Free802.11
Send arbitrary IEEE 802.11 frames using Espressif ESP32 by reverse-engineering the closed-source WiFi stack.
What is Free802.11?
ESP32 802.11 Freedom Output is a reverse-engineered library that allows sending arbitrary IEEE 802.11 frames on Espressif ESP32 microcontrollers. It bypasses the closed-source limitations of Espressif's WiFi stack by exploiting the hidden `ieee80211_freedom_output` function, enabling custom low-level WiFi packet transmission.
Embedded developers and WiFi researchers who need to experiment with raw 802.11 frame transmission on ESP32 hardware for mesh networking, long-range communication, or security testing.
It provides unique low-level WiFi control on ESP32 where official APIs are restricted, enabling advanced wireless experimentation not possible with standard SDKs.
