I've got a home network using Wi-Fi. Someone is using mdk3 and disconnects users from the Access Point, whether they are Android or Windows Phone or Windows 10 desktop or Apple computers.

Is there a way to protect against attacks? Is there a way to know the attacker?

Is there a way to protect against attacks?

Sadly you cannot stop an attacker from sending deauthentication packets.

But to minimize damage make sure you use WPA2 with a long good password. An attacker will usually send deauthentication packets so he can capture a handshake and brute force it to gain the WiFi password. By having a hard to crack password you are making the attack much harder and longer and in some cases almost impossible.

Is there a way to know attacker ?

As said in the comments, the attacker is probably close by so walk around a little and find him.

You can read a little more about the subject in this answer.

  • I do now know of a program but I would assume that even if there was one it would require you to root your phone – Bubble Hacker Nov 13 '16 at 20:47

Hide your wifi SSID, change your channel and lower your router signal strength.

If still facing a problem, then install Wireshark. Then you will know who is attacking.

    None of those things will prevent someone who knows your network exists. Wireshark will not tell you who is attacking. None of this answer will help. – schroeder Apr 23 '19 at 19:06
