A new attack tool that can compromise locked computers will leave you wishing you could take your machine with you everywhere you go.

Dubbed PoisonTap, the tool consists of a Raspberry Pi Zero controller with a USB or Thunderbolt plug, loaded with open source software. All in all, this setup can be achieved by anyone who has $5 to spare.

What is PoisonTap capable of, you ask?

Plugged into a locked/password protected computer, it can hijack all Internet traffic from the machine, open the internal router to the attacker, collect HTTP cookies and sessions from web browsers, install a web-based backdoor in HTTP cache for hundreds of thousands of domains, install a backdoor into the machine that does not depend on the device being plugged in, and more. It is capable of compromising Macs and PCs running Windows.

There is also a YouTube video (5m22s).

    "There has been another attempt to seize power," Stallman wrote. "So far, the aristocratic forces have been defeated." To protect his identity, Stallman signed the message "Radio Free OZ."

    The disguise was a thin one at best. By 1982, Stallman's aversion to passwords and secrecy had become so well known that users outside the AI Laboratory were using his account as a stepping stone to the ARPAnet, the research-funded computer network that would serve as a foundation for today's Internet. One such "tourist" during the early 1980s was Don Hopkins, a California programmer who learned through the hacking grapevine that all an outsider needed to do to gain access to MIT's vaunted ITS system was to log in under the initials RMS and enter the same three-letter monogram when the system requested a password.

    "I'm eternally grateful that MIT let me and many other people use their computers for free," says Hopkins. "It meant a lot to many people."

    This so-called "tourist" policy, which had been openly tolerated by MIT management during the ITS years,6 fell by the wayside when Oz became the lab's primary link to the ARPAnet. At first, Stallman continued his policy of repeating his login ID as a password so outside users could follow in his footsteps. Over time, however, the Oz's fragility prompted administrators to bar outsiders who, through sheer accident or malicious intent, might bring down the system. When those same administrators eventually demanded that Stallman stop publishing his password, Stallman, citing personal ethics, refused to do so and ceased using the Oz system altogether.

    "[When] passwords first appeared at the MIT AI Lab I [decided] to follow my belief that there should be no passwords," Stallman would later say. "Because I don't believe that it's really desirable to have security on a computer, I shouldn't be willing to help uphold the security regime."

      "Keep a watch out, Pam. Do you see mom coming?"

      "Hunh unh."

      Pam's brown eyes surveyed the crowded parking lot as Mark
      struggled beside her in the front seat of the station
      wagon, working his jeans down to his knees. His engorged
      cock flipped into the air, wagging and straining. He let
      out a sigh.

      "Okay. Now it's your turn. I'll keep an eye out. Just
      hurry up, that's all."

      Pam nodded and pulled her skirt up about her waist,
      grasping the edge of her panties. In one deft motion she
      arched and peeled them off, pulling their crotch stickily
      away from her tender heated cunt.

      Mark couldn't help staring down as her dewy pussy mound
      burst into view, all matted and curled and tickling at her
      wet inner thighs.

      It had been a long dull morning shopping with their mom,
      driving from one shopping center to another as she picked
      up items here and there and spent hours on end just
      browsing. Finally, worn out on this whole excursion,
      they'd begged to stay in the car and wait instead of
      following Linda from store to store.

      And almost as soon as she'd disappeared from sight, they'd
      looked at each other with mutual agreement.

      Pam slid the crisp moist material down her slender hips,
      then off. Now her pussy was bare beneath the skirt, all
      warm and oozy with anticipation. She reached over and
      grasped her brother's bobbing prick, and he grunted.

      "Ahh, yeah. Now do it, Sis. Climb up on me -- hurry! If
      I don't get my prick in you right now I'm gonna shoot all
      over the place! Come on!"

      Still holding onto his swollen cockshaft, Pam obeyed with a
      smile. She wiggled onto her knees and straddled his lap,
      facing the window so she could see out in case their mother
      appeared unexpectedly.

