I just got an some ESP32 so I started playing with idf by espressif that it's released under apache 2.0.
So i thought "it's open source"
I spent 10 minutes searching for low level WiFi and BLE APIs on github.

Then I found an old issue
where an espressif dev says:

"The low level Bluetooth & WiFi implementations are proprietary"

FUCK!

they distribute Binary files in another repo also under apache 2.0.

any suggestion?

    @nik123 well they closed also the source of the esp_wifi_connect() function that handles some WiFi encryption. But handle this really bad there are some major security issues.
    That cannot be fixed by the community.

    How can we trust the reliability and security of that software if also after 1 Year still contains major security issues?
