Flash back to 1.0 then 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and see if it works

@moonpie000 ok ill try that
mansourxz
on 12 Feb 2018
Do not try what @moonpie000 suggested. It ruined my esp8266. I dont really care because i have a crap ton of these thing.

I was about to try it! Thankfully I was lazy enough not to do it..... I also think i found another way to remove the error. RESET the esp8266 and reflash 1.6

@pow674 ur method does not work unfortunately.

This error can occur when you will try to attack an AP that's on a different frequency than the deauther's AP's frequency. (for ex. Your deauther is set to be on channel 1. You want to deauth an AP that is on channel 11. You start the attack and then instantly the deauther will switch channels and your phone is now unable to communicate to the ESP, and that's when the error "error loading attackinfo.json" comes. Now you need to disconnect from the deauther's AP and reconnect to it, after that reload the page and the error should be gone.)
Now some more details attackinfo.json
attackinfo.json shows in the browser which attack is running and it's packetrate. I think that it refreshes every second when in the Attacks tab. If the browser is unable to refresh this file, it displays that error. Why is it unable to refresh this file?
First, the ESP may have switched channels when you started an attack.
Solution: Before trying to deauth an AP, check what channel is it at, and change the ESP's channel to that before starting an attack.
Second, the deauther firmware itself might have encountered an error and crashed.
Solution: Reset ESP and try again. If it still doesn't work, connect the ESP to your PC, get it's serial output from serial monitor and open a new issue here, or you can try to read the serial output and try to fix it yourself.
Third, the ESP is damaged or the deauther firmware has been corrupted or flashed incorrectly.
Solution: (-> to be continued...)
