Rickrolling your neighbors with Google Chromecast

Presented at ToorCon San Diego 15 (2013), Oct. 20, 2013, 2 p.m. (20 minutes)

The Google Chromecast is a handy, user friendly, little gadget that allows users to play video to HDTVs from a variety of sources, wirelessly. What could possibly go wrong? There's been some research into modifying the software that runs the Chromecast, but what I really want is to Rickroll my neighbors.

This presentation will demonstrate how to hijack a Google Chromecast on any network to play videos of your choosing. Let no TV be safe.
