🔎 What is NetBlash?

NetBlash is a compact, opinionated toolkit and example firmware for ESP8266 that demonstrates:

• Web-based local configuration (Wi-Fi + test target + rate/delay).
• EEPROM-backed persistent settings.
• Optional local display support (I²C LCD 16×2 or SSD1306 OLED).
• Simple request loop for resilience testing in controlled environments.
• Safety-first defaults and guidance to avoid misuse.

This repository is intentionally documented and structured to emphasize responsible testing.

⚙️ Features (education-first)

• Web portal to configure Wi-Fi and target (local-only).
• Save/load configuration in EEPROM.
• Start/stop request loop from browser.
• Optional display integration: I²C LCD (PCF8574) or SSD1306 OLED.
• Activity logging and simple counters for local observation.
• OTA-friendly structure (optional) — recommended only on private networks.
