Ever been annoyed at the thought of someone hoppin' onto your protected Wi-Fi network? One of those people who considers Google Glass users to be “Glassholes” who are surveying your every move? Originally designed for detecting drones, hidden microphones, and security cameras, Cyborg Unplug can show “Glassholes” who's boss. Its creator, Julian Oliver, came up with the idea after designing an open source code, called “glasshole.sh”, specifically for knocking Google Glass devices from private Wi-Fi networks.

Cyborg Unplug, which is essentially just a tiny router (or anti-router), is used to detect any devices using your network, signaling an alarm, then disconnecting it. It has been created mainly for schools, restaurants, offices, and other public places where networks are open or passwords are given to customers. Oliver explains,

“Every wireless device has a unique hardware signal assigned to it by the manufacturer. These signatures are broadcast by wireless devices as they probe for, connect to, and use wireless networks. Cyborg Unplug sniffs the air for these signatures, looking for devices its owner has selected to ban. If a banned device is discovered, an alarm is triggered”

De-authentication signals are sent to disconnect any monitoring or spying device, such as Google Glass, dropcams, drones, wireless microphones, and more. Unlike a jammer, which is illegal in some cases, Cyborg Unplug doesn't use noise to disrupt signals. However, that doesn't stop the possibility of Cyborg Unplug being used in an illegal manner. In so called ”All Out Mode”, Cyborg Unplug can break off any Wi-Fi network a targeted device has in the area, which Oliver “advises against”. Yes, this means your smartphone could spontaneously be connection deficient.

Actually, on the company website the following is explained: “We take no responsibility for the trouble you get yourself into if you choose to deploy your Cyborg Unplug in this mode”. Fair enough, but who's to say users wouldn't still abuse such a mode? Further, the gadget still doesn't stop one of the biggest annoyances when it comes to Google Glass and other surveillance, being photographed or recorded (you'll just have to cover your face for that one). Cyborg Unplug will be available in two models starting September 30th; $50 for a basic package, and $100 for an upgraded version.
