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.
In this workshop, we will learn to handle parts that seem impossibly tiny. We will learn a very useful technique (from the 16th century, or possibly earlier) to prevent your hands from shaking when doing precision work, and find out how the electronics industry cheats in every possible way to make assembly easier for themselves, and how we can cheat the same way when assembling things by hand. Using simple hand tools and kitchen equipment, we'll get results as good as any electronics assembly facility.
The board we'll assemble is a cat. It sleeps most of the time, but reacts to touch - if you touch it in a way it likes, it will purr, and if you touch it in a way it dislikes, it will hiss at you. No prior experience with electronics required. This is a workshop for terrified beginners who are afraid of surface mount parts because they seem too tiny to work with. It takes about two hours and costs 20€/kit. We can fit 13 people at the same time.

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.

Hardware FIDO U2F tokens are security devices which are meant to defend user second factor keys from physical and remote attacks. In this presentation different security features and implemented by FIDO U2F tokens and how they are meant to protect a user from various attack scenarios. We will focus on the open source implementation of FIDO U2F token developed and Common Criteria certified by Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Having access not only to the source code of the token ...

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.

During the past few years, many people have started to use virtualized eSIMs instead of the classic physical chip card SIMs. Behind the scenes, a rather complex universe of protocols, interfaces, cryptographic operations, trust models and business processes are in operation to make this work. However, like many aspects of cellular technology, the knowledge of the technology behind it is not widely understood. - despite its ferquent use by a large user base. This talk aims to change that, as far ...
