I have found portscan tools, theres even a winPcap version for winCE,
<<--snipped from http://winpcap.polito.it/install/default.htm
The CE version was tested successfully (not by us) on Compaq Pocket PC and
HP Jornada.,
<<--end of snip
i did do some portscanning from an iPaq, it was extremely slow via CDPD
connection, not sure how it would have performed on a wireless lan card.

Subject: Using IPaqs or other handhelds as penetration devices
Hi there...
I was wondering whether any exploits or penetration tools exist that run on
Compaq IPaq PDAs (running Windows CE or whatever they call it now), or any
other handheld devices, for that matter. This is part risk analysis
regarding the use of such devices, and part looking at using such a device
for lightweight ad-hoc penetration or vulnerability testing.
Thanks!
