absal0m has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

perl has been a miracle to me. It has simplified the tasks on my servers and made other things that were complex on other programming languages simple and quick.

I want to create a simple wifi "jammer" by sending deauth packets, but I honestly have not found a way to send deuath packets. Is there anyone here who knows how to create and send deauth packets in perl?

I do not need a full explaination of how (even though it would be nice), but rather a simple nudging in the right direction. Thanks so much

    Allow me to paraphrase:

    "Dear hardware store. Your crowbar has been a miracle to me. I want to break into someone's house by breaking the lock, but I honestly have not found a way to break the lock. Is there anyone here who knows how to break the lock with a crowbar?"

    The papal hats around here tend to be a few shades lighter than the kind of help you seem to be looking for.

    From my (recent and meager) experience, it seems that any modern, well-configured access point will have encryption turned on, such that sending a deauth for this purpose requires a high degree of knowledge of the client's credentials and its secret knowledge. Furthermore, anyone who can spoof the target client, will surely have the skilz to send a simple deauth packet too. And anyone who can do that, can easily do the same for an open system.

    As this is your first query here on the Monastery, I'm a little suspicious of your motives and the color of your hat =)

    No thanks, committing felonies leads to federal prison time, go away

      How do you know the OP is in legal jurisdiction where this is a 'felony'? The OP may be trying it on their own WiFi, or attempting to vulnerability test for a client. They may be in a land where they are free to do what they want with their own kit, in their own home.

      Cheers,
