Tomorrow at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, the Pwnie Express will officially unleash Pwn Plug R2, the next generation in its arsenal of penetration testing and hacking hardware. Ars got an exclusive rundown in advance on the device from Dave Porcello, founder and CEO of Pwnie Express.
Some of the major enhancements to the latest Pwn Plug are in its software. The system now runs on Pwnix, a customized version of Offensive Security's Kali. Kali is a Debian-based Linux distribution built specifically for penetration testing. It's the successor to BackTrack Linux.
Additional features in the Pwn Plug R2's arsenal of pwnness include, among other things:
1. New wireless penetration testing attacks, including the FreeRADIUS attack for high-security enterprise Wi-Fi networks
2. Metasploit, the open-source penetration testing framework from Rapid7
3. The Social Engineer Toolkit, an open-source tool written in Python designed for social engineering attacks on networks
4. Kismet and Aircrack-NG, two Wi-Fi network attack tools
5. nmap, a port-scanning tool
6. SSLstrip, an SSL man-in-the-middle attack tool that hijacks links to secure HTTP sites
7. THC Hydra, a network authentication "cracker"
8.The w3af Web attack framework, Scapy packet spoofing tool, and Ettercap packet capture tool.
