Session

Hacking bIOTech

Beware, bIOTech is not necessarily Biotech. The talk will give an intro into the Compass deliberately vulnerable plant watering (humidity) sensor—bIOTech. A piece of IoT that makes use of the Expressif Systems’ ESP8266 module and connects to the hacking-lab.com platform. An environment, readily available to teach and experiment with information security aspects. You will get a kick-start on how to set up the device and how to tamper with its credential storage. Grab your own device right after the talk.
