I'm a noob, how do I run this?

Not to be a buzzkill, but an easier way to kick a device off the network would be to just change the port they're connected on from a thru connection to a VLAN that goes nowhere. Just black hole them to hell.

in what world is that easier? running a python script is like clicking a button to launch an executable

it doesn't get easier than that

Code:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/7
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
switch(config-if)#

so much easier than running some arbitrary python script on your network.

Because ./script.py is SO difficult.

what kind of drugs do you take? I'd like some.

Running arbitrary software is never the answer when it comes to security. If you don't understand the fundamental concept of packet switching, then you're not going to understand how random scripts work.

The drugs I take would kill you. The fact that you can't engage in an informed conversation tells me that you're not here to help people.

Can't most routers do this already (with built-in functionality?)

Yes. Routers do this by switching the port to a VLAN with no access, as long as you're wired. Most home routers don't carry this functionality. Home routers with access points built in often have a MAC filter as well, but that's not effective.

hey why kick them out man . maybe just limit their speed ? it would be less rude that way .

That's why I suggested just moving their port to a VLAN black hole. In industry, we always set aside one or more VLANS that go nowhere, when we get hackers on our network we just silently move them to that VLAN. This gets really awesome when we have malicious programs and many hackers on at the same time, because then they are all on the same VLAN, and they're only on it with each other. I've always wanted to watch that case and see if they end up trying to fuck with each other thinking it's still us.

Thanks, will definitely be trying this in a few

Would this work in a Hotel?
