Pwnie Express Releases Pwn Pad Ahead of Schedule

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-it-early dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The team at Pwnie Express released their Pwn Plug, which combined an off the shelf SheevaPlug with a feature packed open source firmware that turned it into an incredibly capable security tool. Then came the Power Pwn, which hid the same type of functionality into what looked like a standard power strip. Today they've launched their latest product, continuing along the same line of hiding cutting edge open source security tools in plain sight: the Pwn Pad."

    Mea culpa. We were supposed to take Jorge's smartphone away *before* the hazing.

    An announcement coming shortly for a product that allows administrators to take tablets for pain relief, secure their networks, and engage in shootouts with the Chicago police, all using a simple handheld device. Sources say the name will be Alka Pwn.

    the same type of functionality into what looked like a standard power strip

    A few years ago, I remember a story on slashdot about how a con-man swindled some investors who thought they were supporting the development of a high performance broadband wireless technology. Demonstrations were arranged where data transmission occurred across a bay or some other body of water. When the scam was uncovered, it was discovered that a coax cable was disguised as a power plug and used to fake the data transmission. I have not been able to rediscover the story or anything similar to it. Do any old timers here remember any such caper?

    how do you pronounce it? Is it "Pony Pad"? or "Ownie Pad"?

    4 hours to create and install your own custom firmware that supports all of those add on devices on a Nexus 7? If that were true you'd probably have more of a life than a trolling AC on slashdot.
