Open this lesson in your favourite AI. It'll walk you through the why, explain the demo, and quiz you on the try-it list.
Form factor is the biggest determinant of an op's success. An attack on a laptop in a server room is detected in 3 minutes; the same payload inside a power strip is detected in 3 weeks (or never). Choices: drop box (disguised — printer, fan), body-worn (under clothes during the engagement window), implant (built into existing infrastructure — wall socket, UPS, AC adapter).
Real-world templates: Hak5 LAN Turtle looks like every USB-Ethernet dongle. Packet Squirrel installs inline on Ethernet and is invisible. Plunder Bug fits in a pocket. Custom: gut a UPS, install Pi + 4G hat, plug it back in.
Use these three in order. Each builds on the one before.
In one paragraph, explain why form factor matters more than chip choice for hardware ops.
