Looking for nefarious ways to take advantage of that Freerunner’s wide-open Linux distro? NeoPwn thinks it has just the answer, packaging OpenMoko’s latest handset with a custom bootloader and your choice of several add-on hardware modules for what it bills as the “first ever network auditing distrobution for a mobile phone.” In layman’s terms, that means you can crack a WEP WiFi network in just five minutes from the comfort of your pocket — a pretty powerful reminder that WEP needs to be put six feed under in favor of more secure encryption techniques. Packages range in price from $79 to $999 depending on what software and hardware is included (you’ll need an external WiFi card since the Freerunner’s guts don’t support monitoring or packet injection) and are expected to start shipping next month.
