Five Dollar Cyber Weapons and How to Use Them

Presented at A New HOPE (2022), July 24, 2022, 3 p.m. (50 minutes)

For five dollars, hackers can buy more power than ever before thanks to low-cost microcontrollers! The cost of sophisticated attacks has dipped below five dollars, but knowing the capabilities of each platform can be confusing. Kody will highlight free projects demonstrating advanced Wi-Fi phishing, HID bad USB attacks, and bleeding edge Wi-Fi research using the ESP8266, ESP32s2, and other low-cost microcontrollers! Finally, he'll show how anyone can get started programming their own custom hacking tools using beginner CircuitPython.
