(-c 00:0F:B5:34:30:30 ath0) :) for security reasons you should write 00:11:22:33:44:55... anyway... And second question.. isn`t this attack disconects your own interface from the AP and reconect it again the number of times that you want? (you choose 50 times) to capture more packets due to the trafic generation? maybe... and im just speculating you should have made the attack to the broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:) so everyone get disconected from the AP? Sorry if i made mistakes in my poor english :) I was wondering… did u put your own mac address in the example?

Not after hearing about all the fun and profit you can have with tools such as KARMA. Can't wait for a nationwide rollout of 4G cell networks which implement at least a basic form of authentication / encryption. I *never* connect to unsecured wireless networks anymore.

Don't misinterpret my pathetic attempts at comic relief with being malevolent. :-) Using a deauthentication attack only kicks off clients for an instant, not permanently, and it is extremely effective at resolving problems with overloaded APs.

If I were the owner of the business you do this to, I'd be fairly upset when / if I discovered you are actively blocking or resetting other guests' connection to the web I provide for them to use.
