Meet The Plugbot

What exactly is Plugbot? According to theplugbot.com, "it's a covert penetration testing device (bot) designed for covert use during physical penetration tests." In other words a very small computer that can be secretly placed within a company to gain access to the company's network to scan, collect and transmit data remotely.

This is definitely a tool ethical hackers can use for the purpose of penetration testing, but this unit should also make security professionals realize that the threat of an inside attacker or hacker deploying a similar type of very small computer is higly possible and may be the next wave in how attacks are carried out on companies.
