WiFi packet monitor using D-duino-B v2 (ESP8266)

This great project was originally created by spacehuhn. All credits go to him! I just bought things and built it to monitor my network. The only thing I’ve created on my own, was adjusting the case to better fit into my D-duino-B v2.

On this page I will describe how to build such a device.

What is it all about?

This device and software is able to monitor WiFi traffic on show you the number of packets per second on an OLED display. Additionally it will light up an LED if the so called deauth packets are detected.

Building this thing

Getting parts

Hardware: WiFi Packet Monitor (D-Duino-B v2)
3D printed case: STL | SCAD | ORIGINAL(Tom’s Infinity Blue Filament)
Software: Firmware
Software: Arduino

Assemble parts

I think there is no need to describe this in more detail.

Firmware install (Optional)

As the packet monitor from tindie is already flashed with a current version, you don’t need to do this. If you want to update your firmware later, then better follow the authors description here.
