*** WifiKill: Best app ever!!! ***

[strodda]

If you haven't heard of it, it scans the network your phone is connected to and gives you the ability to kick off any andall users from the network. I've tried it, and it does work. Today while walking by an Apple Store, I decided to connect and see what showed up.

It worked perfectly! Haha and ha!

Okay...I'll bite.
Where did you "find" this?

I just did a search for it after reading an article about it. It was actually in the android market for a bit, before google pulled it. But it can still be found elsewhere.

Not on the market? Not on my phone.


And tell people it's for rooted phones only and $3.

Thanks, but I wasn't too worried about telling people that. It's not my app and I wasn't advertising it. Just posting about my experiment.

Don't believe it. Show it on Youtube or something

Hijacking everybody's WiFi access at an Apple store and living to tell about it?
Naaah, sounds unlikely.

Post the .apk...

 

[A.Nonymous]

How does it actually work?

 

[Saltine713]

I don't think it can, because you would need admin access of the Wifi

 

[chrisjz]

it works. I have the apk and have tried it multiple times at my house. Google it and you'll find it.

 

[strodda]

How does it actually work?

ARP spoofing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

which is probably why google removed it... too late though.

 

[MaximeV]

I have the apk

So post it!
Purely for educational purposes, of course.

Heres the link i got mine from. Im not sure if the OP is the creator of the app, but he does update the apks.
[App] WifiKill - disable internet for network hoggers - xda-developers

 

[strodda]

Its not my app. I read about it and wanted to see if it really worked.

I seriously doubt anyone who is browsing an Apple store that suddenly lost wifi connectivity would be sharp enough to realize that they're having wifi problems because of that odd guy outside the store that's laughing his ass off. They probably would be massively confused because Apple products should never fail, ever.

So, if this app can do this, it would be massively entertaining to do, as long as it was done in humor and not done to purposely deny someone their internet service. There is that fine line between joke and cruelty that shouldn't be crossed.

Google

Since you are not the dev and won't care about the $3 - post the apk.

Not to mention illegal.

Not to mention illegal.

if that's illegal, then the dev's other app called faceniff would get someone the death penalty. do a search and read about it. I found it by accident while reading about wifikill. His other app is quite scary. I don't think I will use a public wifi ever again.

It doesn't look any different than Firesheep. Same functionality, different platform. People should have no expectation of privacy on an open network. You are out in public screaming your information at the world.

Yeah, it's like sending a postcard: everybody who takes the trouble to look can read it. It's basically out in the open. The same as email. If you don't want that you will need to encrypt your messages/traffic.
