Special thanks to Andrea of Hardwear.io team for inviting us. We learned a ton and meet a bunch of new people while (as of this writing) stayed COVID-free.
Interviews in order:
Eric Schlaepfer - author of the new book with co-author Windell Oskay (of “Evil Mad Scientists Laboratories” fame ) “Open Circuits” on No Starch press. Notes there are PREORDER discounts. Jacob Creedon: Just before his talk… at the Mountain View Reverse Engineering Meetup. Spencer Moss from Google (I’m sure you can google the company) security engineer Ken from Somerset Recon Will McGuiness as the workshop assistant for John McMaster’s microprobing workshop. Mike Ryan: Bluetooth expert from Ice 9 Consulting and previous guest. As promised he would be on this next show… but the part2 of our RF tools with him will be the next episode.Have comments or suggestions for us?

Our guest, Jiska Classen (@naehrdine) is a security researcher at University of Darmstadt (why, yes you can specialize in Security here) and focuses on reverse engineering wireless things. She is a speaker at this year’s Hardwear.io. We did a deep dive on ROM patches on Broadcom chips. You'll want to listen to this episode if you are thinking about using iOS devices for your reversing.

This episode Jen is hosting alone so she opted to focus on getting answers to all her Animal Crossing hacking questions by bringing in security researcher and reverse engineer, James Chambers. James discusses various projects including ones that aren’t video game based.
James did a kick ass job of sharing pretty much every single link below to get you going on hacking keyboards and Nintendo so you don’t have to waste time web searching. Plus some of them include past guests so check them out.
