בשני מפגשים Agentמאוטומציה ל־ :n8n סדנת
בשני מפגשים נלמד לבנות תהליכים אוטומטיים חכמים שמחליפים עבודה ידנית חוזרת: חיבורים בין כלים, קבלת החלטות פשוטות, טיפול במצבים לא צפויים ושילוב בינה מלאכותית, כשצריך. נתחיל מהבסיס - איך חושבים אוטומציה נכון, איך מחברים שירותים שונים ואיך גורמים לזרימה “להבין” מה לעשות בכל מצב. נמשיך לעבודה עם מידע אמיתי, תגובות ממערכות חיצוניות ובניית תהליכים מורכבים שעובדים לבד מקצה לקצה. הסדנה מעשית, בהירה ומתאימה גם לכל מי שמעולם לא בנה/תה אוטומציה אבל רוצה לצאת עם יכולת אמיתית לבנות סוכנים שעובדים במקומו/ה. למבוגרים/ות (16+). לא נדרש ידע מוקדם.
עלות: 500 ש"ח (ליחיד/ה) תושב חוץ, 450 ש"ח (ליחיד/ה) תושב יהוד

Meetup #19: (yet another) Hardware and IoT Cybersecurity oriented meetup
**THIS EVENT IS LOOKING FOR A HOST AFTER THE ORIGINAL HOTS BACKED OFF FROM IT ON MARCH 2025. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HOST US - LET US KNOW, AND WE WILL SET THE EVENT DATE WITH YOU, EARLIER THAN THE DATE SET NOW WHICH IS A RANDOM PLACEHOLDER.**
For reasons beyond our understanding, after setting the meetup on the 24.3 (instead of having the Kernel debugging one then) due to GM's request, and postponing it in a week due to logistics issues at the host, the meetup will be postponed/rescheduled/moved.
**We had great backup plans, but they would require me to pay to host you, and I'm done doing that (+they were in another city).**
Anyways, GM say:
"Thanks for registering to our meetup!
Unfortunately, due to an unexpected logistic issue, we will not be able to hold the event as planned.
We hope to be able to hold it at a future time and update accordingly."
**I am sorry for the inconvenience and the disappointment. Trust me I am much more disappointed than you are, and it is time for you to get your companies to sponsor our meetup group on a yearly basis, so that no meetup will ever be cancelled or rescheduled again, ever.**
I am leaving the original text in tact, because this meetup will happen at another time.
\-\-\-\-\-
**Double registration alert:**
Registration is mandatory and \*will be checked\* so please make sure you RSVP here, and in addition register in You **absolutely** have to register in this link, and **carefully** read the event guidelines there. It is **IMPORTANT** and we want you, by all means, to avoid any inconveniences (due to being lazy and not reading what I wrote **CAREFULLY**)
**IMPORTANT: you can still submit a talk** \- and we are looking forward to your lightning talks\. I gave an example of what a good lightning talk is in the Toka meetup \(that we were unfortunately forbidden from publishing online\) \. [Use the CFP](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11GQ-2_A39eyiyGywbocTfQzBflUJwr0-wMVyNxeGE_g/edit#response=ACYDBNjtFK3fNq435gUsZMp8vlvQYRBtiEDDGaDPa2KpwV8pY8AcT4RmaGYFD_G172uQRUE), Luke. And please do it before March 17th. If you do it after it you will happily be considered for the next events.
More updates will come, including a MANDATORY additional registration link. Do not unsubscribe from updates - if you don't read the updates or otherwise follow our community rules, you will meet the consequences.
Everyone, including everyone **MUST** RSVP to the meetup event, and when time comes - fill the registration note. Respect your hosts!
**AGENDA**
5:30PM-6:00PM **Gathering. Networking, High Fives, Hugs (Everyone @ Embedded Israel)**
6:00PM-6:15PM **Welcome notes: About Embedded Israel, community Building - Ron Munitz (Founder @ Embedded Israel)**
6:30PM - 7:00PM **Intro to Hardware Reverse Engineering -** **Dan Peled (Cyber Security Group Manager @ GM)**
In this talk, "Intro to Hardware Reverse Engineering," we’ll cover the basics of embedded systems, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and techniques to physically access and analyze hardware.
We’ll explore common components, debug interfaces, and basic hardware defenses. By the end, attendees will have the essential skills to reverse engineer simple embedded devices and identify debug interfaces.
7:00PM - 7:10PM **Networking break**
7:10PM - 7:40PM **Hacking HiSilicon Cameras for...Necessity (and hacking several million other devices while at it)** - **Ron Munitz (CoE @ The PSCG/PSCG Holdings LTD)**
In this talk I will present the taxonomy of adding remote debugging and OTA\-ing mechanisms to a popular COTS Security Camera device I have been working on for a while\, a little while ago\. The story starts with the why and how \(Design house not very responsive on SW development features\) remote debugging capabilities had to be updated\, continues with some of the techniques used to understand the firmware structure\, resulting in a self extracting archive that adds capabilities without the vendor support\, and ends with the understanding that the same techniques can be used to take over millions of other\, very similar devices\. The main takeaway of this talk is that there is a thin line between being a Linux hacker\, and being a hacker\, but other takeaways include understanding supply chain \(and time to market\) fl\[a\|o\]ws\, common Embedded Linux filesystem structures\, "security opportunities" when working with incompetent managers who experience their first Consumer device manufacturing and shipping\, and last but not least\, how the great nation of China can help you to PwN the masses as a by product\, just because "it's there"\.
7:40PM-8:15PM: **Pwn Without Own: Hacking $100K Gas Chromatograph Without Hardware** - **Vera Mens (Vulnerability Researcher @ Claroty/Team82)**
ICS/OT research is tough without access to rare, expensive equipment. In this talk, we’ll show how we reverse-engineered a $100K Gas Chromatograph, leveraging its Ethernet capability to explore remote attack vectors. By disassembling the firmware and mapping key components, we fully emulated the device, reconstructed internal structures, and decoded proprietary protocols—all without physical access. Oh, and found a RCE vulnerability of course :)
8:15PM - Until we are kicked out **Community Building / Lightning Talks / Networking**
We are looking forward to seeing you, and having more people participate. As (almost) always, if you have something great to talk about - I am happy to "give up my spot" for you. **And by all means, submit talks. Submit Lightning talks. Participate. Share the word. Have your organization sponsor the community - we are planning awesome things, and we want to always keep objective!**
Last words: Everyone, including everyone registers. No one unsubscribes from updates. Please don't test us.
See you soon!

Columbus Code & Coffee 85 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Libera Animae - Freeing the Soul
Main Library
Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen).
Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. This first gathering is a simple introduction to the spirit of the group and a chance to meet others seeking deeper meaning and community.
All backgrounds are welcome.
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
