A sentry that
never sleeps.
The app protects the device it runs on. The Nano protects the whole network — a small, always-on box that watches the air around the clock, so nothing slips past while you’re away or asleep.
A watchtower for your network
The WiFiThreatWatch app is excellent at defending the computer it’s installed on. But most of what’s on your network isn’t a computer — it’s phones, cameras, speakers, plugs, and a router, none of them running security software.
The Nano is our answer: a small, dedicated box that sits on your network and does one job forever — watch the air for attacks, keep a record, and share it — so the whole network is covered, not just the machine you happen to be using.
It runs the same detection engine as the app — the very same code, reused rather than reimplemented — so its verdicts line up with what you already trust. It just never has to be opened, plugged in, or awake.
Same detectors. Always on. Watching everything, and remembering it.
Five things a piece of software on your laptop simply can’t do
The app is free, and it’s the right tool for the device it runs on. The Nano exists for everything the app, by its nature, can’t reach — the hours you’re asleep, the devices with nothing installed, the history you’d want before you trust a network, and the attacks Windows can only guess at.
Always on, even when everything else is off
The app can only watch while your PC is awake. The Nano is a fixed box that watches around the clock — so an attack at 3 a.m., with every laptop in the house asleep, is still caught and written to a history you can read in the morning.
One sentry for every device on the Wi-Fi
The app protects the machine it runs on. The Nano watches the whole network — your phone, your TV, the smart plug, the camera, all the things that can’t run security software of their own. One box, the entire LAN.
Read what it saw the moment you join
The Nano keeps its own history of every attack it witnesses. When your app joins the Wi-Fi, it discovers the Nano on the LAN and reads that history over a small read-only local connection — no cloud round-trip, works even with the internet down. So instead of trusting a network blind, you can see what a resident sentry has already caught here before you commit to it.
The one thing Windows can never do
A consumer Wi-Fi card on Windows can’t enter monitor mode, so the app infers some attacks from their symptoms. The Nano is Linux with a dedicated monitor-capable radio — which is the whole reason it can chase the frontier the app never will: reading the actual 802.11 frames for real deauth floods and evil-twin beacons. The platform-independent LAN attacks — ARP spoofing, rogue DHCP — it already runs today; frame-level 802.11 is what that second radio is being built to unlock.
A watchtower that never logs off the network
Because it’s always on, the Nano is a permanent contributor to the shared threat intelligence network — every attack reported under the same guarded model as the app: the attacker’s rogue hardware documented in full, your own network hashed before anything leaves the device. One always-watching node in a neighborhood makes the next person’s warning likelier to already exist.
Small box, two radios, one job
We’re keeping the deep internals under wraps while it’s on the bench — but here’s the honest shape of what it is, and what it looks like doing its job.
It’s on the bench — not on a shelf
The Nano is a prototype. It works, we’re refining it, and there’s more we’re not ready to show yet — the details that make it quiet, reliable, and genuinely plug-and-play are exactly the parts still being sharpened. We’d rather say that plainly than dress a lab bench up as a product page.
What you can do today is run the app — it’s free, it’s the same detection engine the Nano runs, and it’s the fastest way to see this kind of protection on your own network right now.
