I disagree, OpenZarus is a fine OS, and I personally have Kismet, Wellenreiter, Nmap, tcpdump etc running on my 5500. Yes battery life is a problem, you can get around that by having a car charger (15 Oz $) or a battery extender detailed here http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/batextend from page "Summary: The extender let me take the battery life from 2 hours to about 7 hours and 45 minutes. That's one hell of a wardrive/warwalk. If you want to use the Zaurus as a mobile hack tool get an extender." cheers Ivan On 9/8/05, Technica Forensis <forensis.technica () gmail com> wrote:
I'm to cheap to own one, but have a couple friends that have done what you're talking about. It works great. You end up with a handheld device that runs kismet, nmap, and a myriad of other tools you'd never expect to be portal. http://www.ipaqlinux.com/ http://www.handhelds.org/ and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+ipaq for more information. I would recommend against the zaurus, though. The hardware is nice. Battery life wasn't that great. The port of linux that they used needs a lot of work to be usable.

My current one of choice is a hp ipaq hx2410 which is in my price range, will take linux and has wireless and bluetooth. Has anyone got one of these and done what I'm proposing? Can anyone suggest any alternatives which work better? I did look at the Sharp Zaurus but it isn't easy to get in the UK so I've been put off. Comments...
