Red Team
While many find hardware hacking interesting and worth pursuing to expand their abilities, they also can find it intimidating or expensive to start. This talk will unpack why hardware hacking matters and equip attendees with the knowledge to get started. We'll break down key terminology, explore essential tools and techniques, common vulnerabilities and exploits, and if the demo gods are kind, bring it all together with a live demo. To top it off, we’ll spark your creativity with project ideas you can try at home. Whether you're a seasoned hacker or just hardware-curious, this session will inspire and empower you to push your boundaries.