      Then, easing his cockhead against her pooched, dewy cunt
      lips, she lowered herself onto it.

      "Oooohhh..."

      A long happy groan rose from her throat as her cunt mouth
      stretched wide around her brother's cockmeat, sinking down
      on it with a spew of hot, steamy juices.

      "Oh yeah, that's right, ohhh shit." Mark groaned too. His
      prick sank up into her, throbbing and lurching in her snug
      cunt.

      "Uhhhmmm..."

      She settled on his lap with an ecstatic flutter, her skirt
      fanning out to cover their actions.

      People and cars were everywhere, some of them passing by so
      near that Mark could have reached out the passenger window
      and touched them. That fact only added to the thrill as he
      grasped his sister's hips, urging her on.

      "Jesus, that feels good! Now fuck it, Pammy. Fuck it
      good, like that... ahhh..."

      Not that Pam needed urging by this time, by any means. She
      began to ease up and down on her knees, undulating to feel
      his cock jerk and slosh inside her.

      "Ohhhh... ooooh..."

      Her head lolled, long brown hair tickling at his face. Her
      tight wet pussy made slick sucking sounds around his aching
      prick as she rocked rhythmically, riding it like a bronco.

      He gave an approving grunt, reaching under her skirt to
      feel all that soft thick cunthair split apart by his cock,
      fingertips exploring around until they located the taut
      stretched button of her clit. He rubbed it furiously.

      "That's real good, Sis. Pump the jizz right out of me, so
      I can shoot it up your cunt hole! Faster ... faster!"

      "Uuunnnggh..."

      Pam obliged gladly, her clit shooting off sparks under his
      twiddling fingers. She humped up and down harder, until
      her pussy glided along the entire length of his massive
      veined pecker. The seat springs squeaked frantically as
      she bounced to climax on her brother's cock, slamming down
      with furious delight.

      "Ohhh -- oh fuck, I'm coming Mark! I'm coming on your
      cock! Now .... now... now -- ooowwwhhh -- mmumppff!"

      Her wail was cut off as Mark slapped a hand over her mouth.
      At the same time he lurched and his cock spasmed.

      Cure fountained up Pam's taut pussy, and she careened on it
      in wiggling ecstasy as its hot floods pumped her to
      completion, gasping and moaning into her brother's clamped
      palm.

      "Muhhhm... ummppfff!"

      "Aaahhh..."

      He groaned, releasing his grip as the jism was sucked from
      his balls. Pam wavered atop him, her pussy filled with
      thick hot gushes.

      "Oh shit, Pammy, that ... that was something else! Ohhh,
      fuck!"

      He sank back, drained and happy.

      Pam slumped too and her cunt squeezed on his pecker until
      it finally slid free with a limp wet plop.

      Splatters of cure seeped from her bloated hole, and she
      collapsed on the front seat in a sated heap, skirt bunching
      about her hips to display the slick crease of her pussy
      drooling his jizz, its brown fuzz dewy with big white
      globs.

      Mark grinned. But then his grin froze when he glanced up
      and saw a familiar package-laden figure heading toward
      them, only a few cars away.

      "Oh shit -- it's mom!"

      Frantically he jerked his jeans up and snapped them
      together, then pulled his dazed sister upright and shoved
      her panties under the seat.

      Pam slipped back to reality as the driver's door opened,
      and their mother climbed in.

      "Well, did you have a nice wait? I didn't mean to be so
      long but it -- uhhh, well, it... doesn't matter. Take
      these, Mark."

      Linda's smooth conversation broke into a stammer as the
      tangy reek of sex filled the car, and she pushed the
      packages in Mark's lap in an effort to hide her shock.

      But it was all too plain to see what had happened, even if
      she hadn't smelled it. Mark's flushed face, and Pam's
      discreet glowing expression gave it all away.

      Her children had been fucking. And right out in public.
      Right in the middle of her shopping trip! Linda was too
      stunned to react. Instead she started the car and headed
      home, not knowing what else to do.

