evillimiter employs ARP spoofing and traffic shaping to throttle the bandwidth of hosts on the network. This is explained in detail below.Requirements
- Linux distribution
- Python 3 or greater
Installation
git clone https://github.com/bitbrute/evillimiter.git
cd evillimiter
sudo python3 setup.py installUsage
Type
evillimiter or python3 bin/evillimiter to run the tool.evillimiter will try to resolve required information (network interface, netmask, gateway address, ...) on its own, automatically.Command-Line Arguments
| Argument | Explanation |
|---|---|
-h | Displays help message listing all command-line arguments |
-i [Interface Name] | Specifies network interface (resolved if not specified) |
-g [Gateway Address] | Specifies gateway IP address (resolved if not specified) |
-n [Netmask Address] | Specifies netmask (resolved if not specified) |
-f | Flushes current iptables and tc configuration. Ensures that packets are dealt with correctly. |

scan | Scans your network for online hosts. One of the first things to do after start. |
hosts | Displays all the hosts/devices previously scanned and basic information. Shows ID for each host that is required for interaction. |
limit [ID] [Rate] | Limits bandwidth of host associated to specified ID. Rate determines the internet speed. Valid rates: bit, kbit, mbit, gbit, tbitFor example: limit 4 200kbit or limit 2 1gbit |
block [ID] | Blocks internet connection of host associated to specified ID. |
free [ID] | Unlimits/Unblocks host associated to specified ID. Removes all further restrictions. |
clear | Clears the terminal window. |
