Frequently Asked Questions


1. What are the default network credentials?

  • SSID: GhostNet
  • Password: GhostNet

2. What are the default credentials for the web interface?

  • Username: GhostNet
  • Password: GhostNet

3. How do I access the web interface?


4. Why don’t the default credentials work for the web interface?

  • The web interface uses the same credentials as your WiFi AP.
  • If you’ve changed your WiFi SSID or password, your web interface credentials also change.

Note: The firmware has a subtle password-length mismatch: the AP code falls back to the default password unless the saved password is longer than 8 characters, while web authentication treats passwords of length 8 as valid. If you set an exactly 8‑character password you may see the web UI and AP use different credentials; use a password longer than 8 characters to avoid this.


5. How do I flash my board?


6. Can I upload custom Evil Portal HTML over Serial or from my Flipper Zero?

  • SD Card: Place custom HTML in /ghostesp/evil_portal/portals on your SD card.
  • Flipper Zero App: You can upload simple HTML (max 2048 bytes) directly via the app (v1.4+ and firmware v1.7+).

7. My board isn’t currently supported. Will you add support?

  • Unless something is said otherwise, No. Freel free to do it yourself we accept and appreciate PRs :)

8. Why does my connection to the GhostESP AP drop when issuing WiFi commands?

  • The ESP32 can’t operate as both an Access Point and WiFi Client at the same time.
    Switching modes will disconnect your device from the AP.

9. I’m not seeing any output when connecting via Serial.

  • The firmware is silent unless a command is running.
  • Try sending the help command to verify your connection or reconnecting, sometimes you will have a bad connection.

10. Why won’t my SD card work?

  • "Generic" firmware builds include SD card support by default, use sd_config to see the pins or sd_pins_spi <cs> <clk> <miso> <mosi> to set SPI pins and sd_save_config to save the pin config to SD card.

  • Ensure your SD card is formatted as FAT32.

  • Try using a SanDisk brand SD card 32GB or less.
