Yes, in fact, if you search you can find out how to do it yourself. There was a video available online which demonstrated how to do it, but the companies whose products were exposed (guess which ones) complained and threatened suit. The only company (I know of) that is (or was?) successful at preventing it is Cranite Systems which was purchased by Cisco (for good reason). You might want to check out SafeConnect. To be honest though, there may be better systems out there that I'm not knowledgeable about - I haven't been responsible for network security for some time.
