Mobile Phone Network auditor

NeoPwn is the first network auditing distribution for a mobile phone which loads Backtrack off a MicroSD card to perform penetration testing (pentesting). NoePwn has modified the OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner to act as a network security penetration testing device.

According to the source

The NeoPwn OS is based on a Linux 2.6.24 kernel and BackTrack Linux, a full Debian (ARMEL) GNU/Linux distribution released as a live CD. Resulting from the merger of two Knoppix-based distros: WHAX and the Auditor Security Collection, BackTrack is said to include over 300 security tools, including Aircrack, Maltego, Metasploit, SAINT, attack, and numerous other attack, sniffing, and network exploitation utilities. The full list of NeoPwn OS applications may be found here.

The great advantage I can see using it is the comfort in using a small mobile sized device to do a pentest. It is much portable then a laptop. But the disadvantage using it will be inavailablity of keyboards. It has a virtual keyboard incorporated but surely that would be a bit tedious job.

From the site, the costs of the phone are as :

• NeoPwn Basic — 2GB MicroSD card and a RT73-based USB WiFi card — $700 ($300 without phone)
• NeoPwn Standard — 4GB MicroSD card and an Alfa AWUS036H 500mW USB WiFi card — $800 ($400 without phone)
• NeoPwn Extreme — 4GB MicroSD card and an Alfa AWUS036H 500mW USB WiFi card — $1,000 ($600 without phone)

NeoPwn also sells software-only systems without phone or accessories, but including DVD, support, and documentation for $80 (Basic), $100 (Standard), and $130 (Extreme). Custom hardware and software configurations are also available, says the company.
