Yeah.

...or...
1) drop the n900 (running chrooted BT5) off at the target,
2) ssh over 3G, and
3) attack the wireless networks from there...

BT / WiFi keyboards also possible if you don't want to give yourself RSI on the dicky little keyboard.

I assume these options work for the Xoom, but you'd be much more likely to lose your hardware.

I think these discussions are about options and using tools that work for the job.
Horses for courses and so on.

Just use a MBA with BT5. Hackers need keyboards.

A rooted Xoom can work in host mode. I'm told that perhaps that means it can inject packets. I wonder if an AirPcap adapter might work like this?

Packet injection on the Xoom?
Or is the n900 still the way to go for that kind of thing?
