Hacking Transcend WiFi SD Cards

[peterw]

Prepare for the Hax
I suspected from the beginning that the card contained some sort of embedded Linux system. If so, extending its functionality could be quite easy! But first I would need to take control of the system. I had only used the Android and iOS apps with it so far, but it was obvious that the easiest solution for interfacing with PCs would be a web app. The following thought came to my mind immediately: 

 

"If the mobile apps are so crappy, then so must be the webapp/webserver... maybe it is full of bugs, ready to be exploited."

 

Boy, was I right!

Can't believe that now even WLAN enabled SD cards can be used like that.

You'd be shocked the amount of wifi technology that is vulnerable.

Full wifi in a SD card??!?!?!?!   This sounds like fun!

Anyone own one of these?   What are the product sales features?? Being able to get to your data without unloading of the card basically?

Yeah you can take pictures and send them directly to your device / pc, etc so you "never have to worry about space again!"

I must say, this is the first time i heard of WiFi SD Card.

Just go through their website, the product seem to be quite cool (crappy built-in software aside)

But... my phone has 1+16GB and my camera has a 32GB SD.
