Wi-Fi Penetration Tester In Your Pocket

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.
