Today I went to the Watchung Reservation with Vlad and his brother. We were seeking the “abandoned” village. The trails were not particularly well marked but land marks helped us find our way to this village. The ironic part is that people live in the abandoned village and even more disappointing is that none of the houses were accessible. I was particularly in the mood too explore a run down building but the park made sure it would be extremely difficult to get in to the buildings.
Following that we took a trip over to the Devil’s Factory where we tried to not get arrested. Vlad was particularly worried about getting busted by the cops for trespassing so we didn’t spend much time there and never actually went in to the building. Hopefully I can go back there sometime.
The pictures
It seems that my latest purchase, a Microsloth MN-700 Wireless router may have some decent hardware hacking potential. It was built on the Broadcom BCM4702 platform which happens to be used in like every generic wireless access device including the Linksys WRT54G which has been so extensively modified already[seattle wireless]. I’m thinking it might be interesting to try and flash the device with a linksys firmware but before that I wanna look at the detailed board scans of the linksys. No point in frying my router if I can tell visually that its a completely different device.
It seems that some broadcast UDP packets to and from port 42424 are used to locate and version the device. I wish I had though of this sooner as I have already patched the device up to the latest firmware. I wish I had waited and used a sniffer on the data to see if I could do it manually again with alternative firmware.
Sleeptime.
