Hacking The Farm: Breaking Badly Into Agricultural Devices.

Presented at DEF CON 30 (2022), Aug. 13, 2022, 5 p.m. (45 minutes)

Hacking the farm. In this session, I'll demonstrate tractor-sized hardware hacking techniques, firmware extraction, duplication, emulation, and cloning. We'll be diving into how the inner workings of agricultural cyber security; how such low-tech devices are now high-tech devices. The "connected farm" is now a reality; a slurry of EOL devices, trade secrets, data transfer, and overall shenanigans in an industry that accounts for roughly one-fifth of the US economic activity. We'll be discussing hacking into tractors, combines, cotton harvesters, sugar cane and more.

Presenters:

• Sick Codes - Hacker
  Ordinary everyday hacker. Sick Codes is an alleged Australian hacker, who resides somewhere in Asia: I love finding vulns, the thrill of the the 0day, emulation, free software, reverse engineering, standing up for other researchers & fast motorbikes. I hack anything with an electromagnetic pulse, including TV's, cars, tractors, ice cream machines, and more. My heart lies with Free Software but I like to go where no researcher has gone before. My works include Docker-OSX, which regularly trends on GitHub with 22k+ stars, 300k+ downloads.
