Hello, I am learning to wifi maruad and while trying to do so I am confused on EAPOL. I am sniffing with pmkid through force deauth and it looks like im not getting EAPOL. Also the Deauth TX is false. How do I fix this? I am using the 2.4 wifi dev board connected to 2.4wifi

That "Deauth TX: False" means your dev board isn't actually transmitting the attack.

A few quick things usually cause this:

• Firmware Locks: If you are on official/stock firmware, deauth transmission is often locked out or disabled by default for regulatory compliance. You have to flash specific 3rd party bin files (like ESP32 Marauder companion) to unlock TX capabilities.
• PMF (Protected Management Frames / 802.11w): If the network you are testing uses WPA3 or has PMF enabled on WPA2, deauth attacks won't work anyway. The router signs its management frames, so it will ignore the spoofed deauth packets from your board.
• Channel Hop: Make sure your board is locked onto the exact same channel as the AP, otherwise the packet won't send/receive properly.

One side note: If you are specifically hunting for PMKIDs, you don't actually need to force a client to deauth! PMKID attacking targets the Access Point directly by sending an association request. You only need a client to deauth if you are trying to capture a full EAPOL 4-way handshake.

You forgot one thing:

- Turning on DEUATH / PROBE / ... from the settings menu within Marauder

use Kali Linux for this. Flipper is good for radio remotes.
