How Haunters Void Warranties

Presented at DEF CON 19 (2011), Aug. 7, 2011, 2:30 p.m. (20 minutes).

Halloween makers or how haunters void warranties, social engineer and find the joy of creativity. A short path down to what a community of makers that mod hardware, special effect and mood you in order to scare the shit out of you just one night a year. These people comprise electrical engineers to housewives and personally I've learned to solder better, faster because of it.

Presenters:

• Reeves Smith - Senior Network Security Eng. Tenacity Solutions Inc.
  Reeves Smith has been working with hardware for security's sake for 12 years, making open source WIDS and the like. He found a community of makers that live for nothing but Halloween and thought their spirit of creativity was a lot like the creativity seen in parts of the security community. He currently works for Tenacity Solutions Inc. as a SNSE and is a Mac Fan Boy. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=571239063
