Samy Kamkar has released the source code for his latest hacking tool, PoisonTap. Kamkar built PoisonTap using a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero computer, a microUSB cable and a microSD card. The tool takes advantage of the implicit trust put in connected devices and produces “a snowball effect of information exfiltration, network access and installation of semi-permanent backdoors,” he writes. PoisonTap is also ineffective if websites are encrypted, designated by “https” in the URL window or if cookies have been flagged with the “secure” setting.”]
