Which software derives its name from this device ?

Answer :

The Amazon Mechanical Turk. Named after The Turk, a mechanical contraption that could play chess against human counterparts, and beat them. Later, it was revealed to be a hoax, hiding inside, a human who would operate its controls.

Cracked by Shrey Goyal and Johny Walker. sumo_ftb got the device but not the software.