      All the way back, none of them spoke. If they noticed
      their mother's abruptly quiet behavior, neither Mark or Pam
      seemed to realize that they'd been caught. Instead they
      sat obediently, ,both looking as innocent as two children
      ought to look.

      But Linda knew better. After the initial shock wore off,
      turmoil set in. She honestly didn't know quite how to
      react, or what to do about it. Now that they'd discovered
      sex, how was she supposed to stop them from wanting to
      learn more?

      But even in her turmoil, she knew exactly who was
      responsible for doing this to her children. She'd seen it
      last night, with her own eyes. Susan. That... little...
      bitch!

      As she drove, her fury grew. Not at Mark or Pam, because
      she knew her kids. She knew how innocent they were
      compared to so many others their age, and how easily their
      teenaged emotions could be unleashed at any moment with a
      little direction. And it was growing painfully obvious
      that Susan had been doing plenty of directing.

      By the time she pulled into the gravel drive by the house.
      Linda was fuming. Something had to be done about this
      situation right now, before it got any worse. Somehow, she
      had to undo the damage her niece had done.

      As the kids got out of the car and started inside, she
      spoke up without taking time to think.

      "Mark, would you wait a second? I have another chore I
      forgot about, and it's going to take a man's help. Do you
      mind?"

      "Uh ... okay Mom." Giving in with a shrug, he climbed
      back into the station wagon beside her. "What do you
      need?"

      "You'll see. Just wait." Unable to think up any fancy
      lies, she stopped his questions shortly and pulled once
      more out of the drive, not exactly certain where she was
      going.

      After a few minutes of guiding the car down back roads away
      from the house, Linda saw a familiar-looking dirt lane and
      abruptly pulled in.

      "Hey, Mom?" Mark frowned, perplexed. "This road doesn't
      go anywhere but to a cornfield. What's up?"

      Not answering, she found a shady spot and brought the car
      to a halt. Then, when she'd killed the engine, she turned
      to face him. "That's exactly what I was going to ask,
      young man. What's up with you and Pam that the two of you
      feel called upon to fuck each other right in the middle of
      a busy parking lot? You did it, didn't you? You fucked
      your sister--after promising me you wouldn't!"

      Mark's mouth dropped open, and his eyes bulged.

      "And don't bother trying to lie, because I already know the
      truth!" Linda was infuriated, her cheeks flushing hotly.
      She was getting herself worked up, and couldn't seem to
      stop it. "Answer me, young man! You fucked my Pammy,
      didn't you? Didn't you?"

      Suddenly she clutched Mark's arm in an iron grip, making
      him wince.

      "It... it was sort of an accident. Ouch Mom, that hurts!"
      He tried to pull away, his face pale. "Accident!" Linda's
      voice rose almost to a cry, and she shivered with anger.
      "Accident? You mean you slipped, and your cock just fell
      right into her? Is that the kind of accident you're trying
      to make me believe, Mark Harmon? Susan caused this, didn't
      she? Don't try to hide it. She's the one who got you two
      started! She got you all horny and was showing you how to
      fuck your sister last night when I walked in! And now
      you've done it, after promising me you wouldn't! Isn't
      that how it was? Isn't it?"

      In her fury she gave him a shake, and Mark's answer rattled
      out. "Well . . . sort of, I suppose..."

      "Sort of!" Linda vaguely realized that she was getting
      carried away, but couldn't stop herself. "You sort of
      fucked Pam, and no doubt you've sort of fucked that bitch
      Susan as well! My God, you just won't be satisfied until
      you've fucked every woman in the household! And that
      includes--"

      She stopped, suddenly aware of the subdued ache that had
      grown in her cunt from the first moment she'd whiffed that
      raw tantalizing aroma of sex. Her pussy was frothing,
      drenched and hungry.

      She needed fucking right this instant, and she needed it
      bad. She'd practically blurted it out in so many words,
      though her son was too scared to notice.

