I did something similar for macOS, my aim was to see how effective deauthing a router is (turns out it's incredibly effective, the readme has more details) and as a side effect the app shows a list of all WiFi traffic. It was a pretty fun project.

I find this interesting, because my old Apple Time Capsule was doing just fine for well over a year, especially when I changed settings to use only 5GHz and eschew all backwards compatibility. But a few months ago, I started having to occasionally reconnect machines on wifi. My wife's machine on the wired network isn't subject to this, either. I wonder if people in my apartment are experimenting with this.


You should be able to see deauth packets in Wireshark, if you are curious, provided you can put your network card in monitor mode.


The readme doesn't seem to say - how does one install/run it?


Uploaded a binary to make the usage a little easier. Haven't used it in a while but should work, give it a try: https://github.com/dom96/deauther/releases/download/v0.1.0/d...


Looks like it was written in Nim. They will likely have a getting started guide:
