I was wondering if anyone had references or tools to use in pen testing a
WinCE handheld?

I played around a while ago with a MIPS based
PocketPC; (Symbol 2740) tested ports/services,
i found one thing that may be of intrest, when
i did a simple portscan against the machine, it
froze(!) and i had to do a reset of the device.
(B nice, if someone could confirm this...)

Also, i do not know if the WEP keys (registry)
were encrypted with a system specific key, so i
could (in theory) just transfer those to a new
system and access any (non-mac filtering) AP
and gain similar access.

(Anyway, This was way before everyone knew that
wep had so severe flaws)
