How many amazing and funny things come from China! Among the trinkets like plastic dogs with LEDs and flashlights, there are devices of dubious legality. For example, GSM and GPS jammers are sold freely, and if the former can still be useful to particularly sophisticated examiners at institutes, then it’s difficult to think of using the second for some reason.
The other day
Wifi Box Network Unlocker went on sale, a device positioned by the manufacturer as “allowing to open networks with WEP and simple WPA protection” (WPA-PSK and WPA2 - does not accept).

Now, technically uncorrupted users do not need to deal with kismet themselves, how to collect packages and set aircrack on them - all you need is in the box.
In fact, the device is a normal USB-WiFi interface. But in the complete set there is a disk with BackTrack 3 and a detailed instruction with pictures, at the level “in this window press the second button to the right”. And in the features of the device (counting on a rise in sales of this, apparently), proudly flaunts "Can crack passwords from wireless networks."
Unfortunately, it is still possible to easily find many poorly protected points with WEP, and a considerable part is in organizations. If someone of your acquaintances still has a weak defense - do not forget to remind them to upgrade it (although, I think, the habrovans of all their own have long been warned :))

Very amused by the warning about "low-quality fakes" on the official website, including a footnote:
"
* Other brands requires more time for password unlocking. "
Of course, still :)
