This is cool, it's like if it were some parasite. I'm curious about how would the attackers go about making difficult for the attack to be detected and/or traced back to them. If the device has to be connected to a server, wouldn't that make it this attack relatively easy to detect? And once detected, in which ways could they obfuscate the origin of the attack?
I guess you could put a false return address on it to try and mitigate something finding where it came from. In terms of connecting to a server, you could always configure it to relay data through...
I guess you could put a false return address on it to try and mitigate something finding where it came from. In terms of connecting to a server, you could always configure it to relay data through a hidden service on TOR or something to hide where the information is going.
I think the idea is this thing brings its own 3G connection so it would be passively scoping your network out which would make it harder to detect.
I think this is a really cool, novel idea. How effective it is in the real world I'd be skeptical of, but it's definitely something to think about!
