#79682 i have a problem and maybe you lot can help.



ok so, my situation is as follows:

i am going away for a break on the 31st of december.

there have been a few robberies recently in our area, so i cleverly purchased a popular wifi based home security camera system (doh)

since then i have discovered the wonderful world of deauth attacks.

yesterday, all my wifi devices dropped offline and remained so for 10 minutes, despite router showing my connection was fine.

ive no idea if this was a deauth attack or not, but now im panicking about going away!

given its christmas, i dont have time to order any specific hardware.


however i do have a couple of these lying around:


https://www.amazon.com/MHCOZY-Wireless- ... B0752P57ZG

they show up in ewelink as sonoff G1 switches.

which i believe are esp8266 based.

i also have a usb -serialadapter for flashing them.


my idea, is to load this deauth detector code:

https://github.com/spacehuhn/DeauthDetector

onto this device, modified to trigger the relay output when an attack is detected.

the relay would trigger my ancient wired home alarm.

hopefully this might scare away any attacker.

my "stretch goal" if the above is even possible would be to also incorporate the code here:

https://gist.github.com/davedarko/87183 ... bf3b23d561

which attempts to access the deauther using default username and password, changes the user/ password, and resets the device... that should confuse the less technical of attackers.



my BIG problem, is i have never done any coding, and have never used esp8266/arduino before.


im fairly confident i can use arduino on pc to upload code to the 8266, but beyond that, im in a new country..

my other big problem, obviously, is i am going away in 1 week..

can anyone help?

many thanks, Robin.
