Just to set things clear, the researchers didn’t intend to hack unknowing users when they developed Chameleon, but rather to merely demonstrate the vulnerability of a Wi-Fi network and how such virus can eventually infect other wireless devices. Of course, Marshall’s team didn’t give a lot of insights on how they developed Chameleon so as to not serve as a reference to real-life hackers. The study also showed that the Chameleon has the potential to spread across other wireless networks, making it a very potent tool for hackers if not addressed quickly.
