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 ìminipwnerî 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.
