DISCLAIMER Credits to the developer spacehuhn for creating this project. I performed it strictly for testing it. Link to project:  ESP8266 Wifi Deauther Though the Installation files could change, the ones I have work just fine. These videos will help you to set up the project.  Link:  Video Files Link:  Files required for installation I tested the project by watching a couple of videos on YouTube.  Here's the video: I basically de-autheticated my own WiFi as you can see in the video, the connection went from *connected* to *saved*. PS: Read the disclaimer given in  ESP8266 Wifi Deauther   carefully before you proceed with the project! Good Luck!