      His face pleading, Mark took her momentary silence to break
      in. "Honest Mom, we didn't mean anything by it! We were
      just... just having some fun, that's all. Learning stuff,
      like, like the kind of stuff you don't learn from your own
      folks! That's all it was, I swear!"

      His argument was far from convincing, but Linda knew that
      in his own naive mind he meant it.

      She took a deep breath, then answered in a chill tone. "I
      see. You and your sister learned about fucking because
      your father and I didn't teach you all about it ourselves,
      is that it? Well, I'm going to teach you now. Oh yes I
      am, since that seems to be just what you want. Strip out
      of those clothes young man, because you're about to learn a
      lesson you'll never forget."

      If Mark had been taken by surprise before, he was
      thunder-struck now. "What?"

      "You heard me perfectly well, and we both know it! Get
      those clothes off this instant, before I strip you myself!"

      The threat in her voice was so ominous that his fingers
      quickly leaped to his shirt, popping its buttons one by
      one.

      After a moment's hesitation, Linda did the same. Her hands
      were trembling with a whirlpool of emotions as she undid
      her blouse, letting it drape open. With quick, cool
      efficiency she pulled it off, then undid her bra as well.

      Mark stared, aghast, as the white cups fell free and his
      mother's big tits sprang up, jiggling and bobbing, their
      huge, swirled areolas like two wide, bulging eyes.

      It all happened in a daze, as if he were dreaming it. His
      shirt peeled off, and he unsnapped his jeans. For the
      second time that morning he wiggled them down, baring his
      wilted prick and sagging balls, then kicked his feet out of
      them entirely.

      At the same time his mom did exactly the same with her
      slacks. She arched and jerked and pushed all at once, and
      they peeled back. Her glossy red cunt fur popped out all
      spongy and glistening in the sunlight, giving him an even
      better look than he'd had last night.

      She worked the slacks to the floor of the car, then turned
      to face him with a cool green-eyed; stare. "If I'm going
      to teach any son of mine all the disgusting things he's so
      eager to learn, I'll need some room. We'll do it in the
      back, where at least we can be comfortable."

      Forcing herself not to stare down at her son's soft,
      enticing prick, she swiftly twisted around and climbed over
      the seat onto the mat that spread across the expansive back
      end of the station wagon.

      For an instant her taut round ass jutted by his face, and
      Mark actually saw his mom's pert little ass winking moistly
      at him. Then, with a flash of long pale legs, she was over
      the seat and out of sight. Her voice drifted back, a cross
      between a threatening purr and a pleading whimper.

      "Come here, Mark. Your lesson's long overdue, and it's
      time you learned it! Come here this instant, young man!"

      He gasped, his head whirling with so many different
      emotions at once that they dizzied him. "Jeez-us!"

      Then he scrambled obediently over the seat, not daring to
      disobey her again.

      Linda's legs were spread out wide, and the first thing he
      saw was his mom's cunt gaping before him, its lips all
      pooched out and drooling hot juices right in his path.

      It happened that quickly. Her son sprawled over the car
      seat, gaping at her open pussy, and Linda reacted without
      thinking. She grabbed his thick hair with both hands and
      pulled his head down.

      "This is what you want--look at it! Look at my pussy,
      Mark! Get a good look. I want you to get your fill!"

      With those chilling words she arched, forcing his head down
      in the same motion.

      Suddenly Mark's lips were mashed against wet, slippery cunt
      flesh. The juices smeared his face, its fat creased mouth
      smacking at his chin. That abrupt act made him hiss, and
      his mouth opened.

      "Mppff--Mom--Muhh--hummppfl"

      His tongue jabbed out automatically, and flicked across his
      mother's pussy. Hot juice poured over it and she clutched
      his head with a groan.

      "Oh God, yesss! Eat me, damn it! Eat me out, you horny
      little bastard! I'll teach you just what pussies are
      for--eat it! Ohhh, oh fucking yes!"

