"Educational use only", just like every other skiddie tool you can freely grab on the Internet these days.

(The bane of my existence thanks to everyone and their mother releasing ESP32 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/etc deauther 'tools'...)



Maybe actually secure your network then :D

802.11w exists


Doesn't protect against an attacker who just sends RTS + CTS packets every 50 microseconds, preventing all other wifi devices from transmitting anything (inc beacons).

As a bonus, even wireshark won't detect anything for debugging, because the RTS+CTS handshake typically can't be sent to the linux kernel+higher layers.

An ESP32 is capable of doing that on all wifi channels 'simultaneously' (ie. round robin, but getting back to the start channel within the timeout), effectively blocking all wifi.
