TL;DR Summary

A Reddit user has shared code for a dynamic WiFi beacon that Rickrolls wireless LAN users via the broadcast SSID of an ESP32 WiFi radio. The ESP32 and its smaller sibling, the ESP8266, are popular microcontrollers featuring built-in WiFi support, making them a favorite for makers, hackers, and pranksters. The sketch periodically updates the SSID to a next line of text stored within the code, with the Rickroll prank featuring the next line of lyrics from "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
