Interfering with radio communications, whether through jamming, deauthing attacks, or other meddling, is generally considered a crime, and one that attracts significant penalties. However, studying such techniques should provide a useful edge in the electronic wars to come. In this vein, [Giorgio Filardi] has recently built a WiFi deauther the size of a credit card.
The device has a simple interface, consisting of 3 buttons and a small OLED screen. It can also be accessed remotely and controlled through a web interface. A NodeMCU ESP8266 board runs the show, using [spacehuhn]’s deauther firmware. The point-to-point construction probably won’t hold up to much rough and tumble out in the field, but it’s fine for a bench test. We’d recommend constructing an enclosure if it was to be used more regularly.
There’s plenty of functionality baked in – the device can scan for networks, perform deauth attacks, and even create spoof networks. It’s a tricky little device that serves to highlight several flaws in WiFi security that are yet to be fixed by the powers that be.
Using one of these devices for nefarious purposes will likely get you into trouble. Experimenting on your own networks can be educational, however, and goes to show that wireless networks are never quite as safe as we want them to be.
If you’re wondering as to the difference between deauthentication and jamming, here’s your primer.
Setting WiFi up via the command line This method is suitable if you don't have access to the graphical user interface normally used to set up WiFi on the Raspberry Pi. It is particularly suitable for use with a serial console cable if you don't have access to a screen or wired Ethernet network.

Story
First, I just want to mention about few things which were in my mind before I could make my project. As Samy Kamkar said in Hackaday superconference that we should move towards low-cost hacking/exploitation tools could think only about NodeMCU as it was the only cheap MCU I knew that has wifi.
Before that, I only knew the ESP8266 as an IoT module and I could only make things like home automation or the simple 2 led control using the ugly HTML page. Unlike other commercially available WiFi jammers would burn several holes in my pockets having a hefty price tag of at least 45 $ (checked on amazon and eBay).
That time I had I had fewer savings as the raspberry pi was very costly for me (almost 43$, god only knows why it is so costly in India). not use many WiFi jammers are proprietary and I could not make many tweaks in them. I could not resist myself to upload this tutorial as this project is is a success for me.
When I had uploaded this tutorial some people could not use the WiFi jammer properly this is the revised version of the WiFi jammer.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a low-cost WiFi jammer using ESP8266.
Depiction
Assemble your own WiFi jammer with an ESP8266. You select the customers you need to disengage from their system and begin the assault. For whatever length of time that the assault is running, the chose gadgets can't associate with their system. You can examine for systems, filter for customer gadgets, and begin distinctive assaults.
Points of interest
Fabricate your own WiFi jammer with an ESP8266
What it will be: It's a gadget which plays out a deauth attack. You select the customers you need to separate from their system and begin the assault. For whatever length of time that the attack is running, the chosen gadgets can't interface with their system.
How it functions:
The 802.11 WiFi convention contains an alleged deauthentication outline. It is utilized to detach customers securely from a remote system. Since these bundles are decoded, you simply require the MAC address of the WiFi switch and of the customer gadget which you need to detach from the system. You don't should be in the system or know the password, it's sufficient to be in its range.
What an ESP8266 is:
The ESP8266 is an exceptionally shoddy microcontroller with implicit WiFi. It contains a capable 160 MHz processor and you can program it with the Arduino IDE. This makes it ideal for this venture.
Step 1: Disclaimer
Utilize it just to test purposes all alone gadgets!
If it's not too much trouble check the legitimate controls in your nation before utilizing it. Sticking transmitters are unlawful in many nations and this gadget can fall into a similar classification (regardless of the possibility that it's in fact not the same). My aim with This venture is to attract consideration regarding this issue. This attack indicates how vulnerable is the 802.11 WiFi standard is and that it must be settled.
Step 2: Installation
boards manager
preferences
modifying the code
The main thing you will need is a PC and an ESP8266 /NodeMCU with no less than 1Mb of flash memory.
I prescribe you to purchase a USB breakout/engineer board since they have 4Mb flash and are extremely easy to utilize. It doesn't make a difference which board you use, the length of it has an ESP8266 on it.(If you utilizing an ESP-01 with only 512kb, you can comment out the MAC Vendor list in data.h.)
1. Install Arduino and open it.
2. Go to File > Preferences
3. Add to the Additional Boards Manager URLs.
4. Go to Tools>Board > Boards Manager
5. Type in ESP8266
6. Select version 2.0.0 and click on Install (must be version 2.0.0!)
7. Go to File > Preferences
8. Open the folder path under More preferences can be edited directly in the file
9. Go to packages > esp8266 > hardware > esp8266 > 2.0.0 > tools > sdk > include
10. Open user_interface.h with a text editor 11. Scroll down and before #endif add following lines:
And don't forget to save!
12. Go to the SDK_fix folder of this project
13. Copy ESP8266WiFi.cpp and ESP8266WiFi.h
14. Past these files here packages > esp8266 > hardware > esp8266 > 2.0.0 > libraries > ESP8266WiFi > src
15. Open esp8266_deauther > esp8266_deauther.ino in Arduino
16. Select your ESP8266 board at Tools > Board and the right port at Tools > PortIf no port shows up you may have to reinstall the drivers.
17. Upload! Note: If you use a 512kb version of the ESP8266, you need to comment out a part of the mac vendor list in data.h. Your ESP8266 Deauther is now ready!
Step 3: How to Use It
To begin with, begin your ESP8266 by giving it powering it . You can do as such by associating it to the power bank or the USB connector. You can likewise interface with USB ports in Laptops.
Step 4:
Scan for WiFi networks and connect to pwned. The password is deauther. Once connected, you can open up your browser and go to 192.168.4.1
You can now scan for networks.
Step 5:
Scan for client devices.
Note: While scanning the ESP8266 will shut down its access point, so you may have to go to your settings and reconnect to the WiFi network manually.
Step 6:
And start different attacks.

Journey through Electronics
Hi, my name is Tejas. I am 18 years old. I have been interested in electronics since I was a 9-year-old kid. My most favourite pastime activity was to disassemble toys and figure out the components. When I was 11 years of age, I started disassembling radios, mobile chargers and watches. Sometimes people would get irritated because of these deeds and thought that I am just breaking stuff.
When I got my first computer at 12 years, it was amazing. Using it I learnt about something called the internet which was way wonderful than books. The only thing I was interested was hacking hardware. In 2015 I heard about rubber ducky. I could never place hands one because For me in India it was a distant dream and I was just searching on youtube how to make one. some were fake some were too complicated due to which I found ethical hacking too interesting. for that, I again turned to youtube. Learnt some practical work was unable to learn things like crypto which were way boring.
Then on the internet, I saw many posts about Arduino and learnt electronics. that was the first time of me in actual DIY electronics. my first board was Arduino Uno. from then journey never stopped. I always kept researching about various dev boards-Arduino Leonardo, pro micro and the latest Raspberry pi 3. I was amused but the fact that Arduino pro micro (Leonardo) could be used as HID. Also, the Digispark was also cool. A board which myself and my friends found very interesting.
In late 2016 while I was watching ethical hacking tutorials-wifi hacking using aircrack in kali Linux, the instructor always mentioned that for cracking the wifi password, the client should authenticate with the AP. This lets me in thinking that if I kick out the client on theAP so that it will connect back then I will be able to capture authentication packets. That was the time this wifi jammer using esp8266 was born. Made my jobs much easier and enjoying it.
