ESP8266 Deauther
Scan for WiFi devices, block selected connections, create dozens of networks and confuse WiFi scanners!
The WiFi password for pwned is deauther in case you were looking for it 😉
Functions​
- Scan for WiFi networks and clients
- Create docents of WiFi networks (beacon flooding)
- Confuse WiFi trackers by sending fake probe requests (probe flooding)
- Disconnect selected devices by sending deauth packets (deauthentication attack)

About this Project​
This firmware allows you to easily perform a variety of actions to test 802.11 networks using an ESP8266. It's also a great project for learning about WiFi, microcontrollers, Arduino, hacking and electronics/programming in general.
The deauthentication attack is the main feature, which can be used to disconnect devices from their WiFi network.
Although this denial-of-service attack is nothing new, a lot of devices are still vulnerable to it. Luckily this is slowly changing with more WiFi 6 enabled devices being used. But a lot of outdated WiFi devices remain in place, for example in cheap IoT hardware.
With an ESP8266 Deauther, you can easily test this attack on your 2.4GHz WiFi network/devices and see whether it's successful or not. And if it is, you know you should upgrade your network.
This project is a proof of concept for testing and educational purposes.
Neither the ESP8266, nor its SDK was meant or built for such purposes. Bugs can occur!
Use it only against your own networks and devices!
Please check the legal regulations in your country before using it.
We don't take any responsibility for what you do with this program.
