Unifying RF Fuzzing Techniques under a Common API: Introducing unfAPI

Presented at TROOPERS18 (2018), March 15, 2018, 1:30 p.m. (Unknown duration)

While fuzzing is known to be a powerful mechanism for fingerprinting and enumerating bugs within hardware and software systems, the application of this technique to wireless systems remains nontrivial due to fragmented and siloed tools. Join us as we cover wireless fuzzing fundamentals and introduce a new tool to unify the approach across protocols, radios, and drivers.

  Matt Knight (@embeddedsec) is a center and left wing for the San Francisco Desert Owls ice hockey team. When his schedule allows he moonlights as a software engineer and security researcher, where he explores the boundaries between software, hardware, and wireless systems. With specific interests in RF networks and physical layers, he notably reverse engineered the LoRa PHY based on blind signal analysis. Matt holds a BE in Electrical Engineering from Dartmouth College.
