Thanks to applications in emergency communication\, senso r monitoring\, and censor-proof encrypted chat\, Meshtastic is exploding i n popularity even as the cost for making nodes is going down. This talk wi ll cover the basics of Meshtastic\, setting up and customizing nodes\, plu s outlining the tips and tricks to building affordable custom Meshtastic n odes\, learned from building custom Nibble Meshtastic nodes for the confer ence. Attacks against Meshtastic and issues observed in the wild will also be covered. Expect to learn about LoRa\, Meshtastic node and antenna opti ons\, how to deploy nodes for specific applications\, attacks against Mesh tastic\, and how to join larger mesh networks in your local area!

These mesh networks have been popping up in cities all over th e world\, and this class will go over everything a beginner needs to run o r build their own nodes. If you’ve ever wanted to legally create off-gri d\, encrypted mesh networks that can span over a hundred miles\, you can g et started with building Meshtastic nodes! This workshop will serve as a b eginner user’s guide to Meshtastic\, covering everything from hardware b uilding to software configuration and modules. You will create custom Mesh tastic nodes\, set them up to transmit\, and explore the built-in modules and how they work. Attendees will learn to solder their own Nibble Meshtas tic nodes\, select antenna options\, configure software\, and deploy their own weather-sensor nodes.
