Arduino For Total Newbies workshop

Hardware Hacking Village
_Learn Arduino using TV-B-Gone as an example project_ You've probably heard lots about [Arduino](https://arduino.cc). But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a [TV-B-Gone](https://www.tvbgone.com) remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you.
Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that super-geeks can use it for their projects as well. This workshop is easy enough for total newbies to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino. For ages 10 - 100. Taught by Mitch Altman. Participants will make their own Arduino clone from a kit, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Optional: Bring your laptop, if you can. Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original TV-B-Gone for Arduino. Workshop Itinerary: Intro to Arduino Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics! Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful. Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Samurai Circuits: U-Do-It-Duino. Now that we each have our own Arduino board, we will set up the free and open-source Arduino software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, Linux, and MacOS are all fine! And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone board. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder. Target practice is available all over the world after the workshop. Materials costs: The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for 40 € (useful for making many different projects).

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.

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.
