The SenSys attack tool was first published in Black Hat international event, one of the biggest and most important security conference series in the world, in the year 2010. The paper entitled “Weaponizing Wireless Networks: An Attack Tool for Launching Attacks against Sensor Networks” describes in detail all of SenSys functionalities, in an attempt to study the weaknesses of new security protocols and highlight the need for better network security mechanisms in the future.

A number of magazines (e.g., Forbes) and online services devoted stories to SenSys, describing it as a new software tool that would “allow a malicious hacker to penetrate a sensor network and change or delete data at will”.
