3COM's Ergo Audrey Hacked 134

It looks like the 3COM Ergo Audrey hacking scene is finally taking off. A guy named Sowbug has hacked the 3COM Ergo Audrey to shell. He has pictures of it here(1) and here(2). Another site has opened to cover this hack, here(3). And of course the Linux Hacker messageboards are covering it quite a bit.

    www.audreyhacking.com is already slashdotted.

    Maybe it's just that the name isn't that familiar, but the idea of "hacking Audrey" has a certain creepy resonance to it... thinking of the people that I know named Audrey... hmmm...

    The first thing I noticed was the beans also.

    I feel the beans cast an air of suspicion over this whole thing.

    Its like this guy is working on his computer but instead of drinking a Coke, he just eats a can of beans? That aint right.

    "INFAMOUS HACKER SOWBUG ARRESTED BY FBI"

    Tuesday, August 7 - Newswire

    Today the FBI arrested the infamous hacker
    "sowbug" on a criminal complaint from 3com.

    The FBI alleges that "sowbug" violated the DMCA
    by reverse engineering 3com's "Audrey"
    device.

    A company spokesperson explained : "sowbug
    violated the DMCA by bypassing our elaborate
    security mechanisms to prevent unauthorized
    access to the operating system. ingenuity
    will not be tolerated. We intend to send a message
    to the dangerous hacker community that using our
    products in ways 3com never considered is totally
    unacceptable."

    Supporters of the DMCA are calling for the death
    penalty, arguing "a mere 5 years imprisonment
    is not a strong enough deterrent to free thinking
    and research."

    Ergo Audry? Sounds like a model you'd find at Real Doll. [realdoll.com]
