The undercover world of Reverse-Engineering based Integrated Circuit attacks by Olivier Thomas (@reivilo_t) from Texplained (@Texplained_RE)

This talk aims at demonstrating the capabilities of Reverse-Engineering based invasive attacks and its impact on various known attacks. It will show how vulnerabilities can be found in an automated way while some new techniques can be created by taking advantage of a better understanding of the IC even in a black box scenario.

Smart car forensics and Sensor warfare by Gabriel Cirlig (@hookgab) & Stefan Tanase (@stefant) from Ixia (@Ixia_ATI @IXIAcom)

As “smart” is becoming the new standard for everything, malicious threat actors are quick to capitalize on the insecurity of IoT devices. Hackers compromising your network and spying on you is not something new in the world of personal computers, but definitely an emerging threat in the world of personal cars.

The Race to Secure Texas Instruments Graphing Calculators by Brandon Wilson (@brandonlwilson)

In this talk, speaker will provide a technical overview of the history of achieving and maintaining unsigned code execution on the various graphing calculator models Texas Instruments has released over many years, as well as a personal recollection on how the first Flash unlock exploits were created and evolved to keep up with TI’s fixes, how the 512-bit RSA OS signing keys were factored and the legal fallout, and the current challenge to find and utilize new vulnerabilities for the latest models.

Strategies to Harden and Neutralize UAV Using RF DEW by José Lopes Esteves (@lopessecurity) Co-authored by Emmanuel Cottais (@EmmanuelCottais) & Chaouki Kasmi (@EMHacktivity)

This talk focuses on the technical trials and tribulations faced by the authors during the setup and the realization of IEMI susceptibility tests against common off the shelf UAVs. In order to get a fine grain understanding of the effects of IEMI at both physical and logical levels of the drone, a software instrumentation has been performed, implying a privileged access to the system. Some interesting results will also be provided about the effects observed on the target and discussed regarding their criticality.

Spreading The Load: Building A Better Hardware Hacking Community by Kate Temkin (@ktemkin)

This keynote address explores examples of significant hardware vulnerabilities discovered by the speaker — touching on the hardware techniques that led to their discovery — and shows how these issues arose not just from failures of hardware design practice, but from shortcomings in the way we treat hardware security as a community.
