DARPA's hacking box disguised as a power strip
http://j.mp/SO8uWk (Wired)
"It may look like a surge protector, but it's really a remote access
machine that corporations can use to test security and log into branch
offices. Called the Power Pwn, it's a stealthier version of the little
box that can hack your network we wrote about last March. Hidden
inside are Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapters, along with a number of
hacking and remote access tools that let security experts prod and
poke the network, and even call home to be remotely controlled via the
cellular network."
