Found on Slashdot: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=19 "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. Justin -- "Life is unfair, but root password Helps" --- Justin S.
