Android for Penetration Testers - PwnPad Goodness

This article is a practical how‑to for configuring a Nexus 7 PwnPad for extended physical penetration tests. It covers using GSM and reverse SSH for remote access, OTG and OTG‑Y cables and docking options to allow simultaneous charging and USB peripherals, backing up system and app data, flashing alternative kernels (e.g., Timur's) and CyanogenMod, and the tradeoffs such as loss of packet injection when using certain kernels. The content is an operational guide for pentesters rather than a report of an active security incident.
