Beacon stuffing
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2014 3:42 pm
Hi All,
I'd like to put some information in the Beacon sent from the softap. See this article for an example.
http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/7348 ... uffing.pdf
My beacon looks like:
Cell 05 - Address: 1A:FE:34:99:EC:51
Channel:3
Frequency:2.422 GHz (Channel 3)
Quality=70/70 Signal level=-32 dBm
Encryption key:off
ESSID:"ESP_99EC51"
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s
9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Mode:Master
Extra:tsf=000000000668bba5
Extra: Last beacon: 628ms ago
IE: Unknown: 000A4553505F393945433531
IE: Unknown: 010882848B960C121824
IE: Unknown: 030103
IE: Unknown: 32043048606C
and I'd like to put some information in the "IE" fields (information elements) above. My application will have security set to:
config.authmode = AUTH_OPEN;
so these fields won't be used at all. I sifted through the code but couldn't find a way to change this info. Anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks for any help.
Rick
