Hacker Devices — Open Hardware for Security Research

A collection of fully open-source hardware designs for legitimate security research and pentesting. Every device is complete end-to-end: engineering docs, KiCad schematics & PCB layouts, production C/Python firmware, and React Native companion apps. Build it, flash it, run the app, start researching.

What's Inside Every Device

No half-finished reference designs. Each device folder contains the full stack:

CategoryFilesDescription
Engineering Docsphase1_conceptual_architecture.md → phase4_software_stack.md4-phase design process: requirements, BOM & netlists, PCB layout rules, software stack
KiCad Schematicskicad/*.kicad_pro, *.kicad_sch, *.kicad_pcbFull schematic with real component symbols, net labels, power flags, and board outline with placed footprints
C/Python Firmwarefirmware/main.c, registers.h, board.h, drivers/, MakefileProduction-quality MCU firmware — init code, drivers with DMA, USB descriptors, wire protocol
React Native Appapp/App.js, screens/, components/, utils/protocol.js, package.jsonCompanion mobile app for device control, configuration, real-time status, and data capture

Design Methodology

Every device follows a rigorous 4-phase process:

PhaseDocumentContents
Phase 1phase1_conceptual_architecture.mdPurpose, performance targets, constraints, block diagram, bus topology, power domains
Phase 2phase2_component_selection_schematics.mdBOM with real part numbers, pinouts/MUX tables, decoupling networks, netlists, impedance matching
Phase 3phase3_pcb_blueprints_layout.mdPCB stackup, routing rules, length matching, via strategy, thermal management, DFM notes
Phase 4phase4_software_stack.mdMMIO/register defs, clock & GPIO init (production C), critical device driver, device tree, bootloader

Constraints

  • BOM target: Under $100 per device
  • Form factor: Portable, USB-powered or battery-operated
  • All designs use real, purchasable components with exact part numbers
  • KiCad schematics are valid KiCad 7+ format — open them directly
  • Firmware is production-quality C — not stubs or pseudocode
  • React Native apps have working UI with proper state management and wire protocol matching the firmware

Questions

How big is the Device PCB?

It measures 125 × 75 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Device use?

7 parts, built around the LFE5U-25F-6BG256C, STM32U575VIT6 and AP2112K-3.3. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Device KiCad files?

From the jayis1/hacker-devices repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sdio-sentinel/kicad/device.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Device design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jayis1 before reusing the design.