      Though taken by surprise, he responded naturally. With
      that first taste of cunt cream tingling on his mouth, Mark
      lapped out again. His tongue slapped all the way up and
      down his mom's greasy cunt, plowing between her flared cunt
      lip folds and swooping up the cream that poured out of her.

      That eager slapping probe tore across her fat, oiled clit,
      and she soared up in a spasm as pure jolts of pleasure
      surged through her.

      Linda wasn't behaving very motherly at all by now, and in a
      vague, guilty way she knew it. But things had gone too far
      beyond simple motherhood by this time, urged on by her own
      anger. And the first jabbing strokes of Mark's tongue had
      her wrenching up in delicious waves of delight, swept along
      in a tide of bliss that had her hunching urgently and
      twisting her fingers in his hair, grinding his mouth to her
      cunt even harder. "Yes! Get your tongue up my pussy,
      Mark, eat me out good! That's it, lick up my juices and
      gobble them all down, because I've got lots more where that
      came from! Ohhh baby, ream me out! Ohhh, Gohhhd!"

      She let out a delighted wail as he followed instructions to
      the letter, lapping her moist tender cunt folds and then
      diving his tongue between.

      Despite all his experiences with Pam and Susie, Mark hadn't
      been prepared to find himself eating his own mother's
      pussy. But he was doing it now, and from his mom's
      shuddering reactions he seemed to be doing it just right.
      His tongue raced out of her musky cunt hole to flick the
      fat bud of her clit and dip along her entire. pussy gash,
      then raced back into her again. Plunging in and out like a
      cock, fucking his mother with fast jabbing strokes that had
      her twisting and mewling in the back of the station wagon,
      he plastered his face to her cunt with greedy slurpy
      sounds.

      He nuzzled into all that wet pliant pussy flesh with a fury
      now, totally caught up. His eager probe plunged deep into
      Linda's thrashing cunt, and she hunched up to meet it.

      "Yehhs, do it like that! Give it to me, nice and fast!
      Tongue my pussy all the way, you sister-fucking little
      bastard ! Yes, yessss!"

      Just the sight of her son crouched between her thighs
      gnawing at her heated cunt was enough to send her wrenching
      up in the first bursts of orgasm. His tongue darted
      between her cuntlips with frantic need, lunging into her
      with fast wiggling stabs. She hunched even harder,
      exploding in a sudden burst of climax that wrenched her up
      with a vengeance. "Yesss! I'm coming, eat me good! Good
      damn it, good, go--ooooohhh! Aaaannnnh!

      Her ass bucked and her pussy smashed against Mark's face as
      he slurped his tongue in and out of her in rapid-fire jabs,
      reaming her to orgasm.

      Linda reeled, pouring a flood of cunt juice over her son's
      mouth. She came in rippling surges of uninhibited release,
      until every fire-cracker of bliss had burst inside her.
      Then she pulled his head roughly up, jerking him toward
      her.

      "You... you sweet mother-sucking baby, that was a good
      start! But I've got a better punishment than that in mind.
      Get up here and give me just what you gave Pam! If you've
      got the balls to fuck your own sister, then you can damned
      well do it to your mother! Get it in me this instant
      Mark--now, nowww!"

      Jerking him to her with a painful twist of his hair, she
      swooped down with one hand and clutched his throbbing
      prick.

      "Oh jeez--"

      Mark scrambled atop her gladly, his cock now so stiff and
      sore that it felt as if it might explode right in her hand
      at any moment. He sprawled between her wide-spread thighs
      and his prickhead dove hard against the wet, hot flesh of
      his mom's sopping pussy.

      She guided his cock deftly between her flared cunt lips,
      and let out a squawk as it slid into place and slithered up
      her cunt hole.

      "Unnnh! Oh fucking yes, that's how I want it! Fuck me,
      just like you did Pammy! Dick my cunt!"

      He crashed atop her, and his cock sank to its base up her
      pussy. Instantly their mouths crushed together, and Linda
      groaned between her son's lips as she licked off the warm
      film of her own cunt cream up and stabbed her tongue down
      his throat.

