Color me unimpressed...

Pretty much any laptop's wifi card these same capabilities (Packet sniffing + inejection), but if you've ever run airmon / aircrack on a neighbor's network, you'll notice that:

* Monitoring unencrypted traffic is trivial

* Cracking WEP is nearly trivial

* Cracking WPA2 is only easy if the pre-shared key is short or in the dictionary

If you confirm your drone to ignore deauthentication requests and use a more secure password than "abcdefgh", this attack won't work. Unless of course all of WPA2 is broken, in which case, we're all fucked.
