DeauthDetector
Detects Wi-Fi deauthentication attacks using an ESP8266 microcontroller by monitoring for malicious management frames.
What is DeauthDetector?
DeauthDetector is an open-source hardware project that uses an ESP8266 microcontroller to detect Wi-Fi deauthentication attacks. It monitors wireless traffic for malicious deauthentication or disassociation frames and provides a visual alert via an LED. This helps users identify when their Wi-Fi network is being targeted by a common type of wireless disruption attack.
IoT enthusiasts, hardware tinkerers, and individuals interested in wireless network security who want a low-cost, DIY solution for monitoring Wi-Fi attacks.
It offers a simple, affordable, and customizable alternative to commercial wireless security tools, leveraging widely available ESP8266 hardware and open-source code for transparency and adaptability.
