Presented at
DEF CON 18 (2010),
July 31, 2010, 5 p.m.
(50 minutes).
The Arduino microcontroller platform entered the world under the guise of "physical computing" aimed at designers and artists but just like you can use a paint brush to jimmy open a door, you can use the Arduino in your security toolkit too. Attend this talk to learn how the Arduino makes microcontrollers and embedded hardware accessible to hax0rs too. After a quick tour through the Arduino ecosystem we'll move on to offensive uses. You'll learn about the potential for use in re-implementing classic attacks, potential vulnerabilties in the "internet of things" infrastructure, USB driver fuzzing, physical control and perhaps some social engineering as well.

Leigh Honeywell
- co-founder and director of HackLab.TO
Leigh Honeywell is a jane of many trades. By day she works as a security consultant while finishing up a degree at the University of Toronto. By night (and sometimes over lunch) she is a co-founder and director of HackLab.TO, Toronto's hacker space. She also serves on the board of advisors of the SECtor security conference, has been a Google Summer of Code mentor, and is an avid cyclist, science fiction nerd, and traveller.

follower
- co-founder of Spacecraft
Follower admits some responsibility for integrating certain networking and USB technologies into the Arduino ecosystem. He has a particular interest in the intersection of software, hardware, craft and art. He is currently visiting the country to teach an introductory Arduino workshop at a large US tech conference. Occasionally he can be heard mumbling how Tim O'Reilly once called him a "troublemaker" for his Google Maps reverse engineering. He is also co-founder of Spacecraft--a New Zealand Hackerspace--and gets the blame for kicking off events that lead to its establishment.
