    # Initialize the network sniffer on the WiFi interface
    sniffer = network_sniffer.Sniffer(interface='wifi0')
    # Start sniffing packets
    sniffer.start()
    # Loop through captured packets
    for packet in sniffer.packets:
    # If packet is from OPPO Clone Phone's hotspot
    if packet.source == 'OPPO Clone Phone':
    # Print the packet content (i.e., the file being transferred)
    print(packet.content)

    This pseudocode demonstrates how an attacker can sniff network traffic from the OPPO Clone Phone’s hotspot and potentially gain unauthorized access to the files being transferred. This is a conceptual representation and actual exploitation would require more advanced techniques and tools.
