Hi guys i am new to this site and im loving it

I am a web security student. i was told by a friend that nokia 770 or n800 is a good device to use for hacking/security?

I am thinkin of purchasing one of them but i dont know which one is good for hacking/security? so i was wondering if you guys could give me some advice?

also what sort of hacking/security software is availabe for the tablet? and where can i get it?


hope to get some reply

Thanks

770 is probably better than the N8x0 - Kismet runs better on the 770, whereas the N8x0 WiFi stack has bugs and flaws which prevent Kismet from working well.

Hi thanks for the reply

just wanted to know can nokia 770 run Metasploit http://www.metasploit.com/
witout any problems?

I believe so - there is a security firm flogging 770s with metasploit and other security tools as a package for about $3500. I don't if they created their own builds or used/customised an existing metasploit package (which may be out of date now).

This guy got Metasploit running on the N800...

The 2005 OS is there so you can flash it to your device although why anyone would want to go back to that version of the OS is beyond me .

Hi thanks i want to try a app which only works with os 2005

i herd OS2007 is hackers edition? wot do you get it that? is that da best os?

............

OS 2007 HE is arguably the best OS for 770 - possibly not the most stable (but stability is very good) and it's more up to date than the last release of OS 2006.

thanks millhouse you were very helpful i think i will go for 770 for now and see how it goes D:
