Cat-Shaped Wi-Fi Defender: Hands-on Hacker Hunting With Microcontrollers
08-17, 15:00–17:00 (US/Eastern), Script Kitty Village

Want to become a Wi-Fi investigator? You can uncover hidden cameras, network intruders, and more with the Wi-Fi Nugget! In this workshop you’ll use a cute, cat-shaped microcontroller board to catch hackers using common Wi-Fi hacking tools like a Wi-Fi Pineapple, hunt down suspicious Wi-Fi devices like hidden cameras, and detect jamming attacks. Attendees will explore how low-cost microcontrollers can be used to unmask and track down Wi-Fi hacking tools, or locate unwanted devices intruding on your local network.
