I just came across http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=19&tag=rbxccnbzd1.

"SAN FRANCISCO � The palm-sized PDA tucked away in Justine Aitel's pocketbook just might be the most scary device on display at this year's RSA security conference.

Aitel is roaming the hallways here with Silica, a portable hacking device that can search for and join 802.11 (Wi-Fi) access points, scan other connections for open ports, and automatically launch code execution exploits from a built-in exploit platform.

Silica is the brainchild of Aitel's Immunity Inc., a 10-employee penetration testing outfit operating out of Miami Beach, Florida. It runs a customized version of CANVAS, the company's flagship point-and-click attack tool that features hundreds of exploits, an automated exploitation system, and an exploit development framework.

Running a customized installation of Debian/Linux running kernel 2.6.16, Silica comes with a touch-screen interface featuring three prominent buttons � "Scan," "Stop," "Update Silica."

Support for Bluetooth wireless connections and Ethernet via USB is planned for the near future.

Aitel said GPS technology will also be fitted into future versions to pinpoint precise geographic locations of access points."

Kinda screws with the whole "it's hard to locate and access networks" thing.
