Kinectasploit: Hack Tools Meet Kinect

mask.of.sanity writes "While Hollywood often fails to portray hacking, one researcher has made the art of exploitation look more like the big screen. Kinectasploit is hacking in the form of a first-person shooter that melds Microsoft's Kinect controls with 20 hacking tools including Metasploit, Snort, Nessus, John the Ripper and Ettercap. The work in progress can be downloaded from github."

Okay, and?

Real Hackers(tm) don't hack from a device that records your face, voice, and surroundings... Just sayin'.

Real hackers have a small piece of TP covering the lens of their integrated webcam ! Bonus if not only while fapping.

Real "hackers" with experience in network probing, intrusion and forensics also don't need a video game to use tools like nmap and ettercap. This is just a neat toy that provides a layer of visual abstraction to help people better understand the tools that are employed during a (legal) pentest, not a suite of security tools for 00b3r-31337 bl4khA7 PwNl0rDz to expedite their trips to prison.

Uh, the Eye Toy was just a basic Web cam.

Re:

[GTRacer]

It was just a cam, but it was paired with software that did the motion recognition (usually poorly unless you had floodlights in the room). EyeToy compatible games touted motion control with just the EyeToy and your living room. Pity it was so bad at actually detecting accurate motion. I tried mine with DDR and with the EyeToy sampler disc and I failed to get any real accuracy out of it. Then again, I paid a whopping $10 for the EyeToy yoga bundle on clearance.

I wound up using it as my Skype cam as I didn

Watching the video I'm reminded of the hacking sequences from the Neuromancer game.

Positive: different expression (than strictly technical) of a tool. Negative: waste of a bunch of peoples time. Conclusion: product made exploiting hacking hype in mainstream America ----> Fail

Re:

[Anonymous Coward]

It's the very definition of 'hacking' away at something; whatever floats your boat. I can assure you that there's much, much more software out there under the guise of something 'useful' that is definitely a waste of people's time. Who cares.
