I have seen a compelling demo (discretion suggests that I don't say of
quite what and where, but it was in the UK) of a system that would
listen in to a network (wired or wireless), then access a machine, run a
series of exploits against that machine until one worked [people are
terribly sloppy about patch installation] then upload a little program
which provided remote access to file systems and their contents....

... essentially what the bad guys use, but packaged into a product that
provides any Tom Dick or Harriet with leet skillz (along with all the
logging that a chain of evidence might require...)
