Forbes reports today about a new power strip that allows one backdoor access to an entire network. It’s from Pwnie Epxress and is called the Power Pwn. The strip is slated to be released at the end of September. Writes Adrian Kingsley-Hughes:
“[The device] could sit unnoticed in a home or work environment and yet be spying on an entire network.
The Power Pwn is described as “a fully-integrated enterprise-class penetration testing platform” that has an “ingenious form-factor” — which, I think is a euphemism for “easily hidden” — and as a “highly-integrated/modular hardware design.”
The Power Pwn is marketed as a penetration testing tool and is fully-loaded with hardware and software to allow it to hack into a number of different networks.
Kingsley-Hughes lists all the Power Pwn’s features. The device is slated to retail for $1,295 and the company is currently taking pre-orders.
