Hardware is hard, right? Wrong. Building electronics prototypes has never been easier, and people who have been afraid to do it have nothing to fear. I'll tell you about how I build fancy high end devices with minimal, extremely cheap equipment, how it all works, and how you can do it too. We'll find out how to trick your body into making your hands not shake. We'll look at reflow soldering, the way the electronics assembly industry cheats in every possible way to save time, cost, and effort, and how we can do the same, but better, by hand.
In 2015, someone was wrong on the Internet. To prove a point, I started teaching people how to prototype electronics. By now, I've taken thousands of people from zero to one boards built, and I think I've proved my point. Building electronic prototypes is easy. It has to be, because machines have to do it, and machines are terrible at what they do and have no idea when they've done it wrong. Humans can do better, more precise, and often faster. It just takes a bit of technique, a bit of practice, and a lot of courage. I'll take you through it, show you some fancy boards prototyped that way, and try to give you the confidence to attempt prototyping your own designs.

In this 2h workshop, I will teach you to work with the tiny components that modern electronic devices are made of. We will assemble an electronic kitten, that purrs when touched correctly, and hisses when touched wrong. It will work, and is guaranteed to remove your fear of hand-assembling surface mount designs.

The session proposes a quick overview of Frida, a dynamic instrumentation framework, and how it can be used to enhance our work during the runtime analysis of a mobile application. It will be a walkthrough on how hooking and rewriting functions in runtime may be helpful against anti-reverse engineering measures and SSL pinning mechanisms.

This talk will show you how many interfaces have to communicate in order to fly experiments on a sounding rocket. We will give you insights into the procedures and the complexity of a research campaign and the actual flight of the rocket itself. In particular, we look at the hardware and software used in the Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and the Service Module (SM) within the rocket.
