Hi Guys,
Im currently dealing with an undesirable housemate situation. long story short : very hard to get payment from a housemate, that housemate got annoyed when asked recently for payment and has a tech savvy partner.
i dont know whether im being attacked by an arp spoofing/dos software like wifikill or netcut. Ive been having trouble connecting my iphone with my home wifi.
it happens only to my phone though and according to google, iphone 6s does have some WiFi connection problems. but recently ive been getting disconnected form my wifi and when i try to connect again it says incorrect wifi password. ok i googled that too and apparently could be an IOS caused problem.
but the weird thing is it happens only when the person is at home and only started recently (the incorrect password and extreme wifi disruption). Yesterday when the person wasn't at home, my connection was ok. but when the person came back i kept getting disconnected and prompted wifi password incorrect.
Then last night up until 2am my phone kept getting disconnected.i literally had to stay in a specific spot last night to minimise the number of times i got disconnected, move a little to the left or right and i would lose connection immediately. This morning (without shutting down my phone or anything) my wifi connection with my phone was normal, i walked all around my room and the connection was strong and good. The person left the house this morning by 6am hence why i have my suspicion.
Im the only iphone user in that house so if you were to target me you would know the only iphone on the list belongs to me. i dont usually bring my laptop back home so i cant verify if its just my iphone or all my other devices plus im usually on my phone in the house anyways.
basically i just would like to know if i am under attack by any sort of ARP spoofing/dos/MITM attack and how in the world can i protect myself.
obviously google has been my good friend here, i have no strong grasp of ARP how it works, the difference between dos and spoofing or the inner mechanism on how you can disrupt someones WiFi connection and showing websites visited by 'grabbed device' and how would a device react to a DOS attack i.e. youre still connected to WiFi but its slow or you get disconnected completely?
also some insight, im an introvert who avoids confrontation hence why i rather just find out how to protect myself rather than confront that person and no, moving out is not an option at this moment.
please please help.
wifikill/netcut victim maybe?, how to know if im a victim of DOS
