Shmoocon and Black Hat, DC

Howdy y'all,

I'll be presenting two new lectures in DC next month. The first, at Shmoocon, is on the construction of wireless sensors. Beginning with a product idea, Josh Gourneau and I will step you through the design of a modern sensor node's hardware and software. Then we walk you through the design of a brand new node: hardware design, fabrication, porting an operating system, writing an application, maintaining power efficiency, and proper use of the radio. Who knows, we might even make radio version of our neighborly Party Mode Belt Buckle?

At Shmoocon, be sure to catch Off the Shelf Security - Meeting Crime with an Open Source Mind, which immediately follows my talk in the same room.

My second lecture, at Black Hat DC, will describe the reverse engineering and exploitation of wireless sensors. You will learn how to take a wireless sensor apart, reverse engineer its firmware, sniff the various buses it contains, craft an embedded stack overflow, and some interesting techniques with radio jamming.
