first project idea

[u/Accomplished-Toe5218]

I am a cybersecurity student, just starting. And I thought of doing a small project. But I want it to be fun and something I consider cool. I plan on going with a small network jammer. Keep in mind this is my 1st time planning to work with hardware and wireless networks. But I think I can pull this off.
I did my own research to the best of my abilities, and what I found out is I need an SDR device. Initially, I was planning to go with a Raspberry Pi Pico W or an ESP32. But later I found out it won't be ideal for a jammer since I'd need some external components. I might be wrong.
It would be really helpful if anyone could drop their opinion below on the project idea itself or the hardware components I might need, and any tips or advice from your experience

Then you have: https://github.com/pu2clr/QN8066/tree/main/examples/07_ESP32/02_ESP32_WEB_WIFI_QN8066

ESP32 with a QN8066 is cheap and ez; all you would need to do is write code. Ladyada has the math and the paper about the wavebuble; you code, use that.
