I have found portscan tools, theres even a winPcap version for winCE, <<--snipped from http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm The CE version was tested successfully (not by us) on Compaq Pocket PC and HP Jornada., <<--end of snip i did do some portscanning from an iPaq, it was extremely slow via CDPD connection, not sure how it would have performed on a wireless lan card.

I was wondering whether any exploits or penetration tools exist that run on Compaq IPaq PDAs (running Windows CE or whatever they call it now), or any other handheld devices, for that matter. This is part risk analysis regarding the use of such devices, and part looking at using such a device for lightweight ad-hoc penetration or vulnerability testing.
