Welp Time to show off some new gear I've collected since being away.
The x360usb pro 2. This is a special sata chipset and power supply for xbox dvd drives. This allows you to do hardware repairs (cough flash the dvd drive to pirate games cough) to the dvd drive of an xbox360. The first image is my modified cable with removable probe to force specific drives into vendor mode and the latter is the device itself. Free games anyone?
http://imgur.com/a/XOuOaThis is my mini usb serial device that allows me to tap into the serial outputs of devices to see what they are outputting as debugging or the like. In the case for my router based projects It outputs dmesg logs as well as linux root terminal access to the device.
http://imgur.com/a/tj6T8This is the Octopus 1:4 usb splitter using the FE1.1 chipset for true usb2.0 speeds. (Most on 3bay are fake that only allow 1.1 speeds.) It's being attached to my router project to allow me to add in a second wireless NIC and external flash storage.
http://imgur.com/a/dwTb9I don't have any good images of it but I also acquired a TPLINK WR703n micro router which I flashed with a custom compiled openwrt image that I made. The router runs on a 400mhz mips32 atheros processor and contains the ath9k chipset for its main wireless NIC. It also has 32mb of ram and 16mb of flash storage if I recall (Doesn't matter since you can do an external root file system onto a flash drive and have 14gb of space and 2gb of swap space). This coupled with a usb wireless NIC and a flash drive creates a strong penetration testing unit for networks. Since openwrt is based of the linux kernel it is trivial to port many applications to run on it. This far I have many penetration testing tools added to it that allow me to preform wireless and wired attacks on the network. It is also programed to, once internet connectivity is acquired, reverse connect back to a server I own in which allows me to access the router node inside the victims network giving me further control to compromise other systems of the network.
And now here is the TPLINK MS3020 which I just recently got for free from an online website which is identical to the WR703n but slightly larger in size. As you can see it is fairly small in size and it clearly marks through hole standard pitch holes for the serial. All you would need to do is solder in a header for easy access to the serial output.

I'm sure I have gotten more tech crap, but I can't recall at the moment, oh well.
