I find that ESP32 got the secure boot and flash encryption selections. But it's price and size is bigger, though much powerful and more pins.
ESP8266 is perfect for my project which is small and cheap and the pins are enough for my project. But the Code Protection seems a critical flaw.
I'm wondering if I use ChipID to make a key in my software to check if the chip is a fake clone of my project and limit some functions. Will this be cracked easily? I never try to crack someone's bin file or read the logic of a bin file which is machine language. Is it very easy to change the code logic with the exported bin file from ESP8266's flash?
