August 15, 2006
"A portable hacking device equipped with hundreds of exploits and an  
automated exploitation system will go on sale in the United States in  
October.
The wireless handheld, called Silica, is the latest product to be  
developed by Immunity, a Miami-based security company that sells  
penetration testing products and services.
An early version of Silica, which supports 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and  
Bluetooth wireless connections, has been fitted with more than 150  
exploits from Immunity's Canvas product to allow security  
professionals to conduct pen tests while walking through office  
cubicles."
