HDDG 34: Reverse Engineering

We've teamed up with the Reverse Engineering Meetup in Mountainview this month. (https://www.meetup.com/Mountain-View-Reverse-Engineering-Meetup/) Come enjoy some hands-on reverse engineering this month. Plus snacks and bevs!

Ruth Grace Wong - Live Debugging! (Firmware from a Chinese Contractor)
Steven Xing - Packets: Gotta Catch Them All!

Special guests: The hosts of The Unnamed Reverse Engineering podcast

This month we will follow both of our presenters along with our laptops. Be ready for something different!

Ruth will be teaching us how to find a bug, learn some firmware basics, and explore some nuances of the industry and having firmware made in China.

Ruth is a site reliability engineer by day and manufacturing engineer by night. She also loves documentation and writes about manufacturing for Supplyframe Hardware.

Steven is going to demo how to watch network traffic. We'll see if we can reverse engineer some useful information or figure out a few basic control APIs. We'll have Wireshark, tcpdump, and a few IoT device stand-ins.

Steven's a software/hardware engineer who's jumped around from working on hardware platforms, wearables, audio, radio systems, and sports broadcasting. He's always happy to talk about the strange intersections of those spaces.

After the talks, there will be demos, community announcements, and socializing. If you'd like to give a 2 minute demo/ community announcement, please see the organizers when you arrive to get set up.

A community announcement includes looking for a project partner, a job, offering a project/ job, the announcement of your startup launch, your Crowdfunding pitch, etc.

We're looking forward to seeing you Tuesday, October 16th, at 6:30pm!
