The MiniPwner
The MiniPwner is described as a penetration testing “drop box”. You (or maybe a cleaner you’ve bribed) needs to plug it into an Ethernet plug in the target’s building, and then you can slurp all the data out of their network via a wifi link.
The penetration tester uses stealth or social engineering techniques to plug the MiniPwner into an available network port. (common locations include conference rooms, unoccupied workstations, the back of IP Telephones, etc.)
Once it is plugged in, the penetration tester can log into the MiniPwner and begin scanning and attacking the network. The MiniPwner can simultaneously establish SSH tunnels through the target network, and also allow the penetration tester to connect to the MiniPwner via Wifi.
WiFi Pineapple Mark V
Slightly larger than a smartphone the WiFi Pine-apple Mark V is the “ultimate” cyber surveillance device. It uses an “intuitive” web interface to enable hackers to break into a corporate’s IT networks through its wifi connections. It costs $100.
USB Switchblade
The goal of the USB Switchblade is to silently recover information from a target Windows 2000 or higher computer, including password hashes, LSA secrets, IP information, etc.
A gadget that looks like a USB stick has a program that swings into action when it’s inserted into the USB drive and can then begin its naughty work without the user knowing it by exploiting a flaw in USB autorun settings. How about dropping it in the car park of your target’s offices, seeing if someone will pick it up and plug it in to see what’s on it…
USB 8GB Flash Drive Cufflinks
The thing about these is that the bad guy can carry a load of malware, ready for use at any time. These go for less than $50. Easy to smuggle in.
The Rubber Ducky
The Rubber Ducky is becoming the “field-weapon of choice” for cyber spies. It’s the size of a normal USB stick but when you plug it in to a PC it pretends to be a keyboard and starts ‘typing’ away, possibly trying to break into systems or maybe stealing passwords. If you get a few seconds alone with someone’s phone you can get an adapter to plug it in and maybe hack that too. (The last five items courtesy of Financial News.)
