While kicking devices out of a
public network that’s not
yours is kind of rude, you
might also find it rude if
someone just starts hogging
all your bandwidth through
your own connection. You can
do this through your router,
but why waste all that time
going through a configuration
page when you can kill
another device’s connection
using your phone? Android
has an app called WiFiKill,
which effectively cuts off
any device you tell it to from
your Wi-Fi network.
Please note: Do not, under
any circumstances, use this
software to interrupt the
connection of anyone on a
public network. If they’re
doing something you don’t
like, talking could solve the
problem much better than
kicking the person out. If
that’s not enough of a
motive, then perhaps you
might not like the
consequences associated with
doing something like that: You
might get in trouble with
whoever owns the network.
WiFiKill works by tricking all
devices connected to the
current network into thinking
that your Android phone is
the router. Enough talk. Let’s
get started!
Before you get started with
anything, you must know that
your phone needs to be rooted
before ever installing WiFiKill.
To root JellyBean phones,
follow this guide . I’ve
managed to test it on a
number of different Android
phones, and the process
worked with each one.
Hopefully, you should be able
to pull it off without a hitch.
If you’re running this from
an AVD emulator, you won’t
need to root the operating
system.
Now, let’s download WiFiKill.
You can use the free version
with ads, or the $3 version
without ads. Either way, you
still get the same program,
except that the paid version is
much less annoying.
Once that’s done, just tap on
the app’s “apk” file and tap
“Install.” The process should
run on its own just fine. Now,
just tap on WiFiKill and a
whole list of devices
connected to your Wi-Fi
network will show up as
different IP addresses.
Although you don’t get a
device name, you do get the
manufacturer that produced
the device’s network
interface. Any device with a
check mark next to it will have
a rejected connection,
depending on how you
configure the app. So, if
there’s something there that
you don’t recognize, you’ll
sniff that out immediately.
Before kicking out a
connection, set your
preferences correctly –
particularly, the rejection
method.
“DROP policy” represents an
explicit connection drop. That
means that any downloads
that the device had in
progress will just sit idly and
die.
“DROP policy + REJECT
target” represents a more
powerful rejection. It will stop
any future connections from
the device to any server.
If you want to be particularly
crafty, you can use the third
option: DROP policy + redirect
to 127.0.0.1:1. This redirects
any connection attempt by
the device to its own local
host, meaning that it will try
to connect to itself instead of
attempting a connection to a
remote server. Depending on
the device’s setup, it might
actually show a successful
connection, but nothing more
than that. In other words, if
you were using the device and
tried to connect to Google,
you wouldn’t get any errors,
but the page simply won’t
load because you sent a
connection request to
yourself.
Hopefully, this is useful for
those of you who have
neighbors that constantly
try to mooch off of your Wi-
Fi connection. Obviously, you
can set up a WPA/WPA2 key
for authentication to prevent
these kinds of things. But
there are still people who are
authorized to use the Wi-Fi
network that might abuse it
unknowingly. This is a way to
solve the problem on the spot
before informing the
individual of what’s going on.
