Built-in access point protection ( and its drawbacks) Owners of iOS7 devices might have nothing to worry about. I have no experience on iOS ( editing is welcome!), but there are hints that iOS7 employs some ARP spoofing mitigation techniques - possibly slow-caching, glean-refusal, gratuitous-refusal or others. Downside: to fully protect a device you need to tamper with its network stack at a low level, so defense needs root too. I am far from sure since I haven't tested it personally, but this seems what applications like ARP Guard, ARPProtect or WiFi Protector do.

Android apps protecting from WiFiKill ( root may be required)

I found one for $180 - if this AP reset I'm going to try does not work, we'll need to think about purchasing a new AP. The same approach can be used to drive home economic threats ('We need a new wireless access point with a stronger antenna. Not anyone's fault, but still - can you tell me when you're going to have a long gaming session?'). You can tune the 'coincidence' you notice, in order to try and work out a compromise ('Probably when you play online games on your phone a weird combination of bandwidth, access point chip brand and magnetosphere resonance disconnects my phone. This could be a minimally confrontational way of clearing the air. This will reassure him that you accuse him of no wilful wrongdoing - but at the same time it will be clear that you're onto something. After a while grasping at straws, you can latch on the real coincidence ('The network disconnects me only when you are home') and suggest he takes his phone to the shop for a repair. You might start spawning conspiracy theories by asking him whether it is likely that there's an incompatibility between your (not his!) phone and the AP, or start noticing unlikely coincidences ('Every time the microwave starts, the connection drops'). and then no bandwidth, and a whole evening of listening to you whining and ranting about unreliable hardware.

After some time, he will come to understand that every time he uses WFK, he gains a few minutes' full bandwidth. He (and you too) will then have to reinsert the key. Change your WPA key and give it to him again, saying you had to reset the blasted thing yet again ('it keeps disconnecting'). For example: you can start complaining about your unstable access point and begin resetting it to factory defaults every now and then. You can start making life difficult for him, and have him perceive it is caused by his behaviour, without ever saying so. and assuming you do have the right to the connection, i.e., it is (in part at least) your access point and Internet connection, not his. Why does he need to use WiFiKill? Does he need to?īut supposing you don't want, or can't, get him face to face.

You could ask your roommate to quit being a jerk, and/or establish some acceptable usage policy and/or timetable. To be able to do that again you would need to manually prime your device's ARP cache with values you know to be correct (a.k.a. This would prevent you from talking to any device in the WLAN. There is nothing you can do on your device as is ( rooting changes matters: see below) - you would need to deploy an IP filter on the same, and drop all ARP packets. it floods all the devices on the WLAN and attempts to impersonate the access point. WifiKill uses a simple ARP spoofing, i.e.
