While I’m unsure how it would pick up anything useful I can certainly see how it would work in an enterprise office. I’ve worked in the public sector for decades, and if you left an iPhone charger somewhere in an open office space, it would get used by someone. Slip a few of those chargers into one of our massive orders for hardware and no one would ever find out.
Could be configured as a router, access point to extend a network, or could join a network wirelessly and then bridge devices on the LAN to it. Also had optical audio out. Really remarkable little device considering it came out in like 2004.
> Drop one of these in a Mcdonald's, and nobody’s going to expect a thing. You can leave it for days, while it collects data and marshals it back to your home network. brave assumptions. it's will be gone in 30 minutes.
Ideally, you'd want something firmly attached to a wall, something that looks industrial/enterprisey, like it's an important part of the building alarm, water, power, HVAC or network system. Then people won't fuck with it.
And when you're installing it, wear a brightly coloured safety vest, helmet, badge, clipboard, safety boots and a tool belt around your waist. That way you look super official and nobody will question you and I just made this stuff up, no guarantee that it'll work IRL :)

Yeah, stuxnet type of distribution, you keep few of them around the office "dropped on the pavement" and chance of success is quite high

Guess everyone has forgotten about Conversnitch, the RaspberryPi based microphone disguised as a lamp: http://vimeo.com/87564506

Not quite. Mainlining ARM chips tend to be a demanding task, and the not-so-widespread A33 is still a work in progress
How can you leave that 'in a McDonalds for days'? I bet it would be nicked within the hour (by someone thinking it's just a charger).
Perhaps a wall-plug air-freshener form factor would last longer?
