: A bored student in a crowded city finds a Wi-Fi signal protected by an old protocol. They use a tool—the namesake WPSApp—to connect, only to find a strange file left on the local network titled wpsapp-mhkr_gift

: For users who must keep WPS enabled for legacy devices (like certain printers or smart TVs), this tool could monitor if the PIN is being targeted by brute-force attacks and suggest an immediate PIN rotation or temporary lockout.
