Implementing ad-hoc AP authentication

[0l-l0]

As far as I can see, the initial AP authentication phase which requires ad-hoc WiFi connection between the smart phone app and the AC hasn't been implemented yet.

I know packet sniffing on switched networks with already connected ACs is not so difficult but what about this kind of ad-hoc connection? Have you any ideas? ...maybe any progress?

Hi @0l-l0,

I've not been working on this feature. The only thing comes into my mind is that if you have a laptop with a WiFi adapter, you can probably use Kali Linux to capture the traffic between the AC unit and your phone. You must capture the 4-way handshake too when the phone connects to the AC. You can use airodump-ng to do this. After you got all the data packets, you can decrypt them with airdecap-ng using the handshake and the password (12345678 by default). Ask if you have any questions about this process.

Hi @tomikaa87,

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm gonna try this on my Gree and let you know if it succeeds.
