What the Dreamcast and the iPaq Have in Common

Slashdot is linking to an article about a creative use for the Sega Dreamcast…hacking into corporate networks from the inside. What makes this "on-your-Palm" is that the same folks also wrote such internal-intrusion software for the iPaq. Essentially, any small computing device—including handhelds—with the ability to connect to Ethernet can run software of this kind: hook it up to an internal port and leave it, and it will tunnel out to connect to a host's machine.

Beware of strange iPaqs plugged into your network.
