Raspberry Pi enthusiasts sensing for a new project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in this new DIY Raspberry Pi WiFi jammer created by Hackster.io member Mehedi Shakeel. Classed as an easy project which should take roughly 60 minutes to complete, the project uses a Raspberry Pi 3 mini PC together with a Raspberry Pi WiFi Touchpad Keyboard, a 7.5-inch LCD Display Touch Screen, and a Makeblock MIXZA Memory Card 32GB Class 10.
Components and Setup
To get started, you will need to gather all the necessary components. The Raspberry Pi 3 is the core of this project, providing the processing power and connectivity needed to create the WiFi jammer. The WiFi Touchpad Keyboard and the 7.5-inch LCD Display Touch Screen are used for input and output, making it easier to interact with the Raspberry Pi. The 32GB Class 10 memory card is essential for storing the Raspbian operating system and any additional software required for the project.
Once you have all the components, the first step is to install the Raspbian operating system on the Raspberry Pi. Raspbian is a Debian-based operating system optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware. It provides a user-friendly interface and a wide range of pre-installed software, making it an ideal choice for this project.
Building the WiFi Jammer
Check out the video below to learn more about creating your very own Raspberry Pi WiFi jammer using a Raspbian operating system installation as your base. “Learn how you can make a WiFi jammer using a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Install. You don’t need to install Kali Linux on your Raspberry Pi. In this video, I will show you how to make a WiFi jammer using Raspberry Pi 3.”
The video tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to set up the WiFi jammer. It covers everything from installing the necessary software packages to configuring the Raspberry Pi to disrupt WiFi signals. The process involves using specific commands and scripts to scan for available WiFi networks and send deauthentication packets to disconnect devices from their networks.
It’s important to note that while building a WiFi jammer can be an interesting and educational project, it should be used responsibly and ethically. Jamming WiFi signals can disrupt legitimate communications and is illegal in many jurisdictions. Always ensure you have permission to test and use the jammer in a controlled environment.
