Sniper Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Right People, I was wondering, if anyone uses any pocket size UMPC's out there for security audit. I want to buy something that would fit in my pocket and yet i can run tests as well to check hosts and networks for security issues. Quote

Sniper Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 Actually I was thinking more in the lines of OQO Model 2... Something that you can install Ubuntu/Backtrack or WinXP on it.... but i suppose HTC is cool as well... so what can you do on your HTC... what are your limitations?! Quote
stingwray Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Get any netbook which runs well with backtrack and something like a 500w usb wireless if your doing wireless pentesting. A large battery also certainly helps. UMPCs are generally too expensive for the limited gains you can make, where the netbook is small enough to be used and very cheap. Also offers far more power and flexability. If you really have your heart set on doing things slowly but in a small form factor, then the nokia n810 is probably your best bet, its runs linux which makes it easier to set up to go. Quote
