ZDNet has a story about the public launch of Immunity's Silica, a portable
hacking device that can search for and join 802.11 (Wi-Fi) access points,
scan other connections for open ports, and automatically launch code
execution exploits from a built-in exploit platform
From the Article:
At startup, Silica offers the user the option to scan for available open
Wi-Fi networks. Once a network is found, the device connects (much like a
laptop at Starbucks) and asks the user if it should simply scan for
vulnerable/open ports or launch actual exploits from CANVAS.
Whenever CANVAS is updated with new exploits ‹ typically once a month ‹
Silica automatically gets an update to ensure all the newest attack code is
available for mobile pen testing.
Another reason customers need to have secured wireless networks at their
homes.
