Stealthy Pen Test Unit Plugs Directly Into 110 VAC Socket (Video)

Pwnie Express is a cute name for this tiny (and easily hidden) group of Pen Test devices. Their website says, 'Our initial hardware offering, the Pwn Plug, is the first-to-market commercial penetration testing drop box platform. This low-cost plug-and-play device is designed for remote security testing of corporate facilities, including branch offices and retail locations. A security professional or service provider can ship this device to a corporate facility and conduct a security test over the Internet without travel expenses.' Hardware buffs will recognize this unit as a SheevaPlug, but the value-add is that it's preloaded with Ubuntu Linux and and a rich suite of intrusion/testing tools. The company's 'Founder and CEO and everything else' is Dave Porcello. The video is an interview with Dave, in which he shows off and demonstrates some Pwnie Express products.

    Okay, that's pretty cheesy. But I'll admit it did make me giggle.

    When I giggle I also get an erection. But that's probably irrelevant information.

    Do you also giggle when you get an erection? That can be dangerous, you can die of exploding penis due to infinite recursion.

    Penetration Testing using the Plug of the Destroyer God and you have an erection. Somehow a Goatse link feels safe and comforting right now. I'm going to crawl back into bed and cry myself to sleep.

    Even better if you have one with duel Ethernet ports on it.

    The ethernet ports would fight each other?
