Have you ever experienced this, friends? When you’re trying to sleep at night, your roommate is still online playing League of Legends or Honor of Kings. At that moment, have you ever felt powerless to cut off their internet? Here, I will teach you how to use the ESP8266 to create a device that can cut off WiFi, teaching your roommate a lesson!
First, go to the GitHub page of the ESP8266 Deauther by the foreign expert: https://github.com/spacehuhn/esp8266_deauther
Buy a small ESP8266 board on Taobao, it’s not expensive. Check the model of your board and the CP chip model as shown in the image below, so you can download the corresponding driver files and the bin files later.
Next, download the bin file from this address: https://github.com/spacehuhn/esp8266_deauther/releases
Download as shown in the image below and save it where you want.
Then download and install the driver for the ESP8266 board, CP2102.
Download link: https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
Click to download as shown in the image below, and the installation will not be elaborated here.
Next, plug the ESP8266 board into your computer.
If the driver is installed successfully, your computer will recognize the ESP8266 module as shown in the image below, indicating that everything is ready and you can start flashing the firmware.
Next, download the firmware flashing software NodeMCU-flasher.
Download link: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher/blob/master/Win64/Release/ESP8266Flasher.exe
Click download.
Double-click to open the downloaded exe file, it will automatically recognize the COM port number of the ESP8266. Configure the software as shown in the image below, then click flash. After the flashing is complete, a checkmark will appear in the lower left corner of the software, and during the flashing process, the ESP8266 module will keep flashing.
After the flashing is complete, unplug the ESP8266 and power it on. Of course, powering it with a power bank is also perfectly fine.
Connect to the ESP8266’s WiFi, named pwned, password deauther.
Open the browser and enter 192.168.4.1 in the address bar to log in.
Set up to start attacking the specified WiFi hotspot as shown in the images below:
Once you see the image below, the specified WiFi has been successfully cut off.
Finally, interested readers can also refer to the official documentation to compile and flash the firmware using other methods, such as Arduino IDE as shown in the image below.
