Home labs: Gambling between a Christmas Card from the Power Company, or a surprise DEA Bust

Presented at PhreakNIC 22 (2018), Oct. 19, 2018, 7 p.m. (45 minutes)

Without a home lab, the legendary garages where the technological giants of yesteryear were born would have been merely 4-wall shells for errant storage. What defines a home lab? Do you need oscilloscopes and power supplies, racks and servers, or do you already have the latent capabilities on your very own laptop? How many Raspberry Pis and Amazon Echos do you need to qualify? How far can I push the limits of my home lab? Should I be humble, or extravagant? Where do you get this stuff? How much does it cost? What is a WAF? Why? All these questions and more to be revealed live with 3 different migratory home labs, hands-on activities, free swag, and a drinking game!
