Hacking is about exploration, and although many articles about hacking may not be applicable to your area or situation for whatever reason, there is still plenty for you to explore where you live. There is the terminus of at least one data stream coming into your residence, possibly more, and a whole spectrum's worth of data and other emissions entering your home wirelessly. Some of these signals may be very close to you. There is also a local non-Internet source of knowledge and information you may not be aware of, that may help you in your hacking endeavors. This talk will attempt to bring these data streams, emissions, and sources to your attention, and show you the tools you will need to explore them. Both wireless and wired infrastructure will be covered. This is a beginner-level talk.
