The Power Pwn is a fully-integrated, enterprise-class penetration testing platform. A successor to the popular Pwn Plug, the device features a highly-integrated modular hardware design. Backed and funded by the Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA), it aims to provide corporations and security-conscious individuals with a cheaper and easier means to defend themselves against hackers, by providing them with the same set of tools as their digital assailants.
With the appearance of a simple surge protector, the Power Pwn won’t turn any heads, but crack open its unassuming casing and you’ll find everything you need to run a full-scale security auditing software suite. The biggest draw of the device is undoubtedly its ability to perform tests remotely. A security professional can simply ship the Power Pwn to a corporate facility and gain access to the device covertly over Ethernet, wireless or 3G/GSM cell networks.
