Homebrew Hacking, bring your Nintendo DS!
Yesterday, Engadget reported about a "WiFi sniffer" that turns your Nintendo DS,
into a wardriving tool and while it lacks certain features, it can
still prove "handy", even fuel further security concerns over this steadily developing trend of homebrew hacking experiments.
Removable media is a problem, but would gaming devices turn into a security threat as well? They can sure result in more malware, and this trend, among the many other, made me an impression in respect to the need of interoperability in the upcoming future.
