Exploring An Ultra-Tiny Linux Board For Covert Network Access

A project that aims to put an ultra-tiny Linux board in a standard USB wall charger is in the works. Such a device could be installed at a target location and phone home over the Internet, providing a back door into what might be an otherwise secure network. . Among security professionals, a “drop box” is a device that can be covertly installed at a target location and phone home over the Internet, providing a back door into what might be an otherwise secure network. We’ve seen both commercial and DIY versions of this concept, and as you might expect, one of the main goals is to make the device look as inconspicuous as possible. Which is why [Walker] is hoping to build one into a standard USB wall charger . This project is still in the early stages, but we like what we see so far. [Walker] aims to make this a 100% free and open source device, starting from the tools he’s using to produce the CAD files all the way up to the firmware the final hardware will run. With none of the currently available single-board computers (SBCs) meeting his list of requirements, the first step is to build a miniature Linux machine that’s got enough processing power to run useful security tools locally. Obviously such a board would be of great interest to the larger hacker and maker community. . Investigating a concept for a miniature Linux computing device embedded within a USB power adapter for discreet internet connectivity..
