Hands-on with Wi-Fi hacking
Details
Want to learn how Wi-Fi hacking works, and go home with your own esp8266 Wi-Fi deauther? Come to the first LA Cyber Weapons Lab meetup to learn how hackers can shut down any Wi-Fi network in seconds with a low-cost microcontroller. Kody Kinzie will explain how the most common Wi-Fi attacks work, focusing on using low-cost microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi computers to crack passwords and attack IoT devices like WI-Fi security cameras.
** IMPORTANT NOTES! ***
GET TICKETS HERE $50 per person or $30 for Students with ID: https://www.universe.com/events/cyber-weapons-lab-la-hands-on-with-wi-fi-hacking-tickets-burbank-2TH5R3
Cash/Paypal/Venmo accepted at the door.
All class dues help keep NSL open for our community.
What you'll learn: How Wi-Fi works and how it's broken. What kinds of tools and devices can hack Wi-Fi. How to use a low-cost tool to disable an IoT camera. How to legally and safely practice Wi-Fi hacking. How Wi-Fi microcontrollers can be programmed.
The first 20 registered attendees will go home with an ESP8266 microcontroller pre-flashed with Wi-Fi hacking tools and a web-based interface.
Prerequisites:
Students should bring a micro USB cable and a laptop running Windows, MacOS, or Linux. If on Windows, install PuTTY from here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
