DIY version if you want to try it out .. just download Kali/Backtrack or compile aircrack-ng

Subject: Marriott wifi blocking

Saw this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/03/travel/marriott-fcc-wi-fi-fine/

The interesting part:

'A federal investigation of the Gaylord Opryland Resort and
Convention Center in Nashville found that Marriott employees
had used "containment features of a Wi-Fi monitoring system"
at the hotel to prevent people from accessing their own
personal Wi-Fi networks.'

I'm aware of how the illegal wifi blocking devices work, but
any idea what legal hardware they were using to effectively
keep their own wifi available but render everyone else's
inaccessible?
