Similar device is in Innocence, although it appears to have a pistol grip interface, a la certain scene involving Batou in a convenience store.

<p>Couldn't find a wiki entry or anything like that, but from what I've seen (and I've seen all of GITS a few times) it's a special device to paralyze people or any other thing that has this port.</p>

<p>I don't remember any explanation about how it works, it just does. Section 9 uses it often enough throughout the years to assume it's reliable.</p>

This is what characters refer to a [ghost key](http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18371/what-is-this-ghost-infiltration-key). You see it appears toward the end of chapter 3 in the original manga.
