Mobile Pentesting Devices

With the advent of netbooks, PDA's, and cellphones capable of running a full-blown OS, there's no need to carry around a 3 kg. laptop to do your network security audits. The following are commercial devices tweaked to support a number of pentesting tools and applications.

NeoPwn

Based on the OpenMoko platform. Uses Debian as the OS and runs open source pentesting tools with custom gui scripts. Cost is 699 US$ for the basic package.

Silica

Immunity's mobile pentesting product. Based on the Nokia N800 internet tablet. Runs custom software developed by Immunity. Cost is 3,600 US$ which includes software (exploit) updates for one year.

ipwn.mobi

H.D. Moore's side business. Uses the HP 2133 Mini-Note with the wifi card replaced with an atheros wifi card. Uses Kubuntu as the OS and most definitely runs Metasploit. Cost is 899 US$.


And then there are also the homebrew ones ranging from Sharp Zaurus installed with pentest software, Windows Mobile PDA's with replaced firmware, UMPC's installed with Backtack, etc.


So if there's anyone out there who wants a mobile pentest device and can afford to buy an EEE and pay me 1,000 pesos for a Backtrack installation then just contact me =)