      Mark's cock began to piston in and out of her with
      machine-like strokes, his balls tickling the crevice of her
      ass with every thrust. She hunched up to meet him, her
      pussy lips snapping with rubber resilience about his veined
      cockshaft. With all the fury of an insatiable mother she
      fucked herself onto her son's meaty prick, abruptly pushing
      his head down to one of her big, taut-nippled tits.

      "Suck my tits, you bastard! Suck me and fuck me just like
      Pam! I'll give you all the fucking you can take, if that's
      what you want! Do it! Do--ooooh! Yes, yessss oh fucking
      baby, give it to me nice and hard!"

      Mark sucked greedily on the huge bloated nipple that shoved
      into his mouth, catching it in his teeth and chewing as
      well. Her pussy slid up and down his greased prick with
      such intensity that' he didn't have to pump at all, but he
      did just the same. Suddenly it was fun to make his mom
      scream after the way she'd just treated him. It was fun to
      bite down on her big nipple a little extra, to piston his
      cock in her pussy with a strength that smashed her ass
      against the mat.

      She wailed and sobbed, humping all the harder. He sucked
      on her tit until its rubbery hardness was crammed deep in
      his throat. He fucked his cock to thing that his mom
      wanted, just the way she wanted it.

      "Oh God, God that's fucking sweet! Stick it in me lover,
      stick it in me good! Fuck me just like that horny slut
      cousin of yours, so I can feel your cum in my pussy! Ohhh,
      oh my God honey, you're making your mother come! I'm going
      to come, sweet baby give it to me faster! Faster! Guhhh
      -- gunnnhhh -- gaaaaahbhhhh!"

      Bouncing with a ferocity that bobbed the whole back end of
      the car, Linda soared to climax. It was like nothing she'd
      ever known before. Perhaps because it was her son's
      precious young cock that was making her come, she came in a
      spiraling bliss that seemed to explode up and up forever,
      drilling her totally onto his pounding prick.

      "Aaannnggghhh!" she screamed, twisting and bunching in
      sheer unbelievable waves of utter bliss.

      That was all Mark could take. He slammed down onto his
      mother's heaving, voluptuous body, and let his load of jism
      erupt inside her.

      Caught at the very peak of her orgasm, Linda shrieked as
      her son's hot cum spurted into her pussy, unloading blast
      after searing blast. She took it all, and hunched for
      more. Her legs wrapped around his youthful, pumping ass,
      and she writhed in unleashed luxury.

      "Aaannh--aaaahh--ahhhhh, yehhhhssss..."

      Purring in utter abandon, she sank back on the floor
      twitching with release, as Mark's cock continued to
      splatter the last of its dregs deep inside her. At last he
      collapsed, panting.

      "Oh Mom, oh shit ..."

      "Uhhhm..." Linda clung to his sweaty body, her cum-filled
      pussy refusing to release her son's slumping prick. "Ohhh,
      baby ... good, so fucking good..."

      Mark couldn't have agreed more. He nestled against his
      mom's gasping body and heard her giggle.

      "Now... now isn't that better than fucking your sister?
      Or even your cousin, for that matter?"

      He had to nod, his hands stealing over his mother's huge,
      pliant tits. "Yeah Mom, it was... oh fuck, it was
      fantastic!"

      Linda laughed softly. With his cock snuggled warmly in her
      cunt, she couldn't feel even a twinge of guilt. "And if I
      ever catch you sniffing around the girls again, we're going
      to have this little conversation again ! Do you
      understand?"

      For the first time, Mark really did understand. Hell, his
      mom was every bit as hot as Susie! Maybe even hotter!
      "Yeah, I understand. Whatever you say, Mom."

      "Ummm, good. And if you need any reminders, just come to
      me first. That's what mothers are for, baby..."

      What this mother's for, anyway, she thought. And the
      thought made her smile.
