September 28, 2006Black Dog: Watch out for his "byte"Found a really kewl embedded Linux device today called Black Dog that powers off of the USB port of a PC. It can then load an Xserver into memory on a Windows machine, and project the output from the Black Dog server to the Windows host. I see some real potential here. It even has a biometric sensor to "unlock" the device to continue use from one machine to another. (Although we all know my thoughts on biometrics alone) For me, this could make an EXCELLENT infosec mobile platform. I could run all my infosec tools on any machine I sat down on, with very little software fingerprint to the host OS. Only problem I see is that it leverages the host network adapter, which means I couldn't do low level RAW socket stuff on XP. They have a short demo showing how this works. Check it out. If anyone wants, this could make a kewl early XMas gift for me :) Posted by SilverStr at September 28, 2006 12:39 PM | TrackBackComments
Or more nefariously it could be used to get your own 'machine' onto the internal network. You don't even need to spoof a MAC address, just use the existing legitemately registered one.
