From the site:
“Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening. “

Title: Show and Tell: Super MiniPwner
Abstract: The TP-Link WR703N is a low cost wireless access point that has replaced the venerable Linksys WRT54G as the most popular device to crack open and tinker with. Many project tutorials have sprung up on how to hack this device from a hardware and software perspective. One such project is the “minipwner” coined by Kevin Bong with his site www.minipwner.com. This talk builds off of that concept by trying to upgrade and implement as many features as possible while still keeping the original case. Why the original case? Because I said so. We double the RAM and flash storage, add a usb hub, usb sdcard reader storage, usb to Ethernet port, serial port over usb, and finally we have integration with the Teensy so you can run keyboard commands remotely over WiFi. I call this device the very original name of super-minipwner.
