This is not "hacker" news, as in illegal hacking, this is hacker news as in the old-school definition of hacking whereby you'd self-learn and figure things out... the word hacker in this context doesn't condone illegal activities



> whereby you'd self-learn and figure things out

Which the author of this submission did. Fearmongering about the unethical motives one might have about a vulnerability that is now about two decades old seems pretty pointless. I don't particularly enjoy the hackfluencer style of writing of the post or condone what it's supposed to do but it's at least an interesting read. Let's face it, you can get an ESP deauth image in 5 minutes if you have malicious intent, you wouldn't bother to go into the depth the author did here, which makes it interesting and imho relevant to this site.
