## Summary

Hacknect is a crowdfunding project for an ESP32-S3-powered USB Type-A cable with hidden Wi-Fi capabilities, HID automation (keyboard/mouse injection), payload deployment, and a microSD card slot concealed inside one of the USB connectors. It can be wirelessly controlled via a web-based panel from smartphones or computers, supporting features like keystroke injection, USB keylogging, payload drops, self-destruct mode, and remote console. The device is aimed at makers, developers, and cybersecurity researchers. It launched on Kickstarter, raising ~$14,000, with early bird pricing starting at €65 plus shipping, with deliveries expected August 2026.
