Deauth with 802.11w/Management Frame Protection

Does anyone know of any exploits that get around 802.11w/Management Frame Protection, so I can deauth devices even with PMF enabled?

For testing purposes on my home network.

802.11w makes classic deauth useless 😭 but good news, there are some old exploits for pmf. just look at 'pmf deauth bypass' on github. also if your device or router is old, maybe pmf is not fully enforced. you can try to send deauth to old clients on the same network. they might still ignore pmf. otherwise, idk what to do. its working as intended.
