You can run an Subversion server with less than 64MB, unless you are one of those retards who think all servers should be running a window manager or some trash like CPanel.

For anyone still interested in these, I wonder if the price reduction and the hardware capabilities of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153190 make it interesting to people who like the Sheeva? Just posting this for the record. I’ve owned a sheevaplug for 2 years… never did anything amazing with it lol

Hey all, I packaged one of these up into the ultimate pentesting tool – complete with metasploit, nmap, dsniff, nikto, scapy, ettercap, and a persistent reverse SSH tunnel!

I purchsed one of these a few weeks ago. Aside from some sketcy upgrade instructions, it’s ovall a pretty good device. It’s ARM, so not everything under the sun is available .. but everything I needed was. Finding a wireless dongle to with the the latest 2.6 kernels wasn’t much effort (I had one hiding in a box in my closet).

“pop on a 500GB external hard drive, connect (remotely) via SSH, and control it. It’s like hacking into a remote computer, but in reverse. You could use it to do things (like download torrents) for several weeks, then just collect it when you’re ready to claim your loot!”

Good idea, but you may aswell just put them in friends or relatives houses.

how would one go about implementing this?

I’m surprised there aren’t more hacks for this. Like installing Windows XP on this.

@louis ii
use the rf power from the air and maybe some kind of power harnessing from the voltage present in ethernet. not sure on standards or potential bad side effects but it seems a few simple mods could make this thing a lot more stealth, like able to sit inside the ethernet wall jack and run from aforementioned power sources

I wonder if it could be used for some type of VIOP application? Maybe use it for the Magic Jack so that you didn’t have to run your computer all the time to be able to use the phone. Just plug it into your Internet connection and into the wall. That would make the Magic Jack something more practical to own and use.

Just ordered mine last night, not expecting it until late May. hoping by then there will be some nice mods on the net about it. It would also be nice if someone can figure out the pin layout so we can activate the second Gigabit connection. Planning on using my first on as a Firewall. waiting to see what consumer models are made from this before I get more. may just stick with the dev kit, as the only 2 I have found for sale both remove the SD slot and the mini USB Jtag.

Mine arrived yesterday. Nice packaging with a magnetic flap there is a regular laptop type power cord in the box as well and it looks like the plug can be removed, but it is very tight. I’ll have more once I connect to it.
