Hackers on a Plane
For those with enough leave days left and 1337 EUR/$ in the pocket: Hackers on a Plane brings you to the probably two most important hacker events in 2007: DefCon in Las Vegas and CCCamp2007 at the Finow airport near Berlin. This travel is brought to you by the Hacker Foundation. 😉
Hacking HID devices
Collin Mulliner did already present an attack on Bluetooth based HID devices. Luis Miras recently presented a similar attack on regular RF HID devices at CanSecWest. The hardware part is pretty interesting, check out the slides!
