Hmm, they look very similar! Never heard of dhcdrop before. I'd imagine you could accomplish everything with dhcdrop that you could with dhcpwn (specifically with the -F flag).

However, dhcpwn's code is probably easier on the eyes, and more prone to hacking on :)

Primary goal of dhcdrop is to monitor network for rogue (e.g. misconfigured, technically not in whitelist) DHCP servers and automatically supress them. Is this supported in dhcpwn?

There is a sniff feature (https://github.com/mschwager/dhcpwn/blob/master/dhcpwn.py#L30), but it's not very advanced. With a little bit of work I'm sure it could provide that functionality.
