Weighing in on Issues with Cloud Scale

Presented at Summercon 2013, June 8, 2013, 2 p.m. (50 minutes).

No, it's not one of those talks. In this new age of computing, more and more household devices are being connected to the Internet. TVs, refrigerators, and even coffee machines are some of the first to give in to the trend. But these devices are old news. In this talk, we'll take a step back from the ordinary and look at a new target: a WiFi-enabled... bathroom scale? With the help of a soldering iron and our good friend IDA, we'll have a go at reverse engineering the device as well as discuss practical attacks to achieve code execution.
