Wi-Fi Penetration Tester In Your Pocket

[hey!]

is that a penetration tester in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

That's what she said!

It could have been funny if the editor had not already made the joke in the 'dept' line.

But, to answer your question. Am I happy to see you? I don't know, are those a pair of boobs on your chest?

Post an article on slashdot with the words "penetrate" and "open ports" in the summary.

Automated intrusion software

[sshore]

Over the last year or so, I've considered writing an automated wireless network intrusion tool. It would:

• capture encrypted packets and attempt to crack wep/wpa keys
• join wireless networks, enumerate targets
• retrieve files of interest from shares or recover them from packet dumps
• launch code attacks, like this tool does

You'd run it on a laptop that you'd carry in your backpack or in your car, on your way to/from work or just cruising around on a Sunday afternoon.

As such, it would be called the Transient Wireless Intrusion Tool, or TWIT. I just get a charge out of network security people writing about twits wandering around near the network.

Even worse would be Transient Wireless Attack Tool...

Now just combine that with OLPC

[kabocox]

I'd like to see someone program that for the OLPC laptop. I could easily envision a slashdotter transforming a simple educational device into a hightech potentially offensive military IT resource and giving it to 3rd world kids.

How did they know???

I already have a wife penetration tester in my pocket, thank you very much.

[drooling-dog]

You wouldn't happen to be the guy next door to me, would you?

Actually...

[StressGuy]

It's the same bad joke over and over again until somebody post one of the following....

"In Soviet Russia - Open Ports Penetrate You!"

or..."my back door is impenetrable YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD!!!"

or...perhaps a reference to a Beowulf cluster-f%@k

or...something ending in .... PROFIT!

then we all get sick of it.
