Kickball Notches writes "Immunity's Dave Aitel plans to start selling a portable hacking device equipped with hundreds of exploits. The wireless handheld, called Silica, comes equipped with more than 150 exploits from Canvas and an automated exploitation system that allows simulated hacking attacks from the palm of your hand. It supports 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth wireless connections and is based on Linux."

    I'm buying one of these tools and super-gluing it to my TV B Gone. Then I'm going to walk into CNN headquarters and completely change the way America gets her news.

    (...) Immunity's Canvas product to allow security professionals to conduct pen tests while walking through office cubicles.


    Since it's a pen-based device, should the users of this product be classified as "script kiddies"?

    Don't delay! Buy now! The first 10 buyers will also receive an official Immunity Canvas' McGyver Swiss Army knife* (with lock-picking add-ons) and a t-shirt bearing the sentence "Look, mom: I'm a hacker!" in the front and "kick me" in the back.

    * Parents: this is a safe product; to prevent injury, the Immunity Canvas' McGyver Swiss Army knife is manufactured in non-toxic plastic.

    The word is PLANE, as in those big metal things that fly.

    If you want to see Snakes on a PLAIN then go to Nebraska. They have lots of them there.

    Not to be confused with Insomniac's Dave Attell, although both equally fond of the back door.
