Presented at
DEF CON 32 (2024),
Aug. 9, 2024, noon
(105 minutes).
The Tengu Marauder, derived from a previous security drone project, is a portable wheeled robot equipped with an ESP32 Marauder, currently in its testing phase. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the Tengu Marauder serves as an alternative and interactive tool for WiFi network security testing. Its capabilities include WiFi scanning, deauthentication attacks, packet sniffing, and other wireless security tests. The compact design ensures ease of construction and maintenance using readily available parts and straightforward code integration. Essentially an advanced RC robot, the Tengu Marauder operates headless via XBee, providing a fun and engaging platform for testing the security of network-controlled devices over WiFi, such as IoT smart home devices and smaller WiFi-controlled drones like the Ryze Tello. This project would not have been possible without the development help, test runs, and support from the Philadelphia RAICES organization, the Philadelphia DEFCON group, and DeciSym.AI.

Lexie Thach
Lexie Thach has worked in cybersecurity for ten years in various positions. During this time, I developed a strong affinity for electrical engineering, programming, and robotics engineering. Despite not having a traditional academic background, I have extensive hands-on experience from my eight years in the US Air Force, specializing in cybersecurity and tactical networks for aircraft missions and operations. My focus on securing and testing the security of autonomous systems stems from these experiences, and I am passionate about sharing the techniques I have learned. Currently I run a local hackerspace in Philadelphia in support of DC215 called The Tooolbox where anyone can come to learn new hacking tools, try to build offensive or defensive security robots and we have 3D printers on standby for any prototyping people want.
