOD TO KNOW: • Robin requires an SSH-accessible remote device with tcpdump. Only air capture requires Wi-Fi monitor mode. • Captures survive SSH disconnects and can be resumed after reconnecting. • Credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain, never on the remote device. • Air capture on a single-radio router may drop your Wi-Fi control link. Interface capture does not switch the radio mode, and Robin warns you when the air-capture risk applies. Robin is a capture and transfer tool. Use it only on networks you own or have explicit permission to test. Capturing traffic on networks without authorization may be illegal in your jurisdiction.
