I do not know what the market size of an embedded scanner is in comparison to other systems beyond having a low cost/low power system that could distribute the scanning more. The speed of the ARM in combination with the memory/procession power needed to do large scale scanning would be the limiting factor I could see in implementing such a 'tool'. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
