I have a simple idea, I want to make a program for the nintendo ds that has a port scanner, a password cracker, and an OS Fingerprint. It's basically a mobile Pentester.

Is this possible/plauseable? Is there anything I forgot?

I wouldn't not call myself an expert on this subject but possibly if you check out ds linux, you might be able to port some command line tools over to it. I do not know if some of your wifi tools will work, or if anything will work actually, but its a place to start looking.

It is a simple idea, but it would be rather hard to program even if you had a strong grasp of C.

It would be hard to (re)program nmap, but a simple port scanner/passwd cracker, not as much. But in all fairness, if a toolchain is available for DSLinux, porting nmap might be a far more interesting project IMO.

P.S. Yes, OS fingerprinting is for the hardcore

whoa. DS linux sounds cool. I almost want one just for that. and i thought the wifi on the ds had a range of 30 feet maximum.

[Zach Nelson]

@inaequitas-I Wouldn't really re-program anything, just program.

and @The_STDstroyer-I'm sure there's an extender or somethin'.

DS WiFi is like normal wifi when used with an access point. You have to remember the DS isn't a very powerful thing to work with. There is no way a password cracker would work.

Not quite.

I went wardriving with my DS (yes, really) and just drove down the main roads. I picked up like, 300 points. I knew where one point was, at a gas station. Well, it showed up while I was near the Targ3t across the street.

I would say a good 500 feet, depending on how good the router you are picking up is.

It's worth remembering wardriving is different than connecting because the beacon from the AP might be stronger than your card's signal, i.e. there's no way you could maintain a connection to that AP but you can still see it.

But cracking, yes, I completely overlooked the specs. It might be more useful as a packet capture device and then you do the cracking offline someplace.

[Zach Nelson]

So you mean like a packet sniffer?
(Sorry, but i'm semi-new to this and that's really all I could find on google)

yeah basically. and does anyone know the full system specs for the ds?

[Zach Nelson]

I did at once, but off the top of my head it's got two processors, an arm7 and an arm9.

wow. the ds looks alot less powerful than it actually is.

At a point in the video, Fox test's it.

For a stupid reason, but the point get's across.

Well, yes, I did not however refute any claims regarding length of communication, merely acknowledging a technical aspect of wifi. Since I don't own a DS nor extensively played with one, I would have been in no position to comment on its merits

But for all points and purposes, it did seem to be able to communicate at increased ranges. As usual, the OEM doesn't want to over-advertise for fear of returns and whatnot.
