When you are in the field, you don't always have administrative access to the switch, and you definitely don't have time to configure a SPAN port. EtherPwn is the "break glass" tool for your go-bag—a passive, micro-sized Ethernet tap that guarantees physical access to network traffic in seconds. Designed for field operations where footprint and speed are critical, EtherPwn requires no power and leaves no digital fingerprint. It physically isolates your monitoring interface from the target network, allowing you to plug into a chaotic environment, diagnose issues, or capture handshakes without risking accidental packet injection or revealing your presence. Field-Ready Specs: Zero-Config Deployment: Plug in and start capturing immediately. Ultra-Compact: Minimal weight and size; fits in any Altoids tin or pocket organizer. Passive Stealth: 100% invisible to network scanners and NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems). Safe Monitoring: Physical isolation protects your laptop from surges or hostile networks. Note: The EtherPwn is a passive tap designed for 10/100Base-T networks. While it can be placed on Gigabit links, it will force the connection to negotiate down to 100Mbps to function physically. For full-duplex monitoring, two listening ports (or a dual-port USB NIC) are recommended to capture both upstream and downstream traffic simultaneously.
