The Pwn Plug is a little white box that can hack your network

I never had to use 3G, just an connect to an unbroadcast SSID of the router. If I was really determined to have 3G I would tether a pay-and-go phone to a usb port, but I don't see the usefulness of 3G when I have wifi..

You said similar for $80. Does your busted pelican box look as innocuous as this thing does in an average corporate environment?

Have you done a lot of large scale corporate pen tests? I used to do a lot of pentest/wireless audits for IBM. Sure I could sit in the parking lot of Dr. Bobs Dermatology's practice and maintain a decent signal strength to his wireless network. But what are you going to do in downtown Manhattan when the client is on the 25th-35th floors of a building in the financial district? Does your pay as you go phone fit into your classy corporate looking pelican box? How does that pelican box look now that there is a second cord running out of it to charge the pay as you go phone?

Now do you see the usefulness of built in 3G?

PS: I just noticed that you have posted your description twice now. Is it $80 or $100?

You would use a 15$ usb 3g modem, just like I assume the pwn plug does.
