ZeroTrace HID
Secure WiFi (AP)
WPA2 access point hosted by the device
The device's built-in access point runs WPA2-PSK by default.
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| SSID | [DeviceName] ZT |
| Password | ZeroTrace |
| Security | WPA2-PSK (AES-CCMP) |
| IP | 192.168.4.1 |
| DHCP range | 192.168.4.2–192.168.4.254 |
Change credentials
Settings → WiFi → AP lets you change SSID, password, and channel. New credentials apply on the next reboot.
For shared environments, change the password from the default before deployment — ZeroTrace is publicly documented and trivially guessable.
Disable
Set WiFi mode to Off to disable the AP entirely. The device falls back to USB-HID + BLE only. Use this for engagements that prohibit RF emissions.
Range
ESP32-S3 onboard PCB antenna, no external dipole. Typical range:
- 10 m line of sight in Low power mode
- 30 m line of sight in High power mode
- Half that through one drywall partition
For longer range (multi-room or outdoor), the integrated antenna is the limit — there's no U.FL connector on HID hardware. The ZeroTrace AirLeak unit ships with U.FL for that use case.
