Security consultant Abe Usher
explores the idea how Apples iPod can pose a major security risk for enterprises. He wrote a small python tool,
slurp.exe, that when it is run from an iPod, can very quickly copy data files off of a PC and on to an iPod.

Slurp searches for the "C:\Documents and Settings\" directory on local hard drives, recurses through all of the subdirectories, and copies all document files. Using slurp.exe on my iPod, it took me 65 seconds to copy all document files (*.doc, *.xls, *.htm, *.url, *.xml, *.txt, etc.) off of my computer as a logged in user. Without a username and password I was able to use a boot CDROM to bypass the login password and copy the document files from my hard drive to my iPod in about 3 minutes 15 seconds.
