Microchip Zena Reversed

Howdy y'all,

Neighbor Joshua Wright has reverse engineered the Microchip Zena Zigbee sniffer's USB protocol, allowing packets to be dumped and channels to be hopped from Linux. Kismet support is the next step.

The EZ430RF2500 uses similar tricks in Windows with its HID driver, making Linux support quite difficult. If you have a Windows machine and are interested in doing the same to the RF2500 kit, please send an email my way, with a carbon copy to Josh.

MSP430static on SourceForge, TIDC

I'll be releasing msp430static, my Perl tool for reverse engineering of MSP430 firmware, on SourceForge after my session at the Texas Instruments Developer's Conference in Dallas. The session is in the Manchester Room at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. My talk primarily concerns the injection of machine code into MSP430-based wireless sensor nodes, but I'll be doing a short demonstration of the tool following my talk for those that are interested.

UPDATE: The code has been posted at SourceForge. See msp430static.sourceforge.net.
