Rickrolling Your Neighbors with Google Chromecast

Presented at HOPE X (2014), July 18, 2014, 9 p.m. (60 minutes)

Take control over your neighbors' TVs like in the movies! The Google Chromecast is a handy little gadget that lets you stream video to your TV from a variety of sources like Netflix and YouTube. It also happens to allow streaming from nearby hackers. This talk will demonstrate how to hijack any Google Chromecast - even if it's behind a secure Wi-Fi network - to do your bidding. A new tool will also be released to fully automate the hijacking and playing of arbitrary video to the victim's TV. Let the prank war commence.
