So here's the thing. I was making a lot of these things for personal use, but I would also kind of sell it to friends and stuff. It's kind of like the back alleys of DEF CON type situation. I wasn't advertising this, but it's like, if you know me, I know you, I'll give you some of these things. But it became clear I had to start scaling up.

Like, the first batch of prototype OMG cables, I think it was 2019, I brought as many as I could. They took me... It was like 8 or 16 hours per cable, and 50% of them were failures, which is terrible. When you make something like an electronic product, usually you get like 95%, 99% yields, which means 1% to 5% are failures that you throw away.

These things were so hard to self-assemble that I was throwing away 50% of what I made. Wow. So that automatically doubles the amount of time invested to make a cable. So I'm doing like 16-ish hours per cable to make them. Wow.

Silly. So, yeah, I was kind of hitting my limit of like what I could accomplish with the time I had. And it's like, you know what? I need to learn how to, like, delegate this outsource manufacturing assembly. Because I was also doing this, like, hand-placing things. You go to an assembler. So, there's a couple steps here.

So, I'm going to run you through, basically, the manufacturing pipeline that I slowly learned is important here. But first, Hack 5. It's really important to mention Hack 5 here. So, USB rubber ducky, already mentioned. You know, that's That's Darren, Darren Kitchen, his phone number. He, you know, that was his baby invented about 15 years ago.

He's got so many other things like the LAN turtle, the Wi-Fi pineapple, just packets for us.

They're similar to the ANCAP, right? What's the LAN turtle? Exactly, right? So all of these are different kind of like hardware implants or hardware tools for... They're multipurpose, but often used for offensive security. So like the land turtle is like a network implant that can control a computer, but also like sniff up network data or just do malicious network stuff. What else?
