Very cool tool!: Serial adapters

Very easy to use. Well documented. The new firmware is easy to flash. Great tool for an inexpensive way to read and write EEPROM. I use it alongside my J-Link.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

A must for any serious hacker.

Cons
  • Not the best

Not as advertised in computer cable adapters

This is not a v3.6a board, this is a v3b board. As seen in the photos provided, various components, layout and silkscreen. Reset banners when accessing the device reflect the outdated version of the board and firmware. This is not BP v3.6a.

Pros
  • . Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Updates

Need firmware but otherwise a good product.

I had to update this to the latest version to use it in a way that was never intended. My Proxmark 3 needed a flash to work properly and it was mandated by the forums. I bought this, had to flash it, but once I did I flashed my Proxmark in no time.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

The most useful tool in my kit...

Bus pirate is the most useful tool in my kit. I'm an electrical engineer and I use it every day. I've used it to identify and access service ports on military radios. I used it to disable tamper protection in industrial electronics. This list has no end. If you are an engineer, technician or hardware hacker, you need one of these. Be sure to purchase a wire harness if it is not included. That makes a lot of things easier.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
