An autopsy in the IoT - Nabaztag, the Hare

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 4, 2017, 11:30 p.m. (60 minutes).

The first inhabitant of IoT, the hare Nabaztag will be the protagonist of the first IoT autopsy. #IoT Well before the IoT buzzword became common, in June 2005 a French start-up began to sell the father of all Things of Internet, the Nabaztag. Being mainly an object of feeling, (despite being sold as “Information console - portable media player”) Nabaztag will tell us this Internet tale of dreams and nightmares, and will describe the IoT past, present and try to guess a bit of future. One of the most dangerous characteristic of IoT is being hidden. So what better than opening and disassemble things of IoT, trying to understand how they work and what is inside? Well, the first inhabitant of IoT, the hare Nabaztag will be the protagonist of the first IoT autopsy. And let's hope that, after the autopsy, there will be a resurrection!
