AURSINC launched the 'Deauther Watch V4,' the latest iteration in the company's lineup of network-manipulating timepieces. This watch appears like a smartwatch with a simplistic menu that displays the time and houses a number of other options. These options allow the wearer to monitor a network, connect to a new network, pose as a network, monitor packets sent over a network, or "attack" a network.
The network and packet monitoring features are helpful for keeping a personal wi-fi connection safe. The device can alert the wearer if a new device connects to a home wi-fi, and the watch is capable of "attacking" this new connection, immediately deauthorizing it from the network, hence the name "Deauther Watch." The Deauther Watch V4 is also capable of testing network speeds and connection strength. Lastly, the device is programmable, allowing developers to add new features to the watch, if desired.
