• Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop

  Would be cool if we sometime would get https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop as an android app (but it would only work with rooted devices). This would allow to send and recieve files to iPhones from android via Apples Airdrop protocol. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• A passenger airdropped a bomb threat to everyone on the plane.

  Https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop not like you can't spoof airdroping... Some hacker on the plane is laughing, this poor sob has no idea why he is having to spend a shitload on a lawyer. Source: 10 months ago

• Smartphone sales are so bad even the holidays couldn’t help, says IDC

  I guess that wouldn't be convenient because they'd have to press several buttons. Possibly also Airdrop is faster? It uses direct wi-fi transfer (and bluetooth at the same time, somehow). Seems there are open-source reverse-engineered implementations written in C and Python: OWL in C, OpenDrop in Python. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there any way to get AirDrops on a Windows Laptop?

  I've been trying to make getting AirDrops on my Laptop possible for some time now and I can't do it. My best attempt yet was using opendrop inside of a WSL, but it didn't work. So I wanted to asked if anyone has a way that works to get AirDrops on a Windows Laptop. Source: over 1 year ago

  I have posted a question before and u/ryansheraa and u/The_SamminAter said that airdrop could be on iOS 6 with a tweak based on OpenDrop. Can someone make an airdrop tweak for ios 6? It would be very helpful. https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop. Source: over 2 years ago

• unlimited power

  (https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop) You can, you’d probably need to buy one of those cheap wifi adapters (such as TP-Link Archer T1U which seems to work great according to one of the GitHub issues) since the one you probably have on your computer won’t have active monitor mode on your wifi card.

• AirDrop Anywhere – Making it work on Windows

  "it is unlikely that a non-Apple device has hardware support for adhoc wireless connections between devices. This makes implementation of AirDrop directly on non-Apple devices practically impossible without additional hardware. Instead we’ll implement a proxy..." I get what they mean here, but it has been done. It does require a Wi-Fi card with support for monitor mode and frame injection. OWL did it with... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
