HELP

help
Prints out list with all commands.

SCAN

scan [<all/aps/stations/wifi>] [-t <time>] [-c <continue-time>] [-ch <channel>]
Starts scan with given parameters.
Modes (optional, default = all):

  • all (-a)

  • aps (-ap)

  • stations (-st)

  • wifi (-w)
    Mode must be the first parameter! time [-t] (optional, default = 15s): How long it should scan for stations (client devices) in seconds.
    continue [-c] (optional): How many seconds until it should scan again.
    channel [-ch] (optional): Only scan on a specific channel, instead of going through them all automatically.
    To scan indefinitely set the time to 0, i.e. scan stations -t 0.
    The difference between mode stations and mode wifi is that stations will only scan on channels that are used by at least one access point.
    The wifi scan mode also doesn't require an access point scan first and is recommended for using the deauth detection and packet monitor feature.

Please don't use this command within a script! It won't work but it might lead to errors or unexpected behaviour.

WRITE

write <file> <commands>
Writes (appends) a command to the given file and saves it.
Please note that this command has, like all commands, a limit of 512 characters and therefor shouldn't be used to write extensive files. There is a better way to upload files to the SPIFFS explained in the tutorials.md file.

INFO

info
Shows version number, copyright info, and link to GitHub.

COMMENT

// <comments>
Commands that begin with # will be printed out as they are and not be tried to execute.
There must be a space between the hash sign and the comments.
The hash sign also has to be at the beginning of the command!

SEND

send deauth <AP-MAC> <ST-MAC> <reason> <channel>
send beacon <mac> <ssid> <ch> [wpa2]
send probe <mac> <ssid> <ch>
Sends single packet out with giving parameters.

You can also sent out custom packets with: send packet <packet>
The packet must be a hexadecimal string devided by : and with a leading zero.
It's only recommended to use this feature if you have experience on how the ESP8266 handles sending custom defined packets.
Copy pasting packets out of Wireshark is very unlikely to work.
Also note that you're still limited to 512 characters per command!

LED

led <r> <g> <b>
Changes LED color based on input.
Be sure to disable the LED updates (see command below), if you don't want the color the be rewritten by a scan or attack.

led <#rrggbb>
Changes LED color based on input in form of a hex value.
The value must start with a # and have 6 following characters.

DELAY

delay <time>

delay 1000 will wait one second.
But you can also specify the delay time in seconds directly:
delay 1s.

DRAW

draw [<height>] [<width>]
Draws packet monitor graph.
Will only work if you run a wifi scan first, i.e. scan wifi -t 65s -ch 1.

  • height (optional, default = 25): Height of the graph in characters.

  • width (optional, default = 2): Width in characters per bar in graph.

STARTAP

startap [-p <path][-s <ssid>] [-pswd <password>] [-ch <channel>] [-h] [-cp]
