Yes but the flipper requires zero base knowledge to use it whereas setting up the hardware, installing the software, and troubleshooting any issues takes about the same amount knowledge as a helpdesk gig in IT. Again, I don't think making them illegal does shit. I do think it's rather obstinate to not acknowledge that the barrier for entry to execute those attacks was lowered substantially by the flipper though.
