[App] WifiKill - disable internet for network hoggers (Android 4.x)

---

Needs ROOT




DESCRIPTION
Well, with this app you can disable internet connection for a device on the same network. So if someone (anyone) is abusing the internet wasting precious bandwidth for a Justin Bieber videoclips you could just kill their connection and stay happy with a full bandwidth just for yourself.

After a long long delay, I present to you brand new WiFiKill.

This is an early release so be gentle. New features will come after this code proves to be stable.

Sounds interesting. I'm curious, from a technical side what method does it use to accomplish this, and how long does it keep them off for?

I tried it out. Showed all the computers on my network and enabling it blocked the Internet on my computer. I was still connected to the wifi but the Internet didn't work. My brother was playing a game in the basement and when I enabled his I heard him swearing from down there. Pretty cool app.

Yes I have the same questions as post #2. Can I go to starbucks with this and punt everyone?

That's hilarious -and just a bit mean. Did it go back on once disabled it?

Yeah once you disable it works again. I have no idea how this works but it's awesome.

I am also wondering if you can goto a Starbucks or connect to a schools wifi and block everyone or if public wifis have something that my home wifi doesn't that won't let this work. I wonder if there's anyway to get caught using this.

Could you get caught? Technically, yes. If an IT person was trying to figure out what went wrong, they could figure out what manufacturer made the device (using the MAC address) and then go searching through people's pockets and bags to see what Samsung device is doing it. Will you get caught doing it at a Starbucks? No way.
Also, yes it will work on a public hotspot well.

Hell yeah!

Freakin awesome app! Ha.

Will this only work for LAN connections? Such as lets say an Xbox connected to the same network but thru wire instead of wireless?

HTC HD2

Too bad that I can't install it in my Sgs2, it says isn't compatible!!

EDIT:
My bad, I've set the dpi to 220 and the market doesn't allowed me to download it!
