These are more general purpose than just those attacks, the author of the firmware has demo videos of cables attached to Android and iOS devices that when the payload runs they open the system browser and loads a specific page. Depending on what you can do with a web page at any given time on those devices it could be a springboard.

You could also do some passive/active data gathering. On Windows when you plug in an iOS device, if the device trusts the computer it will allow it to access all the photos and videos on the device. The cable it self could then start grabbing those images and sending them over the WiFi link. I don't know if these cables support that, but the concept is valid.
