Yup, I insstalled, those tools originally, but have not re-installeed since the last flash upgrade.  Those kind of tools would be great on a bootable flash card.  

Anyway, I have mixed feelings about the Pen Test device.  I think the price tag is high, but it sounds like they have put togeher a good product and if they provide good support as well, then people will definitely pay for convenience.  I cannot off the top of my head think of its uses for law enforcement, but I am sure they exist. 

I do not agree with not making the device public.  I know that there are more dangerous devices in the wild, so making this modded 770 slightly difficult to obtain does not protect anyone.  

My last thought is that any security admin worht his or her salt should be able to put something like this together without too much trouble.  Where I see this company possibly making an interesting device is a version that is nearly the same but includes a dedicated processor for breaking encryption, like those old DES-busters a few years back.  That would be interesting.

Now I kind of want to see what I can put together on my 770 but I know i don't have the time.  Hmm, I guess that's where their market it, huh?  ;)
