PenTesting in the Palm of Your Hand

Immunity SILICA is a hand-held penetration testing product that leverages Immunity CANVAS to provide a unique testing tool for networks. Currently it supports 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth wireless connections or optionally Ethernet via USB. Its slim, PDA-like profile allows the penetration tester to perform testing while appearing to perform an innocuous behavior.

Example Use Cases :

• Tell SILICA to scan every machine on every wireless network for file shares and download anything of interest to the SILICA device. Then just put it in your suit pocket and walk through your target's office space.
• Tell SILICA to actively penetrate any machines it can target (with any of Immunity CANVAS's exploits) and have all successfully penetrated machines connect via HTTP/DNS to an external listening post running Immunity CANVAS Professional.
• Mail SILICA to your target's CEO, then let it turn on and hack anything it can as it's sitting on their desk.
• Have SILICA conduct MITM attacks against people on a wireless network.
• Use SILICA as you would CANVAS on your desktop - just smaller.

Because every penetration test is different, Immunity SILICA is highly customizable. Based on the Open Source Linux operating system and the pure Python Immunity CANVAS attack framework, if one of SILICA's built in attack profiles does not fit your needs, you can easily craft one that does.
