It's hard to learn Wi-Fi hacking without being tempted to try out the skills you're learning. Here is a Wi-Fi hacking CTF game to play using the ESP8266 that allows for Wi-Fi hackers to safely and legally practice new skills.
Ever been stuck behind a login portal after connecting to supposedly "open" Wi-Fi? This can happen on airplanes, in hotels or airports, or even at coffee shops that force you to agree to a term of service. In order to get around these distractions, we can simply scan the area for devices that are already connected, and change our MAC address to look like theirs.
This allows us to join the network without seeing the login portal. It's an awesome way to add an IoT device to an open network with a portal, as your device would otherwise get stuck behind the portal.
Directional antennas are a great way to put all of your Wi-Fi power in one direction, and they're useful for long distances or hunting down the source of a Wi-Fi signal. Unfortunately, using the antenna connector on the ESP8266 to add an antenna of our choice involves changing a resistor on the device. We'll show how to do this so you can add your own antenna to a D1 Mini Pro with an antenna connector!
Some people think that hidden Wi-Fi networks are more secure, but in reality, the opposite is often true. We'll go over why hidden networks are a terrible idea and how they can be attacked.
If you want to practice capturing handshakes on your wireless network adapter, it's actually possible to do so using a single ESP8266 device. Using a D1 Mini, we'll generate both sides of a Wi-Fi handshake, simulating a device joining a Wi-Fi network nearby. Hackers can use this to practice capturing handshakes and cracking them.
