ESP8266 Beacon Spam
An Arduino sketch for ESP8266 that advertises hundreds of custom WiFi SSIDs via beacon frames as a fun hacking project.
What is ESP8266 Beacon Spam?
ESP8266 Beacon Spam is an Arduino sketch that programs an ESP8266 microcontroller to broadcast hundreds of custom WiFi network names (SSIDs) via beacon frames. It simulates the presence of numerous WiFi access points without actually creating functional networks, serving as an educational tool for learning about WiFi packet injection and hardware hacking.
Beginners and hobbyists interested in electronics, Arduino programming, and WiFi security research who want a simple, hands-on project to understand wireless networking concepts.
It offers a straightforward, hackable codebase that demystifies WiFi packet injection, making it accessible for learning and experimentation without the complexity of larger projects like the ESP8266 Deauther.
Overview
Creates up to a thousand WiFi access points with custom SSIDs.
Use Cases
Best For
- Learning WiFi packet injection basics
- Educational demonstrations of beacon frames
