I was introduced to commercials for the Talkboy tape recorder when I was a child. As seen in Home Alone 2, they promised you a life of pranking, a great way to annoy siblings and loved ones.
Since then, the world has changed and gadgets have become more powerful. They now have the ability to kick someone off of the internet for as long as you want.
The Dstike Deauther watch is easy to understand. The ESP8266 is a cheap and simple chip that is used in a lot of tech. You probably have at least a few of these chips in your home.
There is a screen on top of the chip and a battery that runs a Deauther tool. Any device can be kicked off of a 2.4G wi-fi network with it. According to Spacehuhn, the Dstike is not a jamming device, which you should definitely not buy, since a jamming device can interfere with emergency services and is very likely illegal in your area.
The Deauther tool works by using deauthentication frames to tell a device to stop connecting to the internet. You are trying to get someone to stop using their phone or computer.
It is very annoying that a device can be knocked off of its wi-fi network. You can do a beacon attack, which will let you create a fake access point with your name on it, or a probe attack, which will confuse the wi-fi tracker. If you're already wearing something that looks like that, you should take it to its logical conclusion.
If you want to use other software, you can get it on the ESP8266 development board. The ESP8266 chip only works on 2.4 GHz, so the script doesn't pose a risk to all networks.
It's a minor thing. Spacehuhn wants to bring attention to a huge flaw in older wi-fi implementations and give a tool to test against them. There are protections against this in many new routers.
The attack doesn't do much by itself other than force you to log in again, but there are still a lot of older devices out there. A Deauther tool like this could be used to get a target off a legitimate network and onto an attacker controlled network to launch an injection attack.
The goal of the project is to be used to secure your own network rather than annoying your neighbor over a period of months. There isn't a novel or special about the watch. You can put an ESP8266 board on the watch and it will run a script that you can use.
Yes, that's right. There is a lot of information on how to set it up in the internet. This is probably one of the more accessible hacking tools out there since the watch is just a fun package. If you want to try messing with this stuff for your own personal security testing, there are lots of great guides to help you set it up.
The watch has a web interface that you can use to connect to your phone or computer. It's a good idea to use it on your own networks.
It could be used as a watch. Sometimes the brutally functional is what you need, even if it is just a raw black PCB. It's a kind of anti-Apple Watch with a focused purpose and a hackers-inspired sense of style.
