Yoggie Pico: segurança via USB

O boletim do Tom's Hardware analisa esta solução de segurança, que consiste num computador miniaturizado numa espécie de pen drive.

"(...) envision a 500-MHz miniaturized computer about the size of a pack of gum that integrates into the runtime environment on an existing computer attached to a network. This mini-computer offloads network processing tasks onto its hardware, thereby relieving the primary CPU to focus on other, more general computing tasks. It also provides direct coverage for its host computer, delivers firewall and intrusion detection capabilities alongside spam and spyware scanning and runs a Linux 2.6 kernel. Imagine that such a device is so thoughtfully designed it even prevents itself from becoming a vector of infection, disables network interfaces when lost or disconnected, and can be controlled through a centralized management server or through a management server that the vendor operates. And it doesn’t plug into any network jack-it needs just a single USB 2.0 port."
