It's for people interested in security, not the more general "make
stuff" kind of hacking.

Breaking the [Radio]Waves for Fun and Profit

Software defined radio has been around for quite a bit, but only now
its impact appears dangerously evident to the security community:
Creating rogue GSM stations, defibrillate pacemakers remotely, open
garage doors? The non-standard radio waves, in the past considered
safe due to expensive hardware requirements to receive and transmit,
are now as vulnerable as 802.11 was in the past.

In the first section of the presentation hardware tools such as the USRP
and more recent Jawbreaker will be presented as well as software to listen,
transmit and investigate captured signals. The second part will be a demo,
where a signal from a RF device transmitted in an unknown frequency will be
captured, demodulated and recreated as a proof of concept. Participant
could participate in the demo - I will provide some rtl-sdr devices or you
can purchase one to play with it ($25 in Amazon).

About the Author:

Jesus Molina (www.jesusmolina.com) is an independent consultant based in
the Bay Area. He holds several patents for creating security devices, has
been a guest editor for IEEE security journal and has published several
papers for hardware and cloud security. More importantly, he is closely
watched by the NSA, like all of us.

Location:

2169 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USA, Earth, Milky Way, Known Universe

Finding the space can be tricky; it has a red circular logo above the
otherwise inconspicuous door, and is next to a market that sells
fruit.  It is very close to 16th and Mission BART stop.  If you're
driving, leave 15-30 minutes extra to find parking due to the heavy
traffic around there.  I often use a lot near 16th and Mission.

He was so quiet you might not notice his absence, like the missing r
in a Referer field.

Business dress code strongly implies that your competency is directly
proportional the presence of a collar and the number of buttons on
your upper garments.
