Tony and Takeshi gave a talk about hardware hacking and reverse engineering at the Microchip EU Masters event; a technical training event for embedded control engineers. They showed routes to extract firmware from chipsets, then how to analyse the extracted binaries for vulnerabilities. The talk concluded with demonstrations of two remote command injection attacks on […]
Tony Gee was speaking at the Energy & Utilities Alliance Smart building event and asks "2017: The year your privates were violated by your kettle?"
Following last year's Las Vegas event, Ken Munro will be speaking again, this time digging in to the world of adult toys and the repercussions poorly secured devices have for all of us. CANCELLED DUE TO HURRICANE IRMA
Application Security Flaws in the Internet of Things Ken looked at the reasons why IoT devices are flawed, be it commercial pressure, code re-use, or even simple ignorance of the importance and brand benefits of securely coded apps. He explained and offered advice that applies equally to IoT device manufacturers, app developers and anyone else […]
Tony Gee and Andrew Tierney will be showing the evolving attack surface of modern vehicles, from firmware updates through to delivering malware through encoded music. They’ll discuss real-life risks of vehicle hacking, for example, taking control of drivetrain components through what is known as a ‘downgrade’ attack. It’s not all bad news though, they’ll be […]
