ESParto Cyberdeck – ESP32-Based Remote Control for RC Projects #3DPrinting #3DThursday

Jimbob shares:

A handheld cyberdeck-style ESP32 controller designed for radio-controlled projects. Compact, portable, and customizable — great inspiration for makers building custom RC interfaces or portable ESP32 tools

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

Anyone on the internet can ring your doorbell

Temuri Takalandze on abgeo.dev looks at a smart doorbell bought on Temu.

Recently I bought a smart doorbell off Temu, the Chinese marketplace that has been gaining popularity worldwide over the past couple of years. I wanted to know how secure the cheap connected hardware sold on that platform actually is. The unit ships under the name “Smart Doorbell X3” and pairs through a mobile app called “X Smart Home”. Camera, microphone, two-way audio, sub-GHz indoor receiver. The kind of gear that has quietly shown up on a lot of front doors.

By the end of a few weekends with one I could:

• silently steal any of these doorbells off its owner’s account
• impersonate the device on a live call, with attacker-chosen video on the owner’s phone
• lift the home WiFi password through a debug port behind a screwdriver

$12 on the front. Whole-network compromise on the back. The first of those takes a free account on the platform, and redirects every real call from the door to my phone instead of the owner’s. The second takes nothing at all, and invents new calls into the owner’s phone with whatever video I want. The real doorbell stays online either way and never knows. You are basically paying $12 to let anyone on the internet ring your doorbell.

See all the details in the post here.

Reverse engineering Android malware with Claude Code

Zane St. John plugged in a $35 projector from AliExpress and pointed it at a bedroom wall. Within minutes of connecting it to WiFi, the home Pi-hole security portal lit up due to issues.

When I powered it on, the experience was more professional than expected. Android 11 (API 30), production build (not signed with test keys!), and not rooted out of the box. But the polished launcher couldn’t fully mask the sketchiness underneath—as my Pi-hole had already made clear.

Armed with adb and jadx, I started examining the pre-installed apps. The first red flag: a litany of com.htc. packages on a device that isn’t made by HTC. It’s made by a company called Hotack (sold under brand names like Magcubic). A thin disguise.

I’d been using Claude Code with mixed success (mostly positive) for software engineering work, and I suspected it could do more than just speed up the tedious parts of reverse engineering.

Working through each decompiled APK, Claude Code mapped a coordinated suite of vendor malware.

I expected adware. Maybe a tracking pixel. What Claude Code found was a multi-stage RAT with active C2 infrastructure, firmware-level persistence, a plugin system, and a direct pipeline into a commercial residential proxy network—all pre-installed at the factory on a device sold openly on major marketplaces.

See the details of what was found inside the software on the device and more in the article here and on GitHub.
