Wireless Access

How to block Apple AirDrop, AirPlay, AirPrint services to a group of wireless clients.

Are you using AirGroup?

I was under the impression AirDrop used bluetooth and ADhoc?

 

 

When AirDrop is activated, it uses Bluetooth to scan for nearby devices that are advertising discoverability. User can elect to be seen by everyone, only by contact, or not at all if the feature is turned off

Once a connection is established via Bluetooth, an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network is created to link the two devices together, allowing for faster transfer speeds. Basically, Bluetooth is used for discovery and token setup, while the more robust Wi-Fi protocol is leveraged for transfers.

Must have changed. It originally worked over the network.

You would need RFProtect licenses to tarpit ad hoc networks.

 

Well, that's a step forward vs spamming multicasts at least.  Now if they could just attempt to use the active WiFi network before resorting to AdHoc.
