OLPC's XO As a Wireless Hacking Tool

Posted by timothy on from the well-equipped dept.

twistedmoney99 writes "InformIT.com has a whimsical yet intriguing look at the OLPC in an article series titled "One Leet Pwning Child — Give one, Get Owned". Part one details how to upgrade the core system with some extras, but part two is where the fun begins as the author converts the OLPC into a lean green hacking machine to enable wireless sniffing, setup the OLPC for vulnerability assessments, and stage the device for a little autopwning with Metasploit."

    Regardless, calling someone an ass is flamebait even when it's true.

    Oh, that's just not fair. Surely "flaimebait" must follow the same legal restrictions for slander or libel, i.e. if its true, it isn't. :-)
