The BlackDog is a fully self-contained Linux computer with a built-in biometric fingerprint reader. BlackDog is completely powered from the USB port of the host computer – no external power adapter is required. BlackDog is a mobile personal server which allows the user to use the open source Linux operating system on any computer with a USB port. The device has proprietary technology and intellectual property developed by the now defunct company Realm Systems Inc., which at one point was transferred to Echo Identity Systems and finally ended up belonging to Inaura Corporation. When plugged into the host computer’s USB port, the BlackDog starts up, automatically launching the X Window system for Windows Xming and a software NAT router via an autorun application that the BlackDog presents to the host through a virtual USB CD-ROM. Once those applications are running, the virtual USB CD-ROM drive disconnects, and a virtual USB-to-Ethernet adapter is connected to provide the communications link. The host machine’s monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Internet connection are used by the BlackDog for the duration of the session.
