Credits
This is a very simple wrapper around much much bigger work of guys @seemoo-lab - it uses owl for low-level AirDrop network layer as well as opendrop for some app level - HUGE shout-out for them for reverse enineering all of this!!!
Supported hardware and platforms
As noted on owl repo, you need WiFi card that supports active monitor mode - you can quickly check it by running:
$ iw list | grep "active monitor"
# You should see:
> Device supports active monitor (which will ACK incoming frames)
If you don't have it, then I'm sorry, but it probably won't work :disappointed:
For now, easydrop only works on Linux (amd64 arch) (owl itself works on MacOS too, but you already have AirDrop there :laugh:)
You will also need to install libpcap, libev and libnl:
on Debian: sudo apt install libpcap-dev libev-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev
on Fedora: sudo dnf install libpcap-devel libev-devel libnl3-devel
on other distros: idk, you can do it :muscle:
owl is already included in the package :wink:
// TODO: Include those dependencies in package
TODO:
Sending files - may require more work to also advertise BLE beacons to wake up receivers
