THE BEAST Lab

Explore POOM wireless-security labs for channel discovery, deauthentication defense, KARMA, and NFC Type A communication.

THE BEAST is the defensive-security toolkit of POOM: the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC CLI, PCAP, and 802.15.4 tools you reach from the main menu under THE BEAST. This chapter turns each tool into a small, self-contained experiment so you can learn what it does, watch it work against your own gear, and understand the protocol behind it. The NFC Type A and Zigbee / 802.15.4 lessons live here too.

Responsible Use: every experiment here transmits or manipulates real radio traffic. Run these tests only against networks, devices and radios you own or are explicitly authorized to assess. Deauthentication, rogue access points, beacon floods and ARP spoofing are illegal against third-party networks in most jurisdictions.

Legal reminder: POOM's offensive capabilities are for authorized penetration testing, controlled labs, and defensive research only. Use them exclusively with explicit permission and in compliance with local law.
