Let’s be honest: This is ancient, unfinished code.
Today, the term "selfish" in networking has evolved. Ethical hacking emphasizes collaboration. However, the red team mindset—where you assume everyone on the network is adversarial—was popularized by tools like SelfishNet. It taught us that on a shared medium (Wi-Fi), trust is a vulnerability.
In shared network environments, high-bandwidth activities by a single user can degrade performance for others. SelfishNet was developed as a portable solution to this "noisy neighbor" problem. Unlike standard Quality of Service (QoS) configurations that require router-level access, SelfishNet operates entirely from the client side. 2. Technical Framework and Requirements
: Allows you to set specific upload and download speed caps for each individual device. Device Blocking
: The tool offers two primary modes of "selfishness":
