Tool to hack Wi-Fi devices is announced

Silica Security has just released Canvas software, including hundreds of tools that can attack any Wi-Fi network. Canvas aims to help IT professionals find ways to protect the network, but it will be a threat in the hands of bad guys.

The software runs on Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and automatically attacks any Wi-Fi connection it recognizes. This tool is controlled quite easily through the 3-button interface on the touch screen and regularly updates new "tricks".

Canvas can be installed on any handheld device to "spy" but that's just part of the idea. The company said customers who bought early were mostly police agencies.

However, the publication of the hack tool is always a double-edged sword. Although this software is sold for $ 3,600, many people are worried that hackers will spend money to buy and implement bad intentions. Silica is committed to only selling products to people with clear identities and financial resources, but they are also unsure of the distribution of the software at the "black" market.
