#88000 Hi All - Following up

I apologize for the rookie question but just started a few days ago w/a 'standalone' esp8266 (I don't have an Arduino - yet :D ). I have put different firmwares on the board and deauthed up a storm on my own Wifi. Also put up micro python. So taking some baby steps...

I am really curious about creating a simple program that would send a deauth packet and the capture the 'pcap' to try to crack my own Wifi. I can do this easily with a rasp pi and 'aircrack'.

I spend time following up on the links here and on the 'net. But still sort of scratching my head how to make use of those programs.

i.e How to a take say "https://github.com/quantum-x/esp8266-deauth/tree/master" and use it on the esp8266? In my mind I think I would need to load a full new firmware and somehow put these file 'on top' of it, yes?

#88009 No to mention that is is almost certainly illegal in most countries - why people even want to do this is beyond me.

If this were my board, I'd delete the post.

The github file is an ino file which Arduino understands. It is basically a C/C++ file. So you would load it into Arduino IDE as a sketch and upload it. I figured that part out as far as the steps. I don't know 'why' or 'how' it works or how to do much else. But those are the steps. I opened a different post for that.
