This components main purpose is to bypass Wi-Fi Stack Libaries blocking mechanism that disallows sending some types of raw 802.11 frames.
It's based on ESP32-Deauther project, where the function used to check type of frame in frame buffer was decompiled by Ghidra tool and it's name ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check
was found.
The princip of this bypass is to use linker flag during compilation that allows multiple function definitions - -Wl,-zmuldefs
. This allows this component to override default function behaviour and always return value that allows further transmittion of frame buffer by Wi-Fi Stack Libraries.
This is done in CMakeLists.txt by following line:
target_link_libraries(${COMPONENT_LIB} -Wl,-zmuldefs)
And the function itself is defined in wsl_bypasser.c as:
int ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check(int32_t arg, int32_t arg2, int32_t arg3){
return 0;
}
