The use of physical drop boxes placed behind a firewall is nothing new. There is in fact a specific Linux distro for the Rasberry Pi targeted at this use case (see pwnpi.sourceforge.net). It comes packaged with a large suite of penetration testing tools. While building from scratch is a useful exercise for engineers, reinventing the wheel does not merit much attention.
